| Jeng jeng jeng...it's back again!!! |
Eeeeeeee….apa
tu kat kepala ko? Kutu ek? Eeeeee…geliiiiii!!! Uwekkkk *confession I used to
have kutu on my hair during my younger years. I remember how Amma used to use
all kind of remedies to get rid of the bug. I’m glad to inform that I’m now
lice free. *insert smiley face
 |
| R U Ready??? |
Now
after suffering such childhood trauma, why would I want to hike up a bukit
called Bukit Kutu? Hurm...good question rite? Well…after jumping off a plane to
skydive and also falling off raft during the last #TSDayOut White Water Rafting why not just cross off another adventurous activity off my list ey? What better
way to do it than with your friends (thank God for them!) along with the safety
of abam-abam bomba sado yang dibawa khas oleh the awesome people of Tourism Selangor!
 |
| Reunion wefie #TSDayOut style! |
As
usual I registered my name and so did my gang. Selepas itu keluar list nama
posse yang terpilih iaitu Devi, Khai, Adam (all three back to back lepas White
Water Rafting and Anis (lama tak nampak batang hidung mek ni so just nice to
catch up!). First obstacle…kena pi to Hulu Selangor on our own…damn…me no car
lor…how liddet? Nasib baik kali ni tag team ngan Devi. I slept over at her
place the nite before so on 6th June, awal-awal pagi buta made our
way to Dataran Kuala Kubu Baru. Since both of us are chatterbox it was just
nice for the long drive while exchanging macam-macam story-mory. Ehem.

| Meeting point sebelum mendaki |
Once
we reached our destination, upon registration we were given the complimentary t
shirt (bright pink yo!) along with a simple breakfast while waiting for the
late comers. After everybody dah mai, we took another short drive to Kampung
Pertak, an Orang Asli resettlement area. Quick stretching session was followed
by safety briefing untuk inform peraturan-peraturan semasa hiking nanti. We
were also provided with our lunch pack to be carried with us sebab atas nanti
tade 7 eleven. Hehe

Ingat pesanan ini
(S)top
(T)hink
(O)bserve
(P)lan! |
 |
| Listening...listening... |
 |
| Tersengih Anis tengok the upcoming path... |
 |
| Tunduk tumpang laluuuuuuuuuuu..... |
 |
| I was ready to crawl wey...tak larat dah. |
Thank
God…I mean thank God for my friends who sanggup slow down so that we could ‘stick’
together and don’t get left behind. *flashback bila Devi cakap ada bawak asam
taik hidung (name according to Adam!) and that heavenly feel while eating that
nose booger….ahhhhh……..hehehe
 |
| Nasib baik ler dapat gang panjat sporting walaupun penat! |
 |
| Masih mampu tersenyum Khai comei! :) |
 |
| Ni pulak pose separuh senget...tsk tsk |
Despite
being annoyed, (at least I know I was) drained and tired we still managed to
make stupid, funny jokes while also encouraging each other to not give up. Sampai
ada gak naik menyampah bila ada yang cakap…‘sikit je lagi tu’… ‘ok ok dah nak
sampai’… ‘almost there’. ARGHHHHHHHH kantoi lar korang ni! Tapi yelar…mana
boleh give up? We made it till the big boulders area and honestly I thought…that
was it. Till I looked up and I saw people still climbing…like WADDEEEEEE….ada
lagi ke? Ko biar betul wey?!!! Ok fine…let get this shite over and done with. Maka
bermulalah another hiking…one more hour was gone. I made it to the peak at
almost 1pm! Mak datuk hang…seriously? 4 jam to hike up this Bukit...hike.me.die!
 |
| R V DER YET? |
 |
| Yeay yeay dah sammmm......oh still got more hiking? Adoiiiiiiiiiiii |
 |
| ....but but but....I thought that was ITTTTTTTTTT!!! NO??? |
We
caught up with the others who I suspect had some secret superpower to ‘out-hike’
us. My gang lepak by the side and I was hungry like a T-Rex. Time to walap the
food. Hmmm…perut lapau punya pasal habis clean nasi dengan kari ayam. Burp.
Lepak kejap lagi and then we climbed little bit more to reach the peak which
was more boulders. I climbed up the tangga but once I hit the first boulder my
legs went jelly. Ok dah…dah cukup. View dari sini pun dah menarik. Memang berbaloi
lar panjat Bukit Kutu ni. Kalau tak confirm aku meroyan kat peak tu!
 |
| Apani? Ada lagik? Uwaaaaaaa.... |
 |
| Ok shaddap Mani....now THIS IS TOTALLY WORTH ITTTTT!!! |
 |
| Tired butterfly resting and 'sipping' sweat off our guide! |
 |
| Since aku dah jelly, aku tolong amek gamba Adam je lak ek. |
 |
| Nevertheless....am so freaking proud for not blacking out! I made it to BUKIT KUTU YEWWWWWWWWW!!! |
 |
| Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! |
After
resting a little bit more it was time to descend…tade shortcut ke? Hewhew…Ok
Mani! You got this! You got this! You got this!...No…I don’t get this! I really
don’t get this! Why am I doing this? Adoiiiiiiiii Amma….can I just slide all
the way down or just sit and wait to be rescued? Uwaaaaaa….penat weyyyyy…geram
weyyy….benci weyyy…apa ni? Apa ni? Why did I agree to do this? I am 36, I should
be watching movie, lepak at home with my kitties, sleeping…all these thoughts
went thru my mind as I couldn’t see the end of the trail!
 |
| Very important to make sure you take your time to ensure your safety. No use rush if you end up hurting yourself. |
 |
| ...silap haribulan....end up 'donate blood' dalam hutan. ERK! |
Also
running thru my mind was…I’m really doing this! I can do this! I will do this!
ARGGGHHH *mode Incredible Hulk without turning green. Then it stated to rain….you
kidding me God? Lantak ko lar. All I want is to make it out alive! The trail was slippery, I slipped
few times and I cursed countless time. I wanted to give up numerous times but I
kept going. Kept pushing. Nasib baik ler Anis’s pace was suitable with mine so
we just pushed ourselves till we finally reached with sungai. Fuh! Nak je aku
terjun dalam air tu but then it was starting to get dark so we just cleaned the
lumpur off our shoes and continued walking.
 |
| ...to keep mind off the pain...I was looking at nature's creations... |
 |
| Daun dalam daun....haaaa....got see before or not? |
 |
| Errr.....yeah... |
Dah
sampai kat parking balik it was almost 7 pm. Budak-budak lain semua tepuk
tangan…aku pulak dah ready nak pitam. Check dulu tengok diri tade luka, no
pacat lintah hitch hike, all clear…fuh! Now here comes the gratifying moment…I CLIMBED
BUKIT KUTU WEYYYYYYYYY!!! ALL OF 3,456 KAKI DARI PARAS LAUT! AMEKKOOOOOO!!!
WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
 |
| Almost Mati Kutu...but we still did it yo! |
 |
| Read it and weep! Hoooooyeahhhhh!!! |
Once
the rest of the ‘victims (hehehe) returned safely, we had the usual best
picture prize giving ceremony. Later on havoc kejap exchange contacts with new
friends, gelak-gelak, pose for own camera and then it was time for farewell.
 |
| Well done everybody!!! |
 |
| Woot! Woot!!! |

even more awesome activity soon. I for once still look forward to what Selangor
