Mohd Farish Haikal



Nama yang sungguh indah.

Ni lah anak buah saya. Anak kepada adik bawah aku… Nurul Hafinas. Just born last 2 weeks on 22nd October 2011 while I was away to Irau. Sekarang altogether dah ade 6 orang nak buah… 4 pompuan & 2 lelaki. Upcoming… Insyallah.

Alhamdulillah. for this two months, nampak nye rumah aku akan sentiasa dihiburkan dengan lagu yang paling merdu setiap malam. Walaupun, aunty nye tak pernah dengar apa-apa pun sebab tidur kusyuk sangat… hehehe.




Si cute Farish... hari-hari ku begitu indah kini

Irau...tHe Magical Mountain



7.30 a.m,
Sunday, October 16th
Gunung Irau
Brinchang, Cameron Highland



Plan nak pergi Irau ni actually dah lama benar, aku rase before nak puasa hari tu lagi tapi biase lah plan jer yang gempaq tapi nak make sure everyone is available is really tough job. Last-last, after week by week emailing, we decided to make it happened last weekend, although, it was only seven persons could make it. Yelah aku rase kalau nak make sure everyone is available… ntah bila tahun agak nye. This time, without other GGK member, introducing our new members, Farah n Nir… I salute both of you for a really strong stamina without any training before.

A day before, we promised to meet up with our cute guide, Janggut atau nama sebenar nye Shahril. Since Uteh tak dapat jadi guide, so. dia pass it on the responsibility to Janggut to take over. Tak pernah kenal pakcik ni pun tapi we did communicate thru call n sms. As promised, we met at Restoran Ikan Bakar, Brinchang town. Ingatkan sorang rupa nye berteman with Borgon (not sure the real name of this uncle, aku rase sampai ke sudah aku tak tau nama sebenar dia). Started with Ice breaking, then…our plan for tomorrow and lastly Q&A session. Initial plan to meet up with him nak discuss pasal Irau aje lah but turned out termasuk juga citer pasal gunung-gunung lain di Malaysia. So, layan jelah. After about half n hour chit-chatting, kita orang pun minta diri sebab banyak benda nak prepare for tomorrow. Yelah nak packing lagi, nak masak nasi goreng bagai n blah blah blah. Rasanya, esok ajelah kita kenal lebih rapat yea.

Esok nye, we met with our guides, Janggut and Borgon in front of masjid Brinchang which was just opposite the Petronas. By the time we arrived, it was already 7.10 a.m, 10 minutes behind our schedule. Luckily 4WD masih tak sampai lagi, so, kelewatan kami takde lah terasa sangat kan. Ingat kan our guides only tapi Uteh yang pada mula nye kata tak dapat join pun ade juga and his not alone, siap bawa a few ORL geng lagi. Aku tak kenal pun. Rupa-rupa nye dia baru je habis activity Gopeng-cameron dia so sempat lah nak singgah kat Brinchang kejap before return back to KL. Nak make sure Cik Nurul & the geng are well organized by their team members. Bagus betullah si Uteh ni siap hantar kami sampai ke kaki Irau lagi.


Our shoes... still clean & clear before trekking to Irau

4WD sampai around 7.20 a.m macam tu, 20 minutes late than the scheduled time. So, sampai-sampai je kami trus gerak ke Kaki Irau menyelusuri ladang teh yang Indah. Kata Janggut kalau nak tengok Ladang Teh yang cantik kena naik dari Brinchang sebab nanti kita memang akan pass thru Ladang Teh masa nak turun. Tapi kalau naik dari Brinchang memang impossible lah nak buat day trip hiking. Paling minimum pun kena overnight. Lagi lah kami gadis-gadis yang ayu ni, agak-agak nye one night pun tak cukup… hehehe. Aku rase aku dah cuba nak cepat kan masa aku masa mendaki but Irau was different... so irresistable… I could not miss every single angle. Believe me, rugi tak bawa camera.



View on the way to Kaki Irau


We reached at the starting point or more precisely foot of Irau around 7.45 a.m. It took about 20 minutes from the Brinchang town to get here. You have an option whether to drive your own car or 4WD to the starting point. But, we’re not advised to drive our own car because of the road was too steep and rough. So, we decided to hire the 4WD at a cost of RM300 which can fit in 12 people at one time… luckily Uteh provided us with STORM, mati-mati aku ingat dia nak suruh naik 4WD yang angkut sayur which can be easily seen around Brinchang town.



STORM brought us to Kaki Irau

As we arrived, we warmed-up for a while and just then, started our hiking. The very beginning of the hiking, you will pass thru a very long wooden walkaway. This walk will take about 10min before you reach the real trekking. So, officially we started our trekking around 8 a.m. And now, the real hiking to Mount Irau is begun. By that time, I already too excited seeing so many mosses already covered-up most of the trees around the walkaway. Subhanallah, cantik sungguh. Gambar pun tak dapat nak menggambarkan betapa cantiknya ciptaan Allah ini.

