Mount Tahan M2M 7-10 Sept 2019

Mt Tahan located in Pahang, Malaysia is one of the famous mountain to conquer not only for Malaysian but also famous among European. This mountain also one of my bucket list.

I was lucky enough to join this trip after I looking for Mt Tahan trip in Fb and one of most professional Malaysian mountaineer was responded to my post. It is Abang Dee who has a lot of experience especially in mountain search and rescue. After a simple chat and deal we are manage to meet up at KTM Station Merapoh at 7th September morning.

After meet up with other line up we move to Pejabat Perhutanan Sg Relau for item declaration and officer briefing. Then we took 4x4 to starting point which took around 30 minutes. Around 10.30 am we start hiking.Our target for this first day is Kem Kor which consist of 13.5km. You will need to cross few small river. The water depth about knee to waist. You may use adidas kampung or sandal if you are not comfortable walking with wet hiking shoes.

From left: Talib,Dev,Karim,Saiful,Azam,Me,Asrul,Ju and Dee as our leader 

I as beginner hiker reach Kem Kor at 6pm while other members already reach earlier and done set up their tent. They hand help us to set up tent. We have a joyful evening there because the waterpoint is big enough for us to take bath.

We having dinner after Maghrib prayer and have 'ngopi' session till 11pm. We close the session and back to tent. Around 30 minutes later thunder suddenly came out. And its raining heavily that night till early morning. Luckily our tent are not getting wet inside and that night our neighbour Singaporean's group was slept with water. Their tent not well covered.

Warm up session before messed with Good Morning Hill. (Still smilling)

We pack up and start hiking at 11am. The earlier planning to shoot to Kem Botak was changed by our guide(Atan). He advised us to set up tent at Kem Kubang instead of Kem Botak because of raining last night and the timing was delayed almost 4 hours. From Kem Kor to Kem Kubang only 6km but the elevation at Bukit Good Morning will challenge your fitness level. On the track after Kem Permatang Abang Dee found a beautiful scorpion. It was my first time for me to see with my own eyes the scorpion that a bit huge than ordinary black scorpion. The shining greeny-black colour was so charming. What a lovely scorpion.
 I with my Asrul and Kak Jue slowly hike up untill we managed to reach Kem Kubang at 4pm.

Blue Scorpion I guess

Me Abg Talib and Asrul getting ready to shoot up from Kem Kubang. Sorry guys at the back there not spotted in picture.

Then at earlier morning in the mist arround 4am we shoot to summit.Kem Kubang to Kem Botak about 10kilometres. At the beginning there was a bit shower rain but then luckily the shower stop. If not it might be difficult to us to deal with muddy trail in rain. Arround 8am we reach at Kem Bonsai checkpoint an enjoy our first view of Mount Tahan range. We also was welcomed by two cute mountain birds.

We enjoy our moment at Kem Bonsai.

We having our 'tapau' breakfast at Kem Bonsai before we continue hiking to Kem Botak. There are plenty types of herbs plant on the way to Kem Botak. Some of them may used as to cure diabetes and high blood pressure as explained by our leader Abg Dee. But because it is Taman Negara it is prohibited to pick or take any flora or fauna.

From Bonsai to Botak will need another 3 kilometers and will take around 1 hour for normal pace. We have a short break at Kem Botak before continue to summit another 2.4 kilometers but the slope are quite tough and also will took 1 hour for normal pace. Finally arround 10am we managed to conquer the peak. We are not so lucky because of the haze, the view around the Tahan range was not so clear. Nevertheless we praised to God for the opportunity and His willingness giving us chance to conquer Mt Tahan. 

We celebrate at peak around 1 hour and descend back to Kem Botak for lunch and 'ngopi'

Our group having photo session at Mt Tahan peak.

From Kem Botak we back to Kem Kubang and spend 1 more night. For info Kem Kubang waterpoint is quite far. Only on 2nd day we go to refresh ourself, on the 3rd day we are lazy enough and enjoy sleeping with smelly body. What a disgusting attitude. Hahaha forgive me. But you'll know if you are being there.

'Ngopi' again

On last day arround 7am we pack up and dismantle tent and fly ground. We having breakfast and last 'tapau' for lunch. It took us almost 4 hours from Kem Kubang to Kem Kor. We having lunch there and continue back to starting point at 12pm. We safely reach at starting point arround 3 pm. Then arround 4 pm 4x4 arrived and took us to back to Taman Negara office for check out process.

