Puffing UP Bukit Kledang, Menglembu

Work stress and pressure made me consume more than refraining .. ended up so much rounder. And after the ranting out post yesterday, I decided to follow your advice, that is to "chill out" and this took place in Bukit Kledang, Menglembu just this evening...

Weather was inviting at 5pm, no dark clouds looming overhead. Quickly we drove our half hour journey to this famous mountain... Upon reaching, I was quite worried actually cos this hike-up could be very strenuous for me...

the starting point...
going up by steps and coming down by tar road..

along the way, took intervals to catch breath

a long way to go...

girl waiting for old mama...

catching my breath again.. puff... pufffff

aikss... so much more????
after many many minutes..
we finally reached the 1st station!

oopps.. my secret revealed...
my helper, my umbrella..
IT helps me a lot!!
ok, now going downhill another task..
how much calories do you think I lost??
hahahaha...

  21. Hubby wanted me to bring him up this hill as well. Next time we will go. I think I will be huffing and puffing too.

    The drunken chicken, my mum says is very good. Its at the Kum Kee coffee shop at Pasir Pinji. I put a hyperlink there coz in the previous post I put up a pic of the shop. By the way, you ever eaten in Wok with Kim? It's opp the porridge shop in Yang Kalsom, next to the Chinese church. Open at night ah?

  22. merryn: u r very right! going up has its different type of strain.. and coming down different too! :)


    ann: yes, wait till u r more fit to climb up with your kids..
    yes, wok with kim is open at night..

  23. Wow...a really good exercise!!

    When you walk down, is your leg shaking? Walk so many stairs! It's a good exercise for the bums and legs.

    ReplyDelete
  24. hahaha..funny.. the umbrella helps u to climb the stair..hehe... good idea :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Last time, I always go for the tar road. But my conclusion, climbing hill won't lost much weight. It's better to cycle!

    ReplyDelete
  26. annie: not shaking but straining!


    stella: it helps a bit with the weight.. my weight!



    cindy: if sweat a lot.. good for body.. cycling? i dare not.. legs not long enough.. hahaha..

  27. I think I will "die" at the foot of the hill.

    Be careful of your knees when climbing downhill.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Take it easy - don't over-exert yourself. If it comes to hill-climbing, I'm out! I'll just wait at the bottom...

  29. jessie: yes, so far so good.. phew..


    stp: come on.. i lead u up with the help of the umbrella.. hahaha...
