Hiking

Since when I love to hike?

It wasn't listed as my official hobby. In fact, I had hard time to write about my hobby. At one point it was badminton, still a bit. Maybe karaoke, but maybe not suitable as my voice is worse than you. Stamp collecting? Who still send snail mails? Blogging? Not really considered a hobby by World Hobby Organization. Bowling? I like but if it's not played often it's not hobby. Sleeping? nope, I hate sleeping. Eating? Yeah, it's a universal compulsory thing to do so it can't be hobby. 

So hiking is the new hobby. And running is definitely the second hobby.

The first (as far as I can remember) hike or climb was straight to Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Malaysia in 2009.
It was a breeze.

Then plenty of hiking during Summer 2010 while taking classes in university.

Then have been dormant for long. Until last year. During a trip to Taipei, at Yang Ming Shan.   
Magnificent view

And then Bukit Tabur.
Climbing through rocks is actually scary
Then Bukit FRIM with students.

Then this year after joining Malaysian Nature Society had many more opportunities to go places like Telapa Buruk, Tanjung Tuan etc.

Each hike provides different perspective. And recharge your energy with natural power! 
Looking forward the next one!
