• Bukit Tabur PreTraining Hike

Alright, I agree I was kinda lazy these few days, but what can I do when I am still on a holiday mood when I was up and away to East Malaysia in Sabah. Well, I was there for 6 days, and there’s bound to be lotsa stuffs to talk about.

Climbing Mt Kinabalu was really tough but in order for me to get myself prepare for this gruesome climb, I need some pre-training hike and what a better place to do that than Bukit Tabur (Tabur Hill). Yes, if you’ve been following me, I think some of you have seen some snapshots of Tabur Hill but those pictures were like some kind of crap photos. But I assure you this time, it’s gonna rock.

Imagine looking from the cliff above and see like there’s two world’s apart. One on the right is civilization, another on the left is a lake . It was misty that day, so pictures are bound to be “mistified“.

• Bukit Tabur Year End Climb

So think of climbing the hills once again. Yes, I went up to Tabur Hills or Bukit Tabur. This time bringing a group of 3 guys and 3 girls. Well, include me then it’s 4 guys and 3 girls. Haha… what can I say about this trip? Well, they’re all beginners and never had any experience climbing up a hill, well one said they climbed once on this hill but only half way.

Well, what’s so special about this Tabur Hills a.k.a Bukit Tabur? I am sure many of you know that it’s a quartz hill that is scalable and needs usage of hands to do it.

Be warned though, if you don’t want to get your legs and hand scarred, get a glove and it’s funny, looking at the group I brought having difficulties scaling down the slope using the rope. Well, I even need to offer my knee to one of them. Anyway best you people take a look at the photos instead.

I can see the dam and the water contained in it. Fuiyoh, shocking. Imagine falling down from here. Hehehe… well Tabur Hills is indeed worth the climb up till 6 hours the longest journey I had. Though I did finished it in 2 hours before.

LOL!!! OK, this is fake, even the expression is fake. It’s not as taxing as that, but you really do need to use hands. Well, want to know how tough, just carry on looking.

Yes, it was a climb to remember and yes, we went for Tom Yam after that. Well, I can still organize another trip and if you want to climb too, just drop me a line or a message. Last but not least, enjoy the rope short movie clip below.

Edit : Movie clip not loading from YouTube so stay tune for the video update later.

• Labour Day Bukit Tabur Climb

danielctw is back from his rest and blogging back again
—————————————————————————————————
Yoo hooo… I say… yoo hoo hoo hooo… it’s not true… I’ve been used… I’ve been on the evening news..
O.o

Ok, so I know I went up Bukit Tabur. What do I do there? Why the heck someone like me kept on going up Bukit Tabur? So free isit? Nothing to do is it? Always climb here, go here and there. Aiyoh… what to do I love to jalan jalan as in adventuring about. If not very very the sienz sometimes.

But too bad, I won’t have that super privilege coming right up this week. So many work to do, all with datelines coming on Tuesday. Aih…. “sei for” someone kill me please.

Funny thing is that after my previous few trips with like 3 to 4 people. Seems like this time I’ve got 7 people going up this time. Ho ho ho… oh ya… Only 2 of them are 2nd time climbers while the other 4 are first timers and girls. So it’s also up to me, a super experience trekker to go lead the way and to guide them while descending from the rocks using the rope.

What the heck, a scorpion on the trail up the hill? It’s about 15cm long. What the, as long as a basic ruler!!!!

Me caught the scorpion Bwahahaha… ya rite..

Every climb one always get to see new things. How close can one get to a real life jungle type scorpion. Ha ha.. Well, at least I’ve seen one there. A huge one too. ><

Of course the best part of this hill climb in Bukit Tabur is that there are ropes, syiok. This is what makes Bukit Tabur different from other jungle treks. What the heck is FRIM and Hulu Langat when you have these kind of experiences? I mean they are totally a different league compare to the challenge that Bukit Tabur gives.

Of course, I must do my pose whenever I go somewhere. Well, always me taking photos. Why not my own photos lor. I was like “Ho la… I am looking for any pretty leng lui in the sky?” O.o Nuts rite??

What can I say of the weather, it was fine on that day. Very sunny and glad that sometimes the sun was blocked by the clouds. Most of them got sunburn though. Ha ha.. that’s the price one has to pay for slowing down. It’s almost noon, of coz it’s sunny. Duhh… I can climb up again for a small price. Say RM5 per person or you just have to pay for my lunch. he he he he…

Anyway to end this interesting climb and trip, if I am not lazy I might post a part 2 or rather why not I just give you something I found amusing on this trip too. I call it the missing link story of YB (Young Brat of imtoobad.blogspot.com). *fast fast run away*

• Bukit Tabur Again 0.o

climb climb up sunshine mountain
heavenly breezes flow
climb climb up sunshine mountain
faces all aglow
—————————————————————————————————

So back to Bukit Tabur once again. Yes…and in case you haven’t read about my other Bukit Tabur escapades, search for Bukit Tabur.

It was indeed the same kind of experience but then now it seems more and more people seems to know about this place. Well, that was when me and my group got up, we found another group of people going up and they were all like first timers except one guy. Well, of course, that time.. I was like waiting for the group to finished but seems they are taking their own sweet time or maybe cause some of them are scared of height. Well, that’s Bukit Tabur experience.Oh ya…anyway here are some rules which I would like to point out when climbing on this natural quartz mountain.

1. Do not…I repeat do not litter the place with empty bottles. They don’t decompose. (Makes me mad that I have to pick them up)

2. Please do not pluck any flowers or destroy the habitats on the hills. Especially those people who made campfire at the last hill. You guys are the dumps.

3. Try not to wear too bright a color, I found it out the hard way (bees get attracted to you).

4. Always stay in a group and don’t be a hero to go all the way on your own. If anything happens to you, no one knows. When someones lagging behind, wait for that person.

5. Things to do before going up. Pack a bottle of water (recommended 1.5 liters) and a change of clothes. Also bring some light snack. Carry a backpack and wear proper tracking shoes if you want to climb the rocky cliffs.

6. Have a guide who has been there to show the maneuver of where to step and stand during climbing sessions using the rope. (You can also employ me to be the guide HOHO)

Well that’s so far what I can sum up. Going up the hills everytime brings something new to see. Especially the previous night when it was raining. The ants and insects are more and even mushrooms growing around. I love the ants, they are kinda peculiar unlike those you see on the normal grounds. Bigger butts.. ha ha..

One thing though, my group enjoyed the most was the part when you need to use your hands to climb up the ridge. Less tiring, they said. Well indeed, the best and most untiring part is actually this part of the ridge. They hated the walking up the jungle track more than climbing. Haha.. well glad all of them enjoyed. So have this got any of you interested in climbing the hills?

Not yet, then how about some photo shooting? If you’re interested in taking photos, here’s the perfect place to take some snapshots of KLCC and also Genting Highlands (if you’re lucky that no mist or cloud was covering). We even had one photo enthusiast in our group, taking almost anything. So I then don’t waste my time and had a snapshot of him. Hahaha… I am sure he wouldn’t mind being posted cause we can’t see his face. *whistles and runs before I got pummeled*

The Super louyea shitting pose

So when will be my next trip up? Very soon. All of them can’t wait for another 2nd round.
