Father's Day Outing to Madai Water Fall



June 20, Father’s Day again. While much fuss is made about mother's day every year, the father prefer to ignore such a day to avoid fuss. But over the dinner table he himself carelessly brought out the idea "Tomorrow is Sunday, anybody want to go somewhere for an outing?" not aware that tomorrow is a Father's Day but only interested to take the family out for a drive in the family new car Viva. Taking the opportunity. the son quickly suggested an outing to Madai Water Fall.

So that is how we had a Father's Day outing to Madai Water Fall today. And we arrived at noon after 2 hours drive from home.

Viewed at the same angle at a different day, Madai Waterfall displayed a complete different characteristic.

When we came to Madai 10 days ago we saw a lady like Madai Waterfall soft falling water whispering down the cliff. Today we saw strong volume of water roaring down the cliff like solders marching to war.
Last night, a heavy downpour in this region and today we found Madai Water Fall with strong water smashes down the 50 meters height into the pool below and further downstream in a strong current.

PHOTO above : From this point, the fast flowing water jump a 50 meters down to the pool below.
We came fully prepared for a cool waterfall shower, but to find out that last nigh heavy rain made a strong current flow today. As a safety precaution, non of us get into the water as no one there in the down stream to save us in case one of us swept away by strong current
But the local young people are not afraid, several young men and young ladies enjoy the cool and strong mountain water. There, you can see two brave Muslim girls enjoy playing against the fast flowing water (photo below).
