More Hiking Photos!

Below are more photos of the same hiking trip that I went on a couple of weeks ago. The photos come from Louis' friend Tony, he is the club manager at Desa Park City (where Louis lived for his 2 month stay in Malaysia), so thank you Tony and Louis!


Louis and Ryan watching the sunrise over Kuala Lumpur

This was taken after we hiked up for about 45 minutes in complete darkness. Amateurs like Ryan used a torch, but Louis and I became one with nature and climb like the rest of the beasts and bugs in the jungle.







After we continued to hike a bit further, the sun came out brighter. This mean't we could see, but it also mean't it was very hot... 












Ryan, Louis and I sitting on top of a hill discussing life. Louis was probably having a go at me for having my phone out while he was trying to immerse fully with nature.







Chinese New Year decorations near the peak.

I have more photos, but I just can't be bothered to go through them and pick them out, so I'll leave it there for now. I should be going back to hike there again, Ryan and I might drag some lousy Loughborough students away from their pints to come do some exercise and see the country.

I nearly forgot! This is what we had for breakfast!
Question (20 Points): Name the dish on the pink plate? 
English characters will do, if you wrote it in Chinese, I wouldn't be able to read it anyway.

My favourite breakfast!

This here is the best and most filling breakfast, all for the price of £1.20, roughly.

Question (10 Points): Can you name the drink I have?

BONUS QUESTION (20 Points): Name the drink I have in Bahasa Melayu?

Your answer must be grammatically correct and fully accurate to obtain these 20 points.

Performing in a shopping mall! *VIDEO*

This is me in a shopping mall performing with the music school I joined! The audio recording is a bit messy and hectic, as is my drumming :( The band and I didn't get to practice before the show, so it was partially improvised! Well the solos are entirely improvised.

Super High Definition Theatre Quality recording is courtesy of Ryan Lee and Louis Yaw.

The car is in one piece!

For those who don't believe that Ryan and I have somehow managed to stay alive on the Malaysian roads, here is proof that the car is in one piece.

It's covered it dust, mud and motorbike parts, but I made the photo black and white, so hopefully you won't see it

Hiking!

I finally managed to go hiking, thanks to Louis Yaw. As it was his last week he managed to convince my fat ass to go hiking with him. What he didn't tell me until the night before was that the bunch of hikers we were joining were planning to see the sunrise...

This lead to much discussion as to whether I would be able to drag the chubby rear end mentioned above out of bed by 4:30 AM, on a public holiday!

I did manage it, as did Ryan, and we did manage to make it up to the top for sunrise at 7 am. I have attached photos to prove it, the difference in light should be sufficient evidence to prove that I made it on time!
