Last weekend, I went hiking at Bukit Tabur. I have never been there before. There are two routes to reach the peak, one is the east side and the other, obviously the west side. We head towards the east side of Bukit Tabur. It was known to be less steep compared to the west side.

So up we went, the route is quite tough (for me).. the rest of the guys, they go up the hill as if they are just walking on tar road. =.=”

The place is interesting I have to say, with nice view. There are no leeches or bees or ghosts ( I didn’t see any).  The beginning of the path is quite easy, but as you go higher up, you have to use the rope to help you up. The sceneries are beautiful~ but the weather is getting warmer. Blame it on us for starting our journey late :p

On my way down, I have difficulties.. finding my steps. Luckily there are experienced hikers around, guiding me where to step with my trembling legs and my pair of sandals. I get scratches and bruises from knocking myself against the rocky mountain. I sure do wish the rocky mountain I mentioned here refers to the ice cream cake in Coffee Club, but no, this Bukit Tabur is a rocky mountain. We have to use rope at certain part of the mountain to climb up and down.. According to one of the experienced hikers, he advised me not to rely on the rope, rely on my legs and hands to grip and climb down.  I felt like a spiderwoman. Woohoo!! But no.. I feel too insecure not to rely on the rope. I have no confidence with the strength of my arms and my legs..

Anyway, I got down from the mountain in one piece. Still alive. It was fun, I do encourage those who like trekking to try this. But be very careful… there are people who went and died from falling down.
