Saga Hill & Everest Base Camp

X-P-D-C mendaki bukit.... did-NOT-accomplish! in other word "FAILED!"

cause i'm not a hiker, i'm not a trekker, not even a gym person... so berangan jela..
anyway, Saga Hill is located in Ampang. organized by MIA sports club - my sister works there. and she told me that this is a monthly event for "the biggest loser".. ironic, the 6 person including me are small size person. hmmm

the trails... I can say it was super duper damn not easy. it's a long journey to the peak, of course it's steep... and I didn't get to the 'finish line'. "pancit!" so, me and aini stayed in the hut in the middle of the jungle, start gossiping... huh!
