Taman Rimba Teluk Bahang Forest Challenge

As usual, a group of friends and myself (20 of us) went for hike at Taman Rimba situated in Teluk Bahang, Penang. It has been suggested by one of my friends and he told us we only need to take about 2 hours (to and from) to compeleted the challenge....but we ended up took about 6 hours (to and from).

This challenge is not easy...in fact it it quite tough. The initial stage (before 1,500 m) is still ok, The trail is quite flat, not steep. So we were so energetic. After 1,500m...here start the challenge. The trail is quite steep at this point of the trail....but still ok. I start to sweat as usual. (non stop one) The the trail continue to be very very steep, up and down somemore (for 4 times)...so conclusion, we concurred 4 mountains.

All of us took some stop to rest throughout the trail. That's the reason why we took 6 hours. The 2 hours is fro those who has excellent stamina and very high determination. I am not very good in stamina....luckily I still have determination to reach the destination that we set. The destination is about 4,150 m.

The scenery is not bad, we can see the whole Teluk Bahang dam, forest and we get a very fresh air up there. As usual, we took some photos to prove that we concur the challenge. :p

So, for those who feel like have a try, please ensure that you have a very good stamina and very high determination. Or else, you really will put yourselves in a big problem. That's not joking.

Cancer - kill people

Recently, an artist just passed away at young age 34 years old due to breast cancer.

Cancer is a word that is so scary to everyone. It is like when you went to consult doctor on your illness and heard the word cancer, your life will be "cancelled" soon.

More and more people has been passed away because of cancer...but there are lots of people who survived from cancer also. Recently, I joined the event "Relay for Life", I saw so many cancer survivors. They have success!!!!

Never give up, keep fighting and you can make it.