It was a joyful and sweet memories along 4 days and 3 night there. Believe me you wont regret to come here to enjoy the the nature and wilderness. So what are you waiting for. Move up and pack up to Mt Tahan!

Ambang Merdeka Gunung Lambak bersama JGL Hikers

Tanggal 30/8/2018 tengah hari aku dan Abang Asrul gerak dari JB ke Kluang. Tapi sebelum tu kami singgah ke rumah Boy di Kulai untuk ambil Boy dan saudara Ijad dan tukar kereta(kereta Boy) yang lebih sedap dan lebih rasa kacak jika jalan jauh. Hehehe.. Setelah selesai proses penukaran kami gerak semula ke Kluang ikut Bandar Tenggara. Kononnya nak elak jem highway. Nah sekali kat Kulai Jaya pun dah jem. 

Dekat situ pun buang masa banyak dah. Mengikut tentatif kami nak meet-up dengan group JGL hiker dikepalai Azy di kaki gunung jam 8.00malam.. tapi pukul 7ptg masih kat dalam hutan sawit lagi. Kami singgah solat maghrib dan makan di hentian Bandar Tenggara. Aku pekena sup daging dengan nasi putih kat situ.Memang padu sup dia.. tak sampai 10hinggit sekali minum.Pukul 8 baru gerak dari situ dan lebih kurang 8.20 sampai di kaki gunung.

Setibanya di kaki gunung terus register, sedikit strecthing dan mula naik kira-kira jam 9 malam ikut trek belakang toilet. 

Sampai di papan tanda selamat datang gunung lambak kami bergambar kenang-kenangan. Kemudian meneruskan pendakian secara santai. Trek dia senang sebab clear dan ada marking. Follow ja marking inshaallah sampai.

Kira-kira jam 11.30 kami selamat sampai di puncak. Dan detik ambang merdeka jam 12 malam kami beramai-ramai menyanyikan Negaraku. Rasanya last sekali aku nyanyi masa form 5 kot, nasib baik lah masih ingat lagi. Huhuhu. Kebetulan ada birthday boy, jadi kami tak melepaskan peluang makan cemei disamping kacang shandong dan kopi Wonda bekalan aku bawak.

Malam itu jugak hampir 90% turun semula tapi aku, abang Asrul, Boy dan Ijad memang taknak turun seperti dirancang. Dengan sedikit teknik malu-malu tapi mahu saudara Ijad berjaya mendapatkan ground sheet (cemei jugak) dari brader JGL. Kalau tak silap Min nama dia.

Bermodalkan ground yang cemei tadi, kami membuka port betul2 di campsite puncak gunung. Situ boleh lah kalau nak buat 2-3 tent. Kami dan kawan2 baru berborak skit2 malam tu kemudian tidur macam udang dek kesejukan. Berdasarkan temperature instageram suhu 21 degree. Tapi aku syak lebih rendah lagi sebab temperature tu yang bawah punya bukannya kat peak.

Sesubuhnya seorang apek yang baru sampai puncak pagi tu terhenti di hadapan camp site kami dan senyap. Mungkin dia ingat ha nun ta wau kot..mau taknya Ijad dah selimut habis dari bawah sampai atas.hahaha..Lepas kami tegur apek tu baru lah dia pun tegur balik dan terus jalan ke puncak.

Sunrise? memang tak nampak sangatlah sebab terlindung pokok-pokok. Tapi adalah sikit view point dia. Kira bolehlah kan kalau dah lama tak layan view gunung pagi-pagi. Selesai layan view pagi dan sedikit bergambar acah-acah pro kami semua pack semula barang dan turun ke kaki gunung. Memang ramai pagi pagi tu sepanjang trek. Mungkin sebab public. Nasib baik lah aku dan kawan2 tak naik siang.

Selepas breakfast dan ngeteh kami bergerak pulang ke JB. Inshaallah ada kelapangan boleh repeat lagi. Waze sahaja Hutan Lipur Gunung Lambak kompom sampai.

Tempat wajib bergambar kalau ke Gunung Lambak

Sorry girls not available anymore ^_^

I love Malaysia

Layan view dan awat karpet manja2

Geng tak mandi pagi :p

On trek turun

spesis terancam yang wajib ampa tau. hahaha

Ok tq for reading. Babaii...