1.55km more to go
 
Have you ever wondered why we step at the side?

We're almost there

The butterfly resembled the mosses


Zoom-in... Subhanallah, so amazing

So many roots you have to pass thru

Almost everywhere you could see beautiful view


The trees are covered with mosses


Another 0.95km to peak of Irau

This is not beginning anymore


Kami yang maintain


Awesome


About 3 hours trekking, we reached at Anak Irau. Opps… this is only the half way. Kalau ikut initial schedule we’re supposed to reach at 11.30 a.m but maybe due to phorography session, we reached at 12.30 p.m, one hour late from the scheduled time. We rested about half and hour like that while enjoying nasi goreng kampong. There’s nothing you could see from Anak Irau since the view was blocked by the trees. Suddenly, out of nowhere, ade sorang mamat ni tiba-tiba keluar dari semak. Dari cara dia bercakap nampak sangat dia ni berlari-lari kot masa nak naik tadi… dalam termengah-mengah tu dia citer yang dia dah sesat mula2 tadi sebab ternaik Gunung Brinchang dulu. Lepas tu dia rase macan dah salah naik dia turun balik and naik balik jalan yang betul ke Irau. Fuhh... giler kaki gunung. Kalau aku lah... memang tak naik lagi dah... next time ajelah jawab nye yea. I was told by Borgon, this mamat group was OGKL... He just assumed by just looking at their character. After a few minutes, another one guy came and later followed by the other one. Althogether, they were three of them. Giler... naik tak saing. I was just imagined lah if anything happened to one of them, how they manage to help each other. Emmhh... maybe dah biasa kot... suddenly aku teringat citer 172 hours...hahaha.


Already halfway... Mini Irau or Anak Irau


Mini Irau

Forget about them, after our short lunch, we proceed our hiking to puncak Irau. That time already 1.30pm. The trip from the Anak Irau to the peak actaually can be made within half an hour but biasa lah... I couldn't resist to stop and taking pictures. There ara so many magical things not to be missed. But, I swear to myself the return trip will be no more photoshoot because we will shoot straight away decend without stop... hopefully.

Kat atas pokok ni


Awesome

We reached at the Irau peak around 2.30 p.m. Continue makan-makan lagi but this time no more nasi goreng... maggi pama plak... Layann. Sempat juga secawan kopi radix panas. Thanks to guide yang bawa semua kelengkapan dapur... tak sia-sia kami hire korang... hehehe. Kalau ikut kan jadual we’re supposed to reach peak at 1.30p.m but this we’re really behind the schedule. That time, aku memang dah dapat agak we cannot finish at 4.30p.m. Takpe lah yang penting, we have guides to guide all of us on the way back. Masa kami sampai tu, the 3 mamat yang kami jumpa kat kaki Irau tu dah buat2 tido kekenyangan kat atas tu. Nak tunjuk sampai awal lah tu. Masa kita orang sibuk-sibuk amik gambo, pandai lah plak bangun nak amik gambo juga. Last-last kena amik our group photo dulu... hehehe.



Congratulation ladies

After trekking... please compare

 
We started decending at 3.00 pm. And we need to be fast or else we had to walk in the dark. That time dah agak mendung skit. So, we pack everything and started to decend. Masa tu aku agak ke depan juga lah saing with Janggut & Farah but emmhhh... janji tinggal janji... aku terpukau kat satu view yang sangat awesome. Macam dalam citer Avatar pun ade juga lah... tak boleh miss ni. Kena tinggal pun takpelah but fo sure still ade Borgon and the rest kat belakang. This time we decending together back to Kaki Irau. Memang sangat mencabar jalan nak balik ni sebab hujan dah mula turun after we passed thru anak Irau. We had no choice other than to wear it our raincoat to cover up our valuable camera n handphones since the rain is getting heavy. And this time, takde masa dah nak fikir pasal selut dah... semua main harung jer. Actually, masa kita orang kat puncak Irau tu, kt bawah dah start hujan dah sbb kita orang perasan byk sgt lopak air macam baru jer ade. This time you need to be more extra care since the roots were slippery, so, you need to hold something to be more stable.

View of Banjaran Titiwangsa... very awesome

Fanstastic view on the way to the Irau's peak


Alhamdulillah, we arrived at kaki Irau around 6.30 pm…2 hours late than our schedule. Janggut and Farah dah sampai 20 minutes earlier. Sampai2 jer aku baru prasan yg janggut ni baru nak call Abang 4WD kami. Masa tu aku fikir abang tu dah gerak rupa nye… dia tunggu call dari kami. So, boleh bayang kan masa tu dia dari tanah rata baru nak gerak… lepas tu dia cakap ada tanah runtuh pulak on the way nak ke Brinchang. Aku budget kena bermalam dulu lah kat kaki gunung ni sebelum turun bawah. Bayang kan lah tengah hujan dengan suhu yg mencecah aku rase 10 deg C juga lah masa tu and kami Cuma pakai rain coat duduk dibawah shelter yang Janggut & Borgon buat utk kami berteduh sementara tunggu 4WD. Adalah dalam sejam setengah juga kami tunggu… fuhh. Memang betul2 mencabar lah, I never experienced before. Sungguh aku tak menyesal…



