Tabur east wing~ quite tough!!

Bukit Tabur East wing : A quite tough stone climbing place for us, very steep slopes. Not recommended for people who afraid height.

Have 2 times experience on Tabur west before, & finally manage to conquer Tabur east after researching & read some info from internet. It more difficult than west wing but risky is almost same, just need more care while climbing. Not sure whether is rain the day before, many mosquito at the 1st 30min journey, after that is bee surrounding...scary...

This the 1st view when you almost reach the car park area.

 After parking, go through follow the 2 big pipe , turn right in ,u will see a sign show 'cannot pass without permit', do not obey it, just pass it , this mean you go to the right path.

A good starting point here with 2 big pipe as a guide path~

1st 30min steeping up through jungle terrain, sandy, slippery , many mosquito. After that you can see a rope when reach the rocky, not really u need the rope if u can climb up by holding the rock (more safety).

Coming you can have your 1st view KL view then is the dam nice natural scene.

After the view , we still need keep going to the top on tabur east~ It the most steeping side.

Management Lessons from a 500 rupee note. Worth sharing~

Management Lessons from a 500 rupee note.

Prakash Iyer, Managing Director, Kimberly-Clark Lever and Executive Coach shares two important management lessons he learnt from a 500-rupee note. Read on: -

It happened some years ago but I can recall the evening like it happened just last week. 

I was in an audience listening to a motivational guru. The speaker whipped out his wallet and pulled out a five hundred-rupee note.  Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this five hundred rupee note?"  Lots of hands went up. Including mine. 

A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!"  I began to wonder who the lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered - and I am sure others did too - why he would simply give away five hundred rupees. 

Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five hundred-rupee note from his hand.

"Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone.  "Most of us just wait for good things to happen. That's of no use. You've got to make things happen."  The speaker's words have stayed with me ever since. 'Simply thinking about doing something is of no use'  Our lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We all want the good things.

  But the problem is we don't take action.  We all want the five hundred rupee notes on offer. But we don't make the move. We look at it longingly . Get up, and do something about it. Don't worry about what other people might think. Take action.  Several years later, it was another day, another time. And another motivational guru.  As I watched him pull out a five hundred rupee note and hold it up for all to see, I thought I knew what he was going to do next.

But he just asked a simple question. "How much is this worth?"  "Five Hundred rupees!" the crowd yelled in unison. 

"Right," said the speaker. He then took the note and crumpled it into a ball and asked "How much is it worth now?"  "Five Hundred rupees!" screamed the audience.  He then threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and picked up the note and asked one more time: "And how much is it worth now?"  "Five Hundred rupees!" was the response. 

"I want you to remember this," said the speaker.  "Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the value of the note does not diminish.

All of you should all be like the five hundred rupee note.

In our lives, there will be times when we feel crushed, stamped over, beaten. But never let your self-worth diminish. Just because someone chooses to crush you - that doesn't change your worth one bit! 

Don't allow your self-worth to diminish because someone says something nasty -- or does something dirty -- to you."

Top peak scenary 
2^nd is the walk way, first 20min is consume much stamina. Then coming much stone area, you must becareful & will going slowly because need find every stable step to go up & down. It take 2hours to go up &1 haf hour to go down.

Note : Every step must careful then is not a problem for u all.

Overall, it quite relax when going up because of good view & wind blowing.

Most of the people will go down by the other path way. When u see this green rope, the other path way to go down is from here.

This easy path way is so bored & no wind at all.

Anyway, it a relaxing hiking trip for all.
