Hiking IS fun...... not!



I went hiking last Saturday morning after receiving an sms late Friday nite. A good friend wanted to try out my fav local hike near Tmn Melawati. Sure, why not I thot, I need the exercise. We started out a bit late and the sun was a-blazing. The hike is a combination of 5 small hills with the 1st being the toughest. As I climbed the 1st one, I looked behind to check on the friend & was pleased that he was keeping up. As we reached the top of the 1st hill, he was rewarded with the sight of the Klang Gates Dam. I remember him saying `Wow, cantiknya` then suddendly he grabbed hold of my arm & said `Saya nak pitam!`. A split second later, he slumped unconscious. I managed to break his fall although he weighs about 10 kg more than me. It was scary coz if he had fainted while on the slopes, he would have fallen to his death. Ouch. He awoke after about 10 seconds and we chatted & rested for an hour under the shade before turning back. He`s only 27. See what all work & no exercise can do to a person ? Brrrr....i`m keeping to my 3 times a week aerobic schedule.