 

Hiking Mount Semeru

A few years ago I coincidentally met Mr Shariman Said at Mamak tmn melawati after I coincidentally met his pals at tabur west. One of them is abg Zain Kbs. Ok to be specific after I was being late to follow hacam program with mk. I arrived at 7something, they all have gone. Serve me right! I start solo then I met abg Zain after he'd seen me alone. So thats how I met abg Zain. A friendly and a polite uncle.

As a beginner, to hear they chit chatting on hiking was a very big fear factor for me. They are seriously talking about hiking outside from Malaysia. Especially Nepal,Japan,Africa and Indonesia. You can imagine me that only used to hike tabur and bukit saga sitting and trying to act as otai they are.

We end up our teh tarik session with adding fb and contacts number.

Time flies. I see Mr Shariman continue updating his log. Make me jealous. Then he add me to nex group. One of the post that  was really2 make me angry is the ABC post. I cant found that post after I tried scrolling down. But still can remember that icy rocky mountain awesome view. This is shit. Make me thinking all night all the day. How am I to follow them? It was like an ambition.

One day in 2015, I cannot tahan anymore.haha forgive with rojak words.almost every week seeing abg Shariman bakar line. I blindly make a ground deposit to abg Shariman after a short fb chat followed by a Mamaks session on the same day. I decided to follow him to mount semeru,east java, indonesia after considering my budget and because of ranukumbolo, a high attitude lake located in the mid way of Mt semeru track and also because of oro-oro ombo, a secret lavender garden look a like located behind the ranukumbolo. Some local name it Ranum or Danau Kumbolo.

Ok now I already make a fool decision after reading some blog about Mt semeru difficulties. How come a beginner like me are going to deal with that?

17/05/2016
The day was come. We depart from klia2 to juanda airport, surabaya. Flight delayed few hours so our plan to see blue fire volcano at kawah ijen was cancelled. We touch down at surabaya arround 8 pm then we went to Malang to take a nap rest.

19/05/2016
I skip the 18th because it was a leisure day plus they are too sophisticated to describe the beauty of penanjakan bromo sunrise moment and the mandakaripura waterfall. You may check out from the photos.

After breakfast at ranupani, me, abg Shariman, Nenek Kebayan, Catcher kak d, Mohd Akram begin the hike. It was my first time carrying load with my 70L rucksack. I worried I cant. Fortunately before this I have make a bit squat exercise. So I think it was help my back and shoulders.

Almost at every check point we found warung serving fresh watermelon, water and snacks. We quite regret carrying 3L water bottle and energy drink. Trust me, every checkpoint you'll stop for watermelon. The locals call it semangka. We make friends along the way and say 'semangat' everytime passing. I not so sure why. But it was like an official tagline maybe to keep hikers mentally motivated as it means.

We reach at ranukumbolo arround 2pm. It was late since we are planning to head off to kalimati campsite, final campsite before summit attack. We target to reach at 12. Well thats because of semangka warung and maybe the slow pace. We discuss our plan while having our tapau menu.

After ranukumbolo we head off to kalimati. To reach kalimati should pass penanjakan cinta, oro-oro ombo,cemoro kandang, jambangan. The local believe that a love wish may come true if one pass penanjakan cinta by not looking back, their wish will come true. We found that one single gentleman Mr akram in our trip not turning his head back. Hehehe. We understand you bro. Its hard to make one love us, but it will be very hard to maintain the love after you get someone. Trust me.

The next photography session is at oro-oro ombo. The purplicious lavender garden look alike. But that time the flower was not fully rises. The flower actually is not lavender, it is wild flower named similarly to brazil.(can Google yourself)Our track friend pink hikers told us that the flower was damaged after the re-open of track. Almost 5000 hikers enter the track after the track was closed during April because of a quite dangerous eruption.

Back to the story, between the cemoro kandang and jambangan there is pine forest to pass. The single gentleman,akram was far leaving us behind. The day was getting dark. I was alone behind the single boy. The slope was not so challenging. But the sorrow feeling was make my adrenaline pump faster. You can imagine walking at dusk lonely in the pine forest with middle height bush. Sometime I feel like there were something watching me behind the bush alley.

