Last year, I and four of my friends had planned for a trip to hiking Bukit Tabuh

we safely reached the destination. Before we went there, we have prepared foods,
beverages and a variety of clothing and safety equipments.
After ensuring that all our essential items are included in to the car bonnet, we
began the journey to get there. The way to Bukit Tabuh, everyone was singing songs,
the whole car was full of joy. Our journey to that hill took a long time because of traffic
congestion resulting from a car accident with a logging truck and we arrived there after
two hours drive at eleven o’clock.
When we arrived at there, we park the car at safe place then take all necessary
goods and equipments before start our hiking at this hill those only 398 meters height. I
climb slowly compared to my friends because this is the first time I climb here. View
here was beautiful because we can see the flora and fauna, besides hear the sound of
singing animals in the jungle. When one of friend my friend named Mary holding a rope
