Targeting The Grand View

Life Lesson 01 While Paramotoring:

The Hassle for The Grand View

As I pushed aside the struggles and the annoyances I had experienced while doing my best to fit in with the team, I realized that the GRAND view from my Paramotor front seat was worth the hassle. Despite all the negative talk behind my back, the joy of witnessing the best landscape view during sunsets and sunrises overruled the obstacle. A priceless experience and I am glad that I stubbornly decided to stick around.

The mistakes, the nuisance and the inconvenience mature me.

Mong Gajah, Tasik Pedu

I have explored the area around Tasik Pedu for more than enough, and yet this is my first time visiting Mong Gajah, another beautiful part of Tasik Pedu.

Mong Gajah is a place with a gorgeous view of nature. If you prefer sleeping at night, wrapped in total darkness while watching thousands of stars (with no light pollution) and waking up facing the waterfront of Pedu Lake, with gorgeous sunset coming out from the mountain range of Banjaran Kedah-Singgora then you would absolutely love this camping spot.

Hiking Bukit Saga in Cheras

Bukit Saga is located in the middle of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, about 20 km from my Subang Jaya home.

We were looking for a place to do a quick hike before the Ramadhan month started. Since Bukit Saga was the nearest, we decided to give it a try. Expect lots of uphill steps along the trek and please use any hiking app on your phone to guide your way deeper into the jungle as the routes were not properly marked.

I use my Kommot app to guide my way along the trek.

Why do people hike

I am not a mountain trekker.

Yes, I did a ‘day hike’ around Malaysia but I never try mountain trekking. The thought of having to endure pains and aches along the journey to the peak scares me. Why do I want to do that to my beloved self, my inner self voice talked me out each time.