A few hundred metres before I reach jambangan checkpoint, I heard some one calling me, "uii."stopped "Ui ui"that wat 3times uii. I saw a lady wearing orange windbreaker on my back. Seem like a kak d Nenek Kebayan. But I cant convince myself it is her. So I continue hiking till I reach jambangan checkpoint. Then after I stop. Yes it is her. Thanks god. Now I got accompany to kalimati base camp. An this time we met an uncle wearing jubah and serban. Its weird but as long as he can speak it is okay. Maybe he went to kalimati to perform prayer as imam.

After arround one hour slightly descending, we reach kalimati arround 8pm. Wait for kak b and abg Shariman then set up tent, having dinner and try to sleep at 15degree celcius. I cant sleep at all. Not because of the coldness, but because of other hikers are chit chatting each others.

20/05/2016
At 1am we hike up to mahameru summit. It was like a dumb being here early in the morning. I cant forgive my self at this time. Abg Shariman keep motivating and pushing me.

The forest part done. Now only left the botak part. The footdeep sandy rock with almost 60 degree ascending I guess. Once step forward,will be once step to backward. That will need a lot of force to hike up. The local gave tips to step on the footstep that left by previous hikers. Yes it works and will save a lot of energy.

I follow the bujang(single) boy pace, while others are behind. I dont know what kind of lung he had. My breath and heart are rapidly working but his face look so relaxing and innocent like watching football and enjoying some kuaci.

We stop and take five few times then I surrender by not following him anymore. I nearly sleept during take five. If not maybe I cant share this story.

I enjoy my pace and sometimes look back. Just alone enjoying the sunrise and finally managed to reach the summit arround 8am. Took me almost 8 hrs for 900metres track(estimated). The tired feel,the dumb feel,the unforgive feel was completely dissapear. We are served with 360degree panoramic view with some carpet cloud view. Also clearl view of Mt Arjuno Welirang. Its tougher than Mt semeru based on chit chat with other hikers. Well maybe next trip will be the Mt arjuno.

We gather among Malaysian hikers and Indonesian. There was 7malaysian including us. Enjoy the winning drinks, snacks,ciggar and some photo sessions. It was a day that we feel an independence day of malaydonesia.no difference at all among us. Like they said "kita serumpun".

Then we ski-down descending back to kalimati. I was a bit nervous then they left me far behind. I make it faster to catch up them and suddenly I fall and rolling like a durian fall at dusun slope. Luckily I managed to stop it. Otherwise maybe again I cant text this story.

After reach back at kalimati, we all are served by our master chef with specialious soft rice with tuna in cup.hehehe. Credit to kak b. Yes we enjoy it kak b. Especially kak d.huhuhu

Ok we pack back to set up tent at ranukumbolo campsite. It was a lazy move since we had reach the top of mahameru. We arrived on time and managed to get the best spot for the sunrise. That night I can sleep but sometime I heard the background gamelan music far far away.huhuhu. That sound actually from the other world(local told me). Only me and kak b Nenek kebayan heard that sound.

21/05/2016
Sunrise at ranukumbolo
Trust me, you will not regret with this. Really worth it. After the sunrise session and some self satisfaction pose we enjoy our last breakfast and share with other hikers. Then we pack up and shoot back to ranupane.

I was proud for challenging my self and able to do it.
I also proud accompanied with otai that always brush me when they found I make wrong. They also a good teacher,supportive and willing to make family although by just met at klia2.
I also proud with nex. Its not a group of hikers. It is a friends,family and community.
I also proud to be Malaysian. (not political)

We are same, we are born to be Malaysia. So where it will be for the NEX trip?

Mendaki Gunung Ledang

Kali nih nak share skit pengalaman naik Ledang baru-baru ni. Trip aku ngan Geng-Kaki Panjat GKP dikepalai Ezanie atau E. Kalau x silap 29 orang kot budak2 naik termasuk aku

25 Mei 2014

3.00.am -  Tiba di RNR Ayer Keroh. Terus cari surau topup tidoq sikit sementara tunggu budak2 lain sampai.

Seperti yang tak dirancang, Jam 7.00 pagi baru lah gerak ke Tangkak.

Setibanya di kaki gunung terus prepare barang daypack dan declare barang di pintu masuk. Kemudian sesi taklimat lak dari brader guide. Kami mengikut laluan Lagenda Trail yang merangkumi 7 check point.






