Final training for the coming Mount KK trip.

29th June, Sunday - My final stamina & strength training to be prepared for the coming Mount KK climbing expedition. I went to TTDI hill again. I chose the easier route for the last training, that's because I do not want to over stress my legs to prepare for the tough mountain climbing in KK.

This time we are not walk but we RUN.


After 5km run.


Do some sit-up.

YES. WE ARE WELL PREPARED.

Jogging at FRIM

22, June - Sunday. Today, I went to FRIM jogging alone. The FRIM (Forestry Research Institute Malaysia) is located at between Kepong & Selayang which very near to Selayang Mall. It is just 10 minutes from my house by driving a car. But it is very expensive if you park your car inside the FRIM. It cost you RM5.00 per entry. For those regular comers, you can actually sign up for annual entry with a cheaper rate to enter the FRIM.

This place is nice for jogging, forestry research, couple dating, family activities such as picnic and cycling around. It is very big, I think I just explore about 60% on it. The rest, I use my car to explore.

Inside the FRIM, it just like a small village include all the facilities just as school, houses, research centre, auditorium, club house, mosque, nursery, offices, library and so forth.

I was jogged for around 2 km, and I found that there was no ending.


Staying in the FRIM may get a better health.

Forestry Research Base


There are thousand of species of trees.


Inside is The Malay Tea House. I don't know what tea house meant for. It is cafe? house that processing tea? No idea. It closed.


Old age houses.


Nice place for couple.


There have a football field and exercise tool as well.


This is called "Malacca House" for tourism purpose.


Oh, my god. The water came from drainage.



Here is the cleaner water came from little cascade.


Family picnic at the waterfall.


Nice place to learn Qi.


In conclusion, the FRIM is too big to visit. Maybe I miss out some interesting places. I have took 2 hour plus inside here. I will explore another round in more details next time.

Training @ Batu Caves

15th June, Sunday. As usual, I went for exercise and train my strength and stamina towards my upcoming Mt. KK expedition. My KK's companion was not free, therefore I go for my own. At first, I'd planned to go to Bkt. Melawati.. mm.. that's abit tough. Then, suddenly Batu Caves came into my mind. Okay, since I have never visit Batu Caves in my life and now is time to discover while jog at there.

Batu Caves is located nearby Kepong and Setapak but it is considered as Selangor territorial. The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is the focal point of the annual Thaipusam festival.

There have a lot of pigeons in the center of the Batu Caves. There have peoples are feeding it.

This big statue was built recently. I believe around in 2006. It standing at 42.7 meter high.

There have total 272 steps of staircase and it takes me about average 4 minutes to reach at the top. This is much easier than what I expected. Therefore I go for 2 round.

Seem like I getting tired after the 2nd round of climbing.

Further inside the cave, there is about another 100 meter distance to the end.

Guess what? I taken this photo 90 degree from bottom to the top.


Towards to the end of the cave, there is another short staircase. The length of the staircase is shorter. My feet size of 9 is not able to fit the step.

Small temple at the end of the cave.


9.00am - Is time for going to breakfast. Bye bye.
