Up Bukit Tabor once again...7 July 2007

I dun know why but I am alwiz late in blogging my stuff.. think it has to do with using other ppl's camera as well as my own so there is alwiz some missing photos which I wanted to blog with as well so I just wait la... So if news are a bit delayed, bear with me...

Well this is the reason why I did not blog this earlier...

Isnt this photo worth the wait? Breathtaking view and me soaking up everything right at the peak..... here is another shot....

It was actually not right up the peak yet but this was the spot with the fantastic view... It was actually quite precarious for me to sit on top of that rock... I was at the edge of the hill and any wrong move and I would have fallen to my death (or at least major injury).... but check out the view....
Picture was against the light so not that clear but it really was beautiful... and to think this is actually in KL... surprising huh? This is actually the dam somewhere in the Taman Melawati area...

Here is some of those who went up as well... Cool pictures huh?

Wanna know how it looks like right up at the peak? Everything was green and tiny.. the trees were short...plants were a bit dry...must have not rained in quite some time... My previous time up the moss was so so so green.... but it was still a nice climb....

Here are some random photos....

Blue Ferns.. Cool huh?
Me hanging off a cliff... nolar..actually trying to climb over...
Cheese abseiling down with some really untrustworthy rope....
Some yellow flower that got caught in my hair.. Jeez my hair is SO red!!
So back to the climb... there were 10 of us going up but in the end we split into 2... 5 of us including me wanted to be a bit more adventurous and take another route which was not so well marked or used... we nearly got lost when we came to a point which was totally not marked and none of the directions looked as if it has been used before... luckily we had a couple of experienced guys with us who went down each side to check out for a connecting route.. luckily we found one.. :)
Then after coming down somemore, we entered a Durian farm... was so tempted to pluck them and have a small picnic.... haha!! then we came across rambutans.... and cempedak... wah... really hungry already.... by the time we came out, we were wondering which part of the hill was this...
We stopped a car passing by to ask for some directions... we got scolded.. they thought we were students from a college nearby (wah...so nice to think we look so young!! hehe) and apparently some student were lost up the hill before and a search party had to be sent out... he started pecturing us and saying he wanted to look for our Dean and charge us for a guide.. refuse to listen when we said we were not lost.. we had a fantastic navigation unit with us which Cheese brought... Cheese is just so so so well equipped.. Wait till you hear what we did next... haha!!
So we got ourselves back to the foot of the hill where we started our climb.. decided to have a picnic by the river nearby... Cheese actually has a mini gas burner with all utensils equipped ready for us to cook..he even brought pre-pack dried food meant for actual camping.. so we boil some water and cooked our meal.. (which was just adding hot water and waiting for 10 minutes...) how convenient.... brilliant idea of whoever who created that... haha!! Guess what we had? For the main course, we had Chicken Teriyaki with Rice and dessert was blueberry cheesecake with graham crackers I might add... and to end it off, we had some English Tea... talk about a picnic huh? hahah!! So all in all it was a fun outing!!! :D
