Second day of CNY...

Woke up at 0715 brush my teeth and prepare myself for another jungle walk. This time its only me, my youngest bro, uncles and aunts

Went in through the main entrance today...


Then to the watch tower, hanging bridge and 2X the "Killer Stretch"

It was not so tiring today as we were only walking in a fast pace... but we still sweat ALOT despite the cooling weather in Bukit Gasing

Diet :

0740 - 2 small pc of dried meat

0945 - 1 pc of chapati + 1 glass of teh tarik kurang manis

1300 - my lunch + 1 packet of jasmine tea "kurang manis"


Note :

I am kinda getting used to the uneven surface abbit today... I was really having a hard time through the uneven surface during first part of yesterdays walk... And i also find myself loving the environment in the jungle too might follow my uncle to more hikings/tracking/walking in future

Tenth day of CNY...

Woke up at 7.15am to prepare myself for another tracking at Bukit Putih Cheras... Interesting place, but i second andy's oppinion that Bukit Gasing is better.


Level 1 - climbing upwards all the way but nothing much challenging

this is hell alot of ants

Level 2 - not too challenging with some level grounds


and we pass by this along the way

Level 3 - this is steep... but its a good workout



Level 4 & 5 - slightly level ground again

And now this is the crossroad... to go level 6 or waterfall



and here we are at the waterfall this is a REAL tough climb... Initially me, 2 of my brothers and my uncle headed to the waterfall while my mom and aunt headed to level 6, but only me and 1 of my brother managed to go all the way to the waterfall not to say that my uncle cant make it, he is baby sitting my youngest brother. Look at the pathway to the waterfall...


almost a 90 degree climb


its not a clear road for us to just walk like that too

Conclusion : doesn't this make it sound like a HIIT??? steep then level steep then level... and in total the journey was almost 2 1/4 hours !!! from approximately 9.00am to 11.15am

Diet :

0745 - 3 pcs of almonds (woke up late, didnt have time for breakfast)

1130 - pork noodle

1300 - 3 pcs fried yong tau foo

1600 - 4 pcs "tau sar peah" + jolly shandy

Dinner - "lou sang" with secondary school friends later

Went Bukit Gasing for more cardio today...

Used a different route today... went in from the sides (by the play ground) instead of the main entrance, skipped the watch tower and green fence and straight to the hanging bridge and then to the killer stretch... went throught the hanging bridge and the killer stretch 3X today, was walking on a fast pace and jogged abbit and then exit... I was clocked at approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes...

Back to work now... if i finish by evening, might head to gym for some weight training... it has been almost 3 weeks i did not head to the gym i think...

Diet :

0800 - gardenia cream bun

1030 - 100 plus

1100 - mango packet drink

1200 - handful of almonds

1300 - pan mee

Note :

I think i took my breakfast too late and did not have enough time to digest before my cardio... felt bloated and nausea during cardio and thus no appetite for breakfast later, ended up taking more liquid and glucose from packet drinks

The earth was pretty wet and slippery... I still haven't gotten myself a pair of proper shoes...

Hurray to myself i finally can go in the hill alone without any company

During my jog in gasing hill, an uncle asked if i am training for genting's run... do i look like i was training ??? i am just enjoying my cardio

Another bro2 had his own bowl of noodle, sapu 3 dumplings, sapu more than 3/4 bowl of the curry and shared the chicken padprika... Look at the pic below!!!
