Gunung Nuang here i come!!

Woah can hiking be taken into a new level when u add PLU into the picture.. Man the first thing that came to my mind was an orgy in the woods.. well who wouldn’t have entertained that idea.. But enough of this non-sense.. it started with the guys picking us up at Pudu.. from which we went TESCO.. got our supplies and headed back to one of the guys houses.. it was there that were I gathered myself an got to know our host who to me was very welcome since he had not even met me once.. very generous of him..


We then had dinner at a nearby stall from which a few other members were introduced.. The next day we all set out early to meet the other hikers.. these guys come from all walks of life.. some old some just starting there life others like me still in Uni.. I guess I was the youngest.. with my lack of experience I was kinda nervouse… plus my friend who came with me was stuck with his ‘partner’ so I was left to fend for myself.. it was all good as I was then introduced to a few great guys who I then spent most of the trip with,..


Hiking up to the campsite was plain torture.. with a few advice from joe and crewcut I found that most of it was due to improper use of the equipment.. the ground was muddy and slippery.. fuh!! Was sweeting like mad.. along the way saw many beautiful sites.. kind of woodsy type of person.. um.. after 3-4 hours tracking with God know how many pitstops.. we manage to reach the campsite..




We set up the camp an I took the opportunity to jump into the water.. and was it freezing!! I think my balls were like ice-cubes the whole trip:P.. that nite after the introduction sessions nad most of the others were in bed I gave the suggestion to play strip poker.. man was I in for a surprise.. I was the first to loose but thankfully not the only one.. I was winning and suddenly I had a loosing strike that came out of nowhere..

So off came the pants and everything.. later we all jumped into the water buff!! Let me assure u that nothing improper happened.. we were after all in the woods..

Next day those who wanted to go to the peak headed up while the rest of us (including me) minded the camp.. After D-camping we all headed down.. this trip was much easier.. made it in roughly 1-2 hours..


Going back I went with abang zack and abang amir.. they dropped me off at abang azmi’s house which I thought was the agreed upon meeting.. but due to some misunderstanding with my friends I had to wait 30-45 minutes until the got back from Dinner!! Well life’s teaches u stuff and I took this as a lesson learned..


But overall it was a great experience.. met great guys.. caring individuals.. a myriad of personalities.. (hey, i kinda acted abit queeny during the end of the trip, who new i had it in me?) :p