9.00 am  - Start mendaki, sebelum nak sampai ke 1st check point (CP) memang terbaik, disajikan dengan Tangga Mahligai kalau tak salah ada lebih kurang 700 anak tangga, hehehe mmg terbaik. Tapi tangganya tak se-hardcore tangga di Twin Peak. Cuma dia banyak sikit saja dan agak mendatar.

lebih kurang 30 minit kemudian tibalah di CP1, Bukit Semput.

1st waterpoint

kat dlm Gua Kambing

sejurus keluar dari Gua Kambing

Dan dipendekkan cerita jam 2.00 ptg camgitu sampai ke puncak.. Kesimpulannya bagi aku paling hardcore di sini ialah semasa menuju ke CP KFC dan ketika main tali di Batu Hampar.

Kat Batu Hampar ni rasanya dlm 80 degree memang kena fokus step ngan pegang tali. Silap2 hari bulan mmg kegaung.

Dari Kem Botak menuju ke puncak

 

Rilek2 sap kok dengan Pait Gunung

antara GKPians yang menjaya trip kali nih.Tahniah2. Hehehe

Setelah setel topup perut, lepak2 dalam stengah jam cam gitu kami gerak turun sebab didesak brader2 guide suh cepat..Kalau x kerana abang guide mmg pakat tak turun lagi budak2 ni..

Time turun aku cadangkan ampa singgah kat waterpoint,  air dia sejuk  dan waterpoint tu mmg cun dan comei. gambar aku tak sempat ambil lak memandangkan aku yang paling belakang time tu. 

Lebih kurang jam 6.00 ptg sampai ke starting point.Berkumpul mandi...setel apa patut dan kemudian bersurai.

Bagi aku Ledang view memang best, rugi kalau ampa tak naik sinih.

11.00 pm - sampai di Shah Alam

-THE END-

Panduan mendidik anak.

Renungan bersama...

1) Jangan pukul anak dari lutut keatas

2) Jangan gunakan tangan/anggota tubuh kita utk memukul anak dengan tangan dan jangan sesekali menampar anak pakai tangan kita. nanti anak jadi bertambah degil dan nakal dan tak boleh control

3) Rotan/pukul anak di telapak kakinya . Secara saintifiknya ada kaitan dengan refleksologi dan merangsang ke bahagian otak

4) Mulakanlah hidup anak anda dengan nama panggilan yang baik. Nama panggilan yang kurang baik akan menyebabkan anak anda malu dan merasa rendah diri. (Dalam Islam sendiri nama panggilan yang baik adalah digalakkan).

5) Berikan anak anda pelukkan setiap hari (Kajian menunjukkan anak yang dipeluk setiap hari akan mempunyai kekuatan IQ yg lebih kuat daripada anak yang jarang dipeluk)

6) Pandanglah anak anda dengan pandangan kasih sayang (Pandangan ini akan membuatkan anak anda lebih yakin diri apabila berhadapan dengan persekitaran)

7) Berikan peneguhan setiap kali anak anda berbuat kebaikan (Berilah pujian, pelukkan, ciuman, hadiah ataupun sekurang-kurangnya senyuman untuk setiap kebaikan yang dilakukannya).
Janganlah mengharapkan anak anda yang belum matang itu melakukan sesuatu perbuatan baik secara berterusan, mereka hanya kanak-kanak yang sedang berkembang. Perkembangan mereka buatkan mereka ingin mengalami setiap perkaratermasuklah berbuat silap.

9) Apabila anda berhadapan dengan masalah kerja dan keluarga,pilihlah keluarga (Seorang penulis menyatakan anak-anak terus membesar. Masa itu terus berlalu dan tak akan kembali).

10) Di dalam membesarkan dan mendidik anak-anak, janganlah tuan/puan mengeluh. Keluhan akan membuatkan anak-anak merasakan diri mereka beban.

11) Dengarlah cerita anak anda, cerita itu tak akan dapat anda dengari lagi pada masa akan datang. Tunggu giliran anda untuk bercakap (Ini akan mengajar anak anda tentang giliran untuk bercakap)

12) Tenangkan anak anda setiap kali mereka memerlukannya.

13) Tunjukkan kepada anak anda bagaimana cara untuk menenangkan diri. Mereka akan menirunya.

14) Buatkan sedikit persediaan untuk anak-anak menyambut harijadinya. Sediakanlah hadiah harijadi yang unik walaupun harganya murah. Keunikan akan membuatkan anak anda belajar menghargai. (Anak2 yg dtg daripada persekitaran yang menghargai akan belajar menghargai orang lain).

