What can 4 testosterone-filled men do when they get together?

Loo, Danny, Liks and I

Find an outlet to release all those hormones that they've been saving up for years.

There were mountains to climb and valleys to trek. Heavy in foliage and bush, the trek was not meant to be easy.

15 mins in

But as men, with their natural instincts, we overcame every obstacle thrown against us.

30 mins in

We used our hands, our fingers to get a good grip. We even went down on our knees and sometimes on our ass. No slope was too steep, no valley to deep and no bush too thick!!

Jungle trek

We began our journey at around 0900 hours; it was s'posed to be according to Danny's friend, " a 2 hours in 2 hours out hike."

The dam

Since a girl can do it in 4 hrs, we men; We can do it in 3!! With time for a picnic at the top.

Been there, done that

It was really easy for the 1st hour, we got time to cam whore around and with danny's melodious voice, we broke into a song.

All smiles

It was either the EASY hike or danny's singing that taxed liks. He was pancit-ing every 10 mins and vomitted once. Yes liks, i'm stating this on purpose! =)

A dying liks

The day was perfect for a hike, bright but not sunny. A lil breeze now and then to cool us down and it wasn't too humid! We thought we could go on for forever...

Pit stop

The view wasnt too shabby either. There was the Klang Gates(a Dam) located on our right which we thought we could bathe in at the end, or rather i did.

Natural beauty

Where the trek ended, began our torture. It was real mountain climbing with only ropes and your strength to carry you. There were some 80 degrees slope which wasnt all that hard in the end. Tsk tsk, it just looks hard!

Pit stop 2

We conquered peak after peak with Danny the Macho in the lead pushing us to our limits just to catch up with his ass.

Danny's ass

The trail split into 2; one's the rope which is harder and the other a trail to trek. We took the path less travelled.

Wasnt long before we met our first rope where a girl lost her grip and fell to her death. Before reaching the rope, we met a girl which danny was trying to seduce with his yoga body. She was on her way back and was spotting a 'HUG ME' t-shirt.

I will not tell what happened next.

The first rope was a 50m descend. Since we scoutsie are used to climbing rope legless, it wasnt that hard for us.

1st rope outta 3

Had a race with danny up a rocky slope. Stupid fella took it down in 10. I reached in.... twe...twelve. It was... ugh.... windy and it was raining stones when i began climbing!!!

Continued our journey when we reached a cave like area. To show off their muscles and how big their balls is, loo and liks challenged each other to a climb to the top of a slope.

loo liks

Gahahahahaahha... ;)

The pictures ends here not because the trail of getting to tough or smth. Nope, sure wasnt! Had to keep it because... err.. ran outta battery!! Yea, and the same goes for my ipod. I.. errr, forgot to charge it.

Slopes were getting steeper and the climb trickier. 80 degrees slope were omnipresent. Every peak we thought is the end, another greets us right after.

Almost towards the end.

We reckon we went down another 2 ropes and were on the 2nd last peak where the trail ends and the rope snapped. Danny-the-macho-brainless insisted he saw ropes below and maintained the descend was possible. Since loo and i were behind, we asked liks to confirm that.

liks : Bullshit!

We spent about 20 mins arguing the course of action with us 3 on one side urging prudence and Danny-the-macho-brainless on the other side urging we descend. Danny started calling his friends and loo started calling his friend raymond or smth.

One told us to keep going, and the other thought we were lost. One said there was a smiley at the end, the end only has a sheer drop to greet us. The other kept asking if we had enough food, we werent planning for a huge picnic.

Finally one said that was a trail to an orchard, the other said it should be a durian orchard.

Then raymond told loo we weren't suppose to conquer every peak and that was that. We backtracked leaving Danny-the-macho-brainless sulking bout not conquering the last peak which is thus:

The inaccessible last peak

The trek down was way way way way easier. We thought we were trekking down templers park!

Had a 100m dash to the car with Danny-the-macho-brainless. What a loser he is.

A few things that did not happen:

1) We did not get lost
2) I wasnt made a slave-scout
3) We did not find a water source
4) We did not shout 'sofia's a bitch'
5) We did not kena pancing by paddle-pop


All in all, it was a bloody fun hike albeit tiring. Next target would be the trek up cameron highlands at the end of year. Now that would be some hike!

Spectacular.
