Tomorrow's the day that i'm going to attempt to conquer Mountain Nuang..=D..cant wait for it, since last time i went to Mountain Angsi, i had been kinda addicted to mountain climbing..=D..

i'm now packing my stuffs..here's the checklist:
- Extra T-shirt.
- A bottle of 1.5 litre Water
- A bottle of 1.5 litre 100 Plus ( had my lesson last time, need to bring this along for dehydration..XD)

- Student ID
- Slippers

well, i guess that's all, anymore stuffs and i'll be like carrying a dumbell up the hill..XD..this time should be more fun then last time since there's a lot of classmates going, and the best thing is, it's my roommate william's birthday, and he's coming along..XD..

Hello And Good Bye

Here i’m back again, been kind of free lately, since it’s after exam and i’m still not in utmost mood to study day and night yet.=P

Now i’m actually writing this in the Dnest classroom, we all had reached for almost an hour and still there’s no one here to teach us a lesson..wait..that doesnt sound right..i mean conduct the class.=D.

So, here i am, typing myself away. Oh ya, yesterday i gotten myself a pair of new shoes, it’s an all terrain shoe by New Balance, codename: MT608.

Planning to wear it for jogging this evening, do some testing..=D..

I like the design of it..=D..

The Identical "N" logo.

U can even choose the Wide Size, good for me cause my foot is wide..=D

The price is quite reasonable after discount, Rm139, considered it could be used for a long time and be able to withstand heavy usage, unlike the power shoe i wore to mountain Angsi. i had declared that shoe as total lost..XD..

It's mouth is open.XD..

Oh well, now the Engineer is telling us to go out to the hangar, heard he's saying bout showing how they top up hydraulics fluid, and we are going to have a group photo taken..=D..will post it soon if i could get my hands on those photos..=P..

So, as the title says, Hello New Shoe and Good Bye Old Shoe..XD..

Mountain Angsi Conquered! Part 2

Hello and Welcome back to Mountain Angsi Conquered! Part 2, today we'll be talking bout the other half of Mountain Angsi's climbing experience..=D

Sound like a TV broadcasting..XD..well, continue from part 1, after the steep hill section, all of us continue up towards the peak. it wasnt easy, because the path there are all very sandy, make it really hard to walk if the shoe you are wearing have thin thread. So an advice for all you peoples who wants to hike a mountain, get a proper shoe. you'll thank me later..=D..

I said so because the jogging shoe that i wore that day, well, didnt really give me a good day as i almost slip for quite a few times..XD.

final rest before we all continue.

Almost reached the peak..

there's this point where me and my friends walk too fast that we were just walking by ourselves, and ironically, my friends walk ahead of me when i was getting a short break..XD..and in the end, i had to walk alone for almost 15 minutes, quite a thrilling experience i would say, since it's known that you shouldnt wander alone in the forest for certain reasons.=). and sometimes you'll heard some noises, i'll call it the nature's voice.=D. And finally, i had reached the peak.=D yay!!
ok la, i know the hills not that high, but it's an achievement also isnt it?=D.

everyone having their rest.=)

From left : Charles, Chee Ping, Me, Mr Veejay, unknown guy..XD..*didnt ask for their names*

37 hikers, 29 make it to the top. *the others had done well also*=)

dont know what town is that..=S.


This thing indicates that where we are standing is the top of the mountain.=D

Last 5 minutes resting time till we have to start going back.

At this point, there's one good news and one bad news, the good news is, going down is faster than going up, since there's the help of gravity.XD..and the bad news is, we are all out of water.

yup, all out, and the nearest water source is at least 1 hour away. And trust me, if you sell 1 litre of water for 5 ringgit at the peak, people will buy it from you.XD

After half and hour of descending, me and chee ping declared "engine overheated" so we stopped for awhile. well, we are running and without water for quite some time, so it's normal.=). Another half an hour later, we finally heard the sound of re hydration, "unlimited supply of water". =D..

And there it is, the river!!, nope, not the photo below, i forgot to take a photo of the river, too busy drinking and refilling my bottle..XD..

it's the miniature waterfall we saw at the bottom of the hill.

The pose of finally reaching the bottom of the hill. *note, poser is ah piang*

Well, althought there's some mischief happen later on, which causes part of the team stuck inside the forest in the dark for almost 2 hours. But in the end, they came out safely without and injuries.=).

later on, we went back to Nilai, With our mind and body literally exhausted.

From this mountain hiking experience,i realise that it is a good way of challenging yourself beyond your limits.

And for those who's interested in mountain hiking, why not consider Mountain Angsi?=D

Mountain Angsi Conquered! Part 1

It's been such a long time since the last time i post. Well, it's been a busy week last week because of exam preparation and stuffs.=).

But even with all those stressful stuffs going on, we cant forget bout having a bit of stress-free and fun activities eh?=D..and the good news is, there is!! right after the day that i had my exam, me and 3 of classmates went for the mountain climbing expedition.=D, it's consists of 4 mountains, all on different dates. The one i went last week is the first one which is Mountain Angsi, it's about 825 metre high from sea level, which is not really a big deal compared with the last mountain in the list, Mountain Kinabalu..=D..

Alright, time to talk more about the climb.=). On that day, we had to gather at the Admin block at 7, so we did. but guess what? the never ending tradition of most malaysian, "malaysia time", which basically means add another 30 minutes to get the exact time for all ocassions. We only managed to leave the college at around 8..=.=..

Oh ya, before we leave for the college, i took some photos..=)..trust me, the first pic will make you go "huh?"..=D..

Jeans for mountain climbing? that's new..XD * sorry for the blur image, hand was kinda shakey that day*

Well prepared..=D..

feeling annoyed from all the waiting...

Mr David Evans from the ADP giving some briefing..=)

After some dizzy road trips thru the mountain roads. We finally arrived at the starting point of the Mountain Angsi hiking path.=D.Everyone gathered around first..=)

Apparently, a group called ' Road Rumble Motor Club' set this place as their destination, note all the cars there?=D.

Let's get started!!

Nice stream..=)

Teamwork shown all the way in the climb.

Taken at the bottom of the hill.

Almost grab this tree when looking for something to hold..XD..

We had gain tremendous power in this sacred forest..=D..

Same goes to this 3 chaps..=D..

The view i saw when fainted on the ground..XD..just kidding..stamina so good..cant faint so easily wan..=D..

look down.

Look up

look down again..such a long way to go..

At this point of the climb, i'm almost out of H2O..all i had left is say..50 ml? that's why i had to drink drop by drop, savouring each of it. That's almost torturing i would say, but in a way, teaches you to appreciate water more. when you climbing, there's really no way for you to get water in that situation. =(..and i can even eat the biscuits that i brought.=.=..cause my throat is getting so dry that it started to contract, and without water, it's getting harder and harder for me to swallow anything dry..=.=..

The best part of the climb..=)

Encounter some armies in their training.

Armies in action..=D

There's two route of getting up the hill, and i used the one on the right, the one the green t shirt guy used.=D

Mr David and Mr Veejay.=)

Well, i guess that's all for today..=)..will continue part 2 when i'm free..=D..

Now it's time for my precious sleep, so good night dear world..=D..
