Kiara Trek And Kepong BKT

Saturday morning saw a group of us 'taking a walk' up Bukit Kiara - via the jungle route. As not only Ethancya and Renzze were around for the weekend but the SM doctor as well, it turned out to be a good crowd: Puddy (the guide), otousan (the organizer), Vin, SMdr, Ethancya, Renzze and us. It was sort of a scouts gathering for the others as well, to us...Lad was suppose to have joined us, and it was also his suggestion that we did a morning jungle trekking session, but unfortunately he'd to work instead.

There were moments we were seriously considering backing out of the trek the night before - seeing how we'd actually spent the night at the mamak chopping heads at Guillotine with psike, wolfx and rhyen. But since we've never been up Bukit Kiara all these time we've been staying in TTDI, we thought, heck, might as well explore the place at least once. Plus it's something different from our usual Saturday of sleeping-in.

The trek was good, although barely 15 minutes into the thing we were already drenched in sweat while others were mildly perspiring. Very different from the treks we did in CamLand. Here we learn a new perspective from Renzze: "Animals sweat; men perspire; women sparkle." Unfortunately for Renzze, she must have sparkled something special as she was the main target of all the mosquitoes that plagued our trek - Singapore blood could be tastier.

The view from somewhere near the top - we didn't end up at any lake that Puddy mentioned but it was still a good view.

The trip down was much better - while we trekked up following what we suspected to be the rubber tapper's path, we took the jogger's path back down instead. And Ethancya shared with us this fact: "Bald men are very horny people." How this statement came about, we don't remember...:S

After our dim sum breakfast at Taman Megah, the group headed back before the night meetup. While fetching Puddy home we were exclaiming how early it still was (only 10.30am) and that it barely felt as if Saturday has even started.

We ended up sleeping the entire afternoon away after showering.

One thing that was not to be missed was Kepong BKT with Ethancya and Renzze around :) It's been some 5 to 6 months since we actually had Kepong BKT (and while we just had Klang BKT not too long back, we still want more!). One source of entertainment at this shop was the tissue papers that they provide:

All the way from Singapore. Previously, the tissues were for some halal restaurant. Wonder where the next batch will come from.

congrats on your latest feather to your TTDI cap (why am i the klang fella that actually went to the kiara trek before native TTDI-ians???)

as far as i know, there's no lake to be seen except for the TTDI park. and if you follow the wrong rubber tapper path, you'll end up at.... penchala link!!!

Aik Yong: Hmm, can't say it's a feather in our cap really, we're not like, proud of the accomplishment. Oh, native TTDI-ians and Damansarians beat you to it lah, it's not their first time up. And we are not native TTDI-ian.

Yes, we know of a couple of friends who ended up at Sri Hartamas once they came out. :D

Jason: It's one of those things that are only fun in retrospect, really.

Henry: By all means.
