Gunung Nuang June 2008.
Dinesh - organiser of the GN trip.,waving to me. Everything is fine. 
Robin and myself at the car park early in the morning. We'r ready !
Group photo. It was unique that these group , many of them do not know each other including myself.Group 1 = pacesetters team.( orange colour tee , include RIzan and Mona in their white and blue tee)
Group 2 = Alvin & John as a team taking this trip as part of their training to Mt.KK .
Group 3 = Ms.Lee, mum and friend as a team , also going to Mt.KK in august.
Group 4 = Simon
Group 5 = Father and son ( Seow and Sherman ), ( Chak and Robin ).
Fantastic 4, 1st timers to GN. Ms.Lee, her mum, Robin and friend...resting at Kem Pacat.Already big achievement for Robin who has no training , and brave enough to climb.
Accept for Robin, the other members has been training weekly to prepare themselve for Mt.KK.
He is the sweeper, we always has the best team player in town.
Peter the "cool " leader loading his backpack. His backpack contains the "whole kitchen " , wont go hungry with him around. This Tai Kok always take the team up the GN and back safely. Big responsibility. Profile experience : countless time to GN.
1st time Mona (blue) checking bag before being lead by Ms.Chi .
Resting at Kem Lolo..while the rest proceed to GN. A clean place is a nice place., we spend sweeping the floor to get rid of any leeches.
John and Alvin --- this trip especially important to them, as they are climbing Mt.KK in June,2008. As I am writing this, they probably have climbed yesterday and back to KK town today.
Ms.Lee and mum team --- going to Mt.Kk in July. No problem.
Ok , let's deal .......haha ., where's myself.This time , it was a different experience for me.
I set up the "rest" camp at camp Lolo with Mona and Ms.Chi.
By 4pm , I had to decide to get Chak, to lead Robin, Simon, Ms.Lee, mum , friend, Mona and Chi back because it takes 2 hrs to reach the base. It would be more difficult if it gets dark.
I was alone waiting at camp Lolo, my 2 friends (husband and wife) too has packed and moved on.
Resting alone was not a good idea and constant calling to Peter to determine the time he is reaching camp Lolo.
Alvin, John came down followed by the rest of the time., tired and hungry.
The maggie mee , milo and the hot chinese tea was a welcome one to them.
Hurriedly, Peter, albert, we removed the taupualin tent and packed our gear to head for home base... and the time was 6pm.
Anxiety already sank onto me as I knew that we will have to use our torchlights and estimate to reach base at 8-8.30pm.
I got lost trying to find the exit, hallucination ? just a few minutes before Peter has called out and found the exit from Campers spots near Camp Lolo.
We were relieved once we hit the trail., and by the time , we came out of the forest, it was pitch dark.
The team to Mt.KK has got their training, and we enjoy being with them.
Good luck to the Mt KK teams.
Good luck to the Mt KK teams.

Chennai , India - June 2008
Model : Ambassor Classic. The locals told me that India still producing this classic which cost RM50,000 . The roads are bad and these classic cars are best suited to their roads.
Working in Chennai, India.
Travel in an AUTO, a taxi in India.
The roads are occupied with these fast , small 3-wheeler.
I saw this Bus parked at the roadside in front of my hotel and I took many shorts of the famous taxi , locally called AUTO. , to capture to match the meaning on the bus....INCREDible INDIA.Chennai, a historical place in Madras.
