First of all, must put this statement. WE WERE TRICKED! Prior to this day, we were told that the Saturday morning's event to bring the Ti-Ratana Children to a Picnic at Bukit Gasing. On Saturday morning, together with Stephanie and the Rotaract Club of KL, went to the Gasing Hills with a bunch of Ti-Ratana children, lo and behold, it ended up as a walk instead of a picnic. :(
As we arrived, the first thing the kids saw before the entrance was....
It has been awhile since I last went for a walk through the forest, I can say that it sure is tiring, 30minute into the place and I was sweating like mad. I don't sweat that much when I'm dancing! After the whole walk, we all proceed to A&W for breakfast/Brunch. Placed some random pictures here.
At the entrance, we also came across a group of Friends of Bukit Gasing handing out forms for the Bukit Gasing Merdeka Green Challenge 2007.
