Oh man.

trekking 

and 

mountain climbing..

Broga Hills. =)

I managed to squeeze in some time for a little hike up a hill.

Its called Broga Hills situated in the outskirts of kl.

The scenery is just perfect, but a little too packed on weekends.

The Little secret place behind my house.

The seven little things hiding behind the bushes.

They are just so so so cute. =)

Mr. Wormy.

It's so beautiful there. :]

Fly Awayyyyy

Yesterday my friends and i went for this great adventure.
We headed down to Shah Alam, Taman Pertanian. It's basically a jungle made into a park, filled with fun pack activities. About 23 of us participated in a circuit game consisting of flying fox, walking in nets, balancing act, all up in the air..  [ Check it out yourself http://www.skytrex-adventure.com/contact.php].
While a few others preferred to just cycle around the park.. Bike were for rent for a starting rate for RM3, and RM1 every subsequent hour.

Initially i was a little scared because its about 17m up in the air... but eventually i got over it and it was so much fun... we didn't take much photos while playing because we all were so focused on trying to not fall off anything... So we only took photos after completing the circuit.. =)

All of those who played the games.

Having dinner after the games =)

I had so much funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn =D WWWEeeeeeeeee

Enjoy!!

This was where we put up for a night, small cottage like house with a beautiful fire place... 

From our little house, we could see the magnificent mountain

that we were going to climb. Beautiful isn't she?? 

This is meeeee!!!! Excited and all smiley...
As mentioned in my previous blog, it was stairs all the way..
Ass tightening workout!!! As you can see, its rather misty,
and it was pretty cooling.

I took many pictures of trees... thats the only thing i snap.Many many trees all around. Most of them were bonsai-looking trees. There were a few beautiful flowers too... The last 3 photos were taken from the peak, on my way down. Breath-taking views. Definitely the most beautiful thing i have ever seen up till today... =)

This is where my life begins.

The sky was beautiful, so was the sea, and the view from above was breath-taking.

Everything was so tiny from air. Clouds look like cotton candies hanging from the clear blue sky.

Huge oil tankers looked like pencils, islands looked like chocolate cubes... imagine me... i must be sooooo tiny...

So here i am, in Sabah, mentally and physically ready to climb Mount KK.

We reached the airport about 2, and had lunch.. we had some difficulty getting transports to fetch us to KK park which is about 2.5 hours from the airport.. nonetheless, we managed to get relatively cheap transport and reached KK park at 6pm. Our journey up was just... breathtaking. Beautiful, just something i needed, no buildings, no trains, no honking, no angry people... just the sky, clouds, clear cool air and loads of smiley people... =) We had dinner and went to bed early.

6th Oct

I woke up at 6 am, packed, had breakfast and at 7 sharp, left for the timpohon gate, all ready for my hike. The first 1 km was kinda relaxing, but after that, it was stairs all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyy.... and i thought i was ready for this!!!! CAPITAL oh M gee.

My arse has never felt so tight....... =P

But i didn't feel tired at all, was too busy drinking in the beauty of it all. The air was cool enough, and it made my hike comfortable. Kept on munching chocs for energy!!!

After hiking for about 5 hours, i reached the 6th km mark(Laban Rata) , where all of us would rest for a few hours and continue our hike up to the submit.

My legs were ok, hasn't turn into jelly yet, but i needed to rest. Just as i thought i could check in.... then i just realized i had to climb a little more to my room.................................................

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH, with all my strength i marched up and was glad, that i could rest a little.... I was drenched in rain and had to take a bath. GUESS WHAT, water heaters were not working......................................................... so i did take a bath... the water was like... a tiny mouse's tail, and i had to stand under the shower for ages to wash my hair..... by the time i finished bathing, i couldn't feel my toes or finger. I have died and rose again. Did i mention it was 10 degrees C??????????????????????????????

We had dinner at 5 and played cards till about 8pm and headed for the bed, as our climb begins at 2am. I wore 5 long sleeve shirts including a wool turtleneck on top of that i wore a windbreaker, i had 4 pants on, 3 pair of socks. I had 2 blankets, and a sleeping bag.

I WAS STILL SHIVERING!!!!! i thought i could get some rest before the morning hike, but it was too cold for me to even sleep and i had trouble breathing (asthma).

7th Oct

2 am came faster than i thought, we had breakfast and started out hike up.

We need to climb another 2.5km to reach the peak. For the first 1km, its was stairs- VERY STEEP STAIRS. ALL THE WAY. and it was getting colder as we kept on walking and walking. My legs were exhausted, and i had to breathe harder as the air was thinner as we got up.

The next 1.5 km was difficult for me, it was literally mountain climbing, we had to use ropes to pull ourselves up. I found myself stopping very frequently-very exhausting and i stared wheezing. Thank God for Alvin and Sean, they helped me a lot, they stopped and waited for me,made sure i was ok. Gruesome... really gruesome. At about 5.30 am i stopped to catch my breath, but i that the sun was coming up, so i said, i have to make it to the top before it comes out. So with all my strength from my everywhere, i hiked up and reached the peak, but i didn't get to see the sun rise!!!!!!!!!!!! its was too misty.The wind up there was furious, i was shaking like mad, trying so hard to take decent pictures.

The pic above was one of the spectacular views from above. Not only i got to see the sunrise,

i found peace within myself, and i accepted myself for being different and i am so much happier than before, all with the help from God. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength for doing this, making me see the bigger picture which i cannot fathom most of the times.

Ok enough of emo stuffs... we didnt stay for long, its was too cold.. Going down was just as difficult as going up. Only in the light i realised how steep and difficult was the climb to the peak.

We all had lunch and headed for back down, my journey back down was terrible.

It was raining like cats and dogs, i was drenched, tired, and my knees hurt like mad.. =(

I was soooo tired of feeling the pain, so i ran for the last 2 km, reached in approximately 3 hours and waited for the rest... My knees were goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... =(

We had lunch and headed off to Kota Kinabalu city..... *to be continued*

Self Accomplishment =)

Hieeee, its been quite a while since i blogged.. been pretty busy with life =D

A weekend with parent in Malacca, bf's graduation, hangout sessions, exams, test, assignment...

But the best of the best was today's event. I climbed Crystal Hill, and you can find crystals forming everywhere!!! =D

I must say it was very refreshing. Felt very different, i was so excited. It was my first time climbing a hill with all my other friends. It was quite steep at some point and we had to rock climb a little too.. We took approximately about 4 hours to reach the peak and go back down.. Here are some pictures .. Enjoy!!
