Yesterday I went to climb the hill at the back of Taman Tun Fuad Stephen, Bukit Padang… the hill behind the jogging park. I went there with 2 friends. One knows all the hiking trails there… coz he was doing the hill climbing there with his parents since he was still in primary school… and they were going there like almost daily and way early in the morning… something like 5am!!!

I reach at the park’s parking area around 5pm but it was so crowded with cars… even spilled out to the main road… some parked at the road islands at the main road. My friends are also still looking for parking space on another car.

Well this is common in this area they said… parking spaces are not enough and so many people want to jog, climb the hill and eat at the restaurants and stalls. Maybe the relevant authorities should look into this problem. Further more this is a good place… a good park… even has a small water theme park.

Anyway, after we parked, we walk around the park, the same path I took last Sunday for the Borneo Downhill Challenge 2009. But, instead of using the path with steps I took last Sunday, our friend brought us into a small trail… which is more challenging to me coz there is no steps. And it also a bit dark coz it’s really going into the jungle. If you don’t have personal insurance, maybe it’s good to have term life insurance quotes first before doing this hiking… for first timer, I’m sure this is creepy… wild animal, insects, fall…

And I was followed by a bee… one bee… I don’t know why it keeps following me by hovering on my right hand… I really can feel the cold air caused by its wings. I tried my best to chase it away by not shocking it… scared it might sting me if it gets shocked… but it just doesn’t want to go away… I chased it twice… I even talked to the ‘jungle’ to leave me alone coz I just want to pass the area… and I wash my hand with the mineral water I carried and the bee suddenly disappear.

My friends was already far ahead. When I almost caught them, they said… R U OK? U looks so pale… I did not tell them anything, I just said I’m OK. I don’t what to tell them yet coz I don’t want the ‘jungle’ to hear me.

Once we reach the peak where there are many people enjoying the scenery, after getting my breath back, I told them about the incident… they did not say much. We must respect the…

Anyway the view is spectacular from here… this is really a good place to enjoy the sunset. I purposely bring my small camera… and manage to get some snaps 😀
