Bukit Tabur Hike

Now who would not love sunrise, especially when you are with your loved ones...

well,you can catch sunrise without much effort if you're in redang, or perhaps some island..

even better, hop on to the net, google sunrise, you can even have the video too.

What is worth more, is when you USE all your MIGHT to CLIMB HIGH and witness the sunrise, on a klang gate (bukit tabur) Had always been talking about bukit tabur with my mates.. gosh!!! And all i hear from them is Michelle? When are you going to turn your WORDs into ACTIONS? join us laaa..

So despite its AN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING

despite, I HAVE A COMPETITION DATELINE on the same day

and .. DESPITE, i have not completed my work... I join the divers a.k.a crazy fellas a.k.a monkeys to hike bukit tabur.. JUST to see SUNRISE..

A bit intro of Bukit Tabur, a batu kapur hill with length approximately 1km, about 400metres above ground, located near Taman Melawati.

It is known as the klang gate as you will be able to catch the entire KL view, though further than what you can see from the look out point back in Hulu Langat, this hill gives different challenges, as you need to CLIMB up. and about 60% of the entire hike is CLIMB not hike.. means.. gotta use ya hands.. rock climbing style you know.Thus made the trip much more interesting...

So we woke up at 4.30 am, went to meet up at a point 5am. Drive down to nearby stall to makan till 6 am, drove to the car park and start hiking at about 6.20am..

So we climbed and we climbed, with torches on our heads, we went UPWARDS,

just to catch sunrise

My sis and I before the hike, both only slept bout like 2hours?? and trying to act ENERGETIC..wakakakaka

And so there were 10 of us, having a briefing..

remember, code names and no names allowed in the jungle.

So?? SATU SAMPAI SEPULUH laaaa ..

I was number 6.

Climb halfway upwards, sis felt dizzy, bet we started off too fast and she couldn't catch enough oxygen..

So she rested, and then I broke the 1st rule of the day by calling our leader

"Joshua.. how long more?"

Didn't notice, till number two called up ONE a.k.a Joshie and told him something

Paiseh laaa.. that was in the dark, man!!! I m terrible

Some of us went on, climbing higher and higher just to get a good view of the rising sun.

But but but... it was not long when all of us got frustrated by the 5minutes more kinda motivation.

For me, i woke up 4.30am for the sunrise, DO or DIE also must reach the spot by then, if not might as well i come at 8am right? aih!!!..

So i monkeyed my way up, and the real challenge was the rock climbing and the steepness of it.

There's one friend of ours who wore lots of acessories, rings and all, with her hair LONG and untied, and she could do it, I with my pride, am SURE i can do it too..

Reached the peak at close 7++ I don't quite remember.

aND we spot the ever beautiful and worthwhile scenery

The Kuala Lumpur View. Btw, all pictures are taken using my phone. So the resolution abit the cha.. wait till i get pics from teh ever wonderful NIKON SLR ..
About 45 degrees anti clockwise, you will see mountains and mountains, and the mists.. (picture below) below it is a lake.

Another beautiful view

And i couldn't resist to get myself SNAPPED, with the view, yes the ferns are in the way, but yea.. I couldn't get any much further cause I'll just bungee jump without the rope, screaming to god say here i C.O.M.E


After a while when no one wanted to try Joshua's OVERNIGHT LEFTOVER TARTS..
we moved ahead to cross the hill. Basically it was mainly rock climbing.
Climb up down up down

That is eric, and you can spot spencer (right bottom) and yew hong (behind spencer) climbing down
I was on the other hill, that they are to climb, down and up to my side..
btw, 400metres up and no ropes provided except for real steepy places.


Come on come on, come up to mummy.. climb people C.L.I.M.B

it took us bout 2 hrs plus to complete the remaining course, now we are going DOWN hill which was easy.. cause no more rocks, and just land and sand and pokok and leaves and mosquitos and bites and falls and slides..

Wanna see how high we went?.. (pic below) I was on top of that hill for a moment yeap!.. ON TOP ok.. NOT below or around.. KAT ATAS, ON TOP .. WEEEEEE

Conclusion? Exciting, though my thighs are hurting real badly now. But wouldn't say no to any next trip provided that we have rock climb seessions laaa.. not just hiking

And owh.. the breeze on top was good, and you felt like on top of the world, when you completed the course, just like finishing a marathon.

My sis say if i do this weekly i may loose some weight ot accomodate for CNY..

till then.. meet you next year with my next post :D