Nak balik dah

View after just after the rain


Just like the magical world in Avatar

On the way back to brinchang, I choose to stay inside the 4WD because that time seriously aku dah sampai tahap sejuk giler. Since not everyone can stay inside so, first come first serve lah. The rest you have to stay outside. About 20 minutes macam tu, we reached Pekan Brinchang. Luckily there’s nearby Masjid where we can clean up the mess before back to KL. Still have time to take shower. Around 9.30 p.m, after short closing ceremony by our guides… we headed back to KL through Simpang Pulai since not advisable to take Tapah if travelling late night. Thanks to Janggut for voluntarily offering to drive my Car until Simpang Pulai before before exit to Plus Highway. I was thinking that... Sempat lah aku nak rest sekejap... last2 kena teman kan dia borak2 until Simpang Pulai.

Alhamdulillah we’ve conqured Irau, thanks to our guides & Congratulations to everyone.

QUEEN of KaKiGYm


7 October 2011
KakiGym Community Fitness
Kajang



Last Friday Night, kakigym tempat aku ade organizing Ladies Night. As usual, untuk ladies member jer lah. That night, there were 3 routines you need to do in order to be the winner… and between that, all the three routines must be done continuously. So, here timing is the concerned. The fastest the best lah. The routines which you need to do… first is the body step which you need to do 100X on the step board. After that, you have to continue your next challenge, lifting the very big tyre (about lorry contena size)… which you need to do 10X. I think the tyre weight is about 30kg juga lah…. Fuhh. And the last challenge, is to do the burpee 15X.

Alhamdulillah, I managed to complete all the three routines with the fastest time… hehehe. And the reward… I was entitled "Queen of Kakigym". Poyo giler title ni wei.



Queen of Kakigym




Anyway, majulah sukan untuk Negara.

You still have a chance

4 days ago… I was frustrated because the registration for Nike We Run KL 10K is full. Fuhh…within two and half day already full. That was online registration but manual registration at any outlet Nike pun full juga. Macam goreng pisang panas dahhh. But, I guaranteed that the ultimate reason for this Nike Run was the attraction of getting the free original Nike t-shirt (expensive if you had to buy) and also the very affordable registration fees. RM35 per person but if you register in with your friend you will need to pay only RM 40 (so, each person need to spend RM20 for the fee), very save. I guest not all the person who registered for the run will join the run… most likely because of the Nike t-shirt. Why I was so sure about this because most of my friends also ask someone to register for them for the same reason and of cos they never thought of joining the Run.



Last 2 days ago, on the way to the office while listening to radio, I heard that Hot FM is having CABARAN RUN BUDDY RUN NIKE+. Sepantas kilat, I was thinking about Nike Run.
So, don’t be upset. We still have a chance my dear friend. If you’re lucky, you will get a chance to choose any of your favorite DJ Hot FM as your running partner and the winner will get RM3,000 cash + Kit Larian NIKE. And for those whose not successful you still can get NIKE race kit.
Haa… apa lagi jom kita ramai2 join. All you need to do is to fill up the form and create your most interesting and creative slogan to win the selection to the next stage. Come on… we still have a chance until 21st October.

Just click below to enter the CABARAN RUN BUDDY RUN NIKE+:

ALL THE BEST

Adidas... King of the Road 2011


2nd October 2011

Sunway Pyramid


Adidas King Of The Road 2011… Unexpected event I joined last weekend.

Actually, I really wanted to join this Adidas run pun but since lambat sikit je pun register… dah full… emmhhh… a bit frusturated juga masa tu. Last minute dapat plak orang offer dia punye race kit kan. Thanks Boboi for offering kakak ipar ko punye race kit. I appreciate that and thank you so much. Honestly, I never prepared anything physically for this event… a day before jer lah baru gi gym lari kt treadmill nak built stamina.

I was decided to join this run after thinking of spending my weekend. Dari tak buat apa2 lebih baik aku pergi membakar lemak kan. So, bukan nye sebab saya termakan racun yea saya ter join… hehehe.

I arrived at the start off point just on time before the flag off for the 10 km run. Tak sempat nak bergossip pun with Thirah n Boboi. Anyway, thanks to orang yang willing to send and pick me up… I just need to walk less than a minute from your drop off point to the starting point.

I’m not sure about my timing… forgot to look at the final timing display... cos I was too excited finishing the run. But based on my own count it was 1 hour 15mins. Kira OK lah tu.

At the end of the run, you will get the 10 km medal (only if you finish the run), banana and a mineral water, not much but better than nothing right. Also, sponsored Milo drinks and Nestle Fitness.

To Boboi, Thirah and also for those who have finished the run as I did regardless 16 or 10 km, congratulations and keep it up.

Next after this… let’s hit the Nike We Run KL 10Km.