15) Kemungkinan anak kita menerima pengajaran bukan pada kali pertama belajar. Mereka mungkin memerlukan kita mengajar mereka lebih daripada sekali.

16) Luangkanlah masa bersama anak anda diluar rumah, peganglah tangan anak-anak apabila anda berjalan dengan mereka. Mereka tentu akan merasa kepentingan kehadiran mereka dalam kehidupan anda suami isteri.

17) Dengarlah mimpi ngeri anak-anak anda. Mimpi ngeri mereka adalah begitu real dalam dunia mereka.

18) Hargailah permainan kesayangan anak anda. Mereka juga dalam masa yang sama akan menghargai barang-barang kesayangan anda. Elakkan daripada membuang barang kesayangan mereka walaupun sudah rosak. Mintalah kebenaran mereka sebelum berbuat demikian.

19) Janganlah membiarkan anak-anak anda tidur tanpa ciuman selamat malam,

20) Terimalah yang kadangkala anda bukanlah ibubapa yang sempurna. Ini akan mengurangkan stress menjadi ibu bapa.

21) Jangan selalu membawa bebanan kerja pejabat ke rumah. Anak-anak akan belajar bahawa kerja pejabat selalunya lebih penting daripada keluarga.

22) Anak menangis untuk melegakan keresahan mereka tetapi kadangkala cuma untuk sound effect sahaja. Bagaimanapun dengarilah mereka, dua puluh tahun dari sekarang anda pula yang akan menangis apabila rumah mula terasa sunyi. Anak-anak anda mula sibuk mendengar tangisan anak mereka sendiri.

Mendaki Pine Tree Hill & Twin Peak

Kekira 2 minggu yang lepas pada 9 Jun 13 aku naik lagi ke "bukit". Pada awalnya aku sangka kan yang bukit aku nak panjat ni memang bukit. Rupanya gunung..nama ja bukit cehh..aku lak tak survey langsung pasal bukit ni. Time on the way baru member aku bagitau. Bukit yang dimaksudkan ialah Pine Tree Hilll terletak di Fraser Hill. Target kami ialah menawan Pine Tree Hill + Twin Peak. Group member Hafiz Nazri  dan Randy Lim. Fuh ramai tak group kami nih? hehhe

Sabtu 8 Jun 2013
Aku taknak cerita panjang macamna nak sampai ke Bukit Fraser sebab perjalanan dia memang berliku-liku. Aku yang kat blakang hampir2 koma angkara En Hafiz Nasri yang tak puas hati dan mengejar sebuah Porsche yang memintas Kancil beliau. Setibanya di Fraser Hill (kira2 jam 9.30 mlm) kami buat laporan dulu kat abang polis di Balai Polis Fraser Hill. Bagi nama..nombo ic..dari mana..dan nombo kecemasan untuk dihubungi.

Dah setel bagi nama dan mengompemkan masa untuk turun dari gunung kami pi window shopping skit pastu p isi perut lak. Ada warung2 kat sebelah taman mainan. Aku pekena teh tarik ja sbb dok terbayang-bayang bekalan yang ada kat dalam beg nuh.

Selesai mengeteh, tanpa ragu2 lagi kami menuju ke base camp yang bakal menjadi hotel 5 bintang kami malam nih. Cari punya cari..tengok2 tapak tu dah jadi tempat main gasing.. Terpaksa mencari pilihan lain iaitu bermalam di tapak padang mainan. Bunyinya mcm tak berapa adventure la kan..tapi tak kisah la. Tu ja yang ada.. Tapi yang bestnya kat situ ada tandas awam. Jadi memang tak menjadi masalah untuk pelaburan di pagi esok.

Selesai setup hotel 5 bintang kami, sesi memilo dan makan ringan2 pulak. Milo paneh, Roti + peanut butter  pastu twistis 2 paket menjadi mangsa kami..

Malam tu memang kami semua tak leh tidur. Ada seekor kucing hitam datang ganggu kami tidur. Dok cepuk khemah. Mungkin angkara en Hafiz dah gagau batu dia.. Katanya dia nak check jantan betinanya. Tapi sampai nak tidur malam pun kucing tu dok cari. Last2 buat tak layan ja. Pastu si itam tu blah. Rasa aman sat pastu dekat2 subuh dia datang balik..Adoii..mungkin sejuk rasanya..Tak apalah nanti kalau jumpa sleeping bag untuk kucing aku beli bawak spare satu.Hehhe.

