Hiking and I

I spent the Saturday morning with our good friends, Kiran and Ivy, hiking up Gasing Hill. Indeed it was a refreshingly painful hike, which left me gasping for air and thirsting for water almost at the peak. Putting my scientific knowledge to good use, I turned to the plants for oxygen!! haha!!!

It's been some time since I last hiked. And this was my first time at Gasing Hill. I enjoy hiking, more so the feeling when I reach the peak. Love the cool breeze of the morning. S, a season hiker, told me that hiking up Gasing Hill burns 1000kcal per trip. If this is true, I'd rather hike than run on the threadmill. I'd lose more calories hiking.

So after a good tiring hike, 4 of us treated ourselves to breakfast - yummy thosai garing and a piece of fried chicken wing. hehe. Talking about losing calories. I just put on another 500 after that :) Anyhow, it's good to be out there with nature again. I am waiting in anticipation for my body to ache now..... I hope it will take pity on me and be merciful.....
