Hiking Benefits

As much as I love hiking, this activity promotes many priceless and valuable benefits than you can imagine. This is what I think you will get when you hike:

1. Enjoy the taste and the sound of nature 3__3
2. Breathe fresh, green air O2 ++
3. Ease eyes with green stuff O__O
4. Enjoy the view of being on top watching over the city O__o
5. Witness insects, animals and plants
6. Increase awareness, alertness & concentration of the mind. =O
7. Exercise - muscle, heart, calorie burner
8. Sweat it out 0__0"
9. Toxins from the body flushed out
10. Spend time with friends & family =)
11. A time spent away from normal lifestyle, eg. work, study, malls
12. Peace of mind 2__2

13. Become more adventurous ;)
14. Sense of achievement

15. Feed the mosquitoes

Behold, these are my hiking experiences in Penang Hill.

We're hiking to 84 via Moon Gate

Wildlife

We then reached to a point of Number 5 after a long walk of up staircase. This is not yet 84.

Gym equipment there

Resting and chatting...

Then we continue our journey ----> to infinity and beyond!

Here we go again ~

Resting point to take picture..Moses-Ruth staff...ahhaha..we were joking that Ruth's people are the monkeys...and Moses-Ruth kept on saying "Let my poeple(monkeys) go!"

We're on our way!

And we did reach to 84, and at that time, it was already 7 pm cuz we start our journey at around 5pm. We used the jeep track as it was getting pretty dark. Quite adventurous hiking in such a time.

Up, up, up we go!

Nice view eh?
More to come...

Just lurve this pic. Saw the rock at my most left? It looks like a facial expression of grumpiness..lol

Body need to recharge..drink 100 PLUS!

As we were walking, suddenly the rain poured down, starting with a drizzle..then slowly, increased to heavy rain and there's only one umbrella!

Uncle Phoon spotted a banana tree and started cutting it's leaves..and the results? -->

This pic is taken when we reached the top, and that is when the rain stopped, easier to take photo.

Lovely couple at an English home. Me likey the background.

Rewind back. During our journey, we met all kinds of insects..

A teeny weeny snail

Dunno what is it called. It's like little stones on top of a vertical-shaped soil. Very interesting.

What's this called? All I know it's in the cacing category.

Leaves-less

Sky vs. Hill