Ahad 9 Jun 2013
Kicauan burung2 telah mengejutkan aku. Pantas aku bangun takut2 ada burung gagak dari Shah Alam datang merampas makanan kami, Aku ada sejarah hitam skit ngan burung ni, bukan sebab dia warna hitam. Masa tu aku kecik lagi ikut rombongan dengan emak aku gi Mesjid Shah Alam. Aku tinggai la sekejap makanan aku kat luar mesjid sebab nak terkencing, Bila aku keluaq tengok memang dah rabak la bekas polisterin tu dek gagak Shah Alam ni. Berbalik di Bukit Fraser ni aku lega bila aku tengok kat luar bekalan makanan kami masih rapi dan yang ada hanya burung Awang spesies rare. Nak mcm burung overseas pun ada skit2. Maklumlah Fraser Hill ni pun ada yang menggelarnya Mini Scotland in M'sia.

Jam 7 pagi lelebih skit Hafiz ngan Randy pun bangun sebab perasan aku bangun. Bangun cepat2, clear hotel pastu buat b'fast pulak. Chef Hafiz sekali lagi menunjukkan kepakarannya dengan memasak hotdog dan telur   goreng yang dihidangkan bersama roti. Pekena yang tu saja pun dah kenyang dan terasa konpiden ada banyak energy nak mendaki nanti.

Bergerak ke starting point, Jam 9.30 pagi kami mulakan pendakian.. Laluan pada mulanya agak mudah, sehinggalah terjumpa tangga batu. Ketebalan tangga batu ni menurut eksperimen encik Hafiz ialah hampir 2/3 dari siku beliau iaitu 2x ganda dari tangga batu cave. Memang menguji  kekuatan otot dan lutut. Kira-kira 2 jam perjalanan sendi aku lak buat hal. Perjalanan terpaksa dislowkan sikit oleh Encik Randy selaku Marshall ketika itu. Sampai di Campsite lebih kurang jam 12.00 t.hari kot..topup air (di bawah campsite tu ada sumber air) opposite simpang. jangan pergi kat blakang campsite tu lak. yang tu tempat pi buat pelaburan.hehhe.

Lepak-lepak dalam 15 minit campsite pastu kami teruskan lagi perjalanan. Sejam kemudian,,, Alhamdulillah sampai la jugak kat puncak Pine Tree Hill jam 1 ptg..Permandangan tak berapa best sangat kat puncak time tu, mungkin kerana dek kabus. Turun kat bawah tu skit ada view lagi syiokk disebalik semak..

Pendakian ke puncak Twin Peak mengambil masa lebih kurang 45 minit sebab sendi aku..adehhh kaki kuu..Sesampai saja kat puncak Twin Peak memang puas ati bro. Menjerit kepuasan dek kecantikan permandangannya. Subhanallah...

Sesudah menikmati view, lunch kami sekali lagi dimasak oleh chef Hafiz. Masakannya ialah..nasi dalam messtin.hehe. Sambal bilis lak aku bawak bekal dimasak oleh chef syafiNaz besertakan telur rebus.. Selesai pekena nasi kami berehat sebentar dan sambung menikmati view. Tapi view dah tak berapa nak syiok sgt dah. Sebab cuaca tiba2 bertukar gelap sikit macam nak hujan. Kat gunung-gunang ni memang suhu dan cuaca ni cepat berubah-ubah.

Bertolak turun kembali melalui denai dan trail yang sama, jam 6.00 petang kami selamat tiba di starting point.
Selepas selesai mengeteh dan report balik kat Balai Polis, jam 9.30 malam kami bertolak pulang. Terasa rindu sungguh kat Fraser Hill.. Pine tree..twin peak.. insyaallah nanti boleh datang lagi. Semua orang boleh naik sini. Yang penting jangan buat sampah ja. Kalau nak buat jugak sendiri angkat turun.. Orite..?

sedikit info tentang pendakian kali nih:
* puncak Pine Tree - 1448 m
* puncak Twin Peak - ?
* trek length - 12 km (pergi balik Pine Tree + Twin Peak)
* duration - 8 hrs
* banyak burung2 rare. Antara yang sempat kami skodeng ialah aktiviti burung belatuk menebuk batang kayu

Mengemas selepas sarapan
