It's a trip to reclaim my childhood memories.
When I was a kid, the waterfalls is one of our favourite day trips to escape the heat in Singapore.
20 years down the road, it's good to see that the waterfall is still pretty much the same. I still enjoy having a powerful water massage by one of the rapids in the upstream.
What is sad is that the whole place is almost overtaken by stupid tourist developments in the downstream area. Of course, nothing is free now and we have to pay to enjoy nature.
Other than ugly concrete chalets that eat into the forested areas, construction is also undergoing to build ugly water slides over the stream. Ouch...I can almost feel the rocks crying out in pain for having to shoulder the weight of these metal and concrete structures over them.
The tourism charade is completed by the rows of eateries and souvenir stalls lining the road up to the waterfall.
Sorry, no outside food is allowed, barring people from bringing their own picnic basket.
