Gunung Nuang

Finally,my first ever mountain hiking adventure! We set off from Setapak at 2.30pm and reached the foothill at bout 4pm.

Ok. Here's little introduction on Gunung Nuang :

Gunung Nuang is located in Malaysia with the height of 1493 meter(4898 ft). Its peak marks the meeting point of three Malaysian states;Negeri Sembilan, Pahang dan Selangor
. The mountain itself is the highest point in Selangor and part of the Titiwangsa Mountains.




Group 1

Yeah that's my backpack with 2 shirts, 2 pants, 1 slipper, 1 jacket, 1 towel, 1 torchlight, 1 sleeping bag, 1 pair of stocking, 1 big bottle of 100plus, 1 big bottle of mineral water, 1 small bottle of mineral bottle, 1 toothbrush, 2 gas stove, 1 umbrella, 1 cap, 1 small packet of salt, 2 messtin, plastic bags and some other small little items. Man, it was quite heavy with everything inside and the bag itself weighed quite alot too.


And this was how it looked like when i was doing my packing. Forgive me for all the mess as it was my very first time to go hiking and pack a backpack. =)

The stream was the first obstacle that we had to go through. It was not that bad as it was only at the ankle length. I think i am not going to give a lengthy description on the whole journey as i am not good in decribing things in words. So i will just let the pictures do the story telling then.




And I was one of the two girls that reached the top first. I was soooo so sooo proud of myself for this great achievement. Ok. This might sound ridiculous to you but it meant alot to me. It was something that I persisted to the end. The route was full of obstacles and I managed to overcome all my fears by myself. And not to forget helps from WK. I really want to thank him so much for the push and encouragement he gave. I couldn't decribe those intangible stuffs I gained from him and from myself in words. I know deep inside, I really got to know myself so much better and this expedition really changed me alot in alot of perspectives. It has boost my confidence so much that I was really surprised with the changed me. I am no longer the timid me. I am no longer afraid of dark which i used to be VERY afraid of. Everytime when i feel of giving up, it makes me think of this experiece which will then keep me moving. Far. I love the way i am now!
