There were a bunch of bothering stuffs that waited to be settled, plus there had been quite a long time I didn't exercise a bit, so I asked my buddy to go for hiking in Bukit Jambul. It was a cloudy day, and after a rain the path became so slippery to walk in addition we were in our sanders only.
It was the first time he came here and I suggested him to use another route, a longer one, that I had tried once, descending, not going up. The air in the hill was so refreshing and may be because of the rain, the air was so rejuvenating and cool. The first half of the journey was just like the one that I used to take, lots of direction guide, nailed on trees and there were definitely fewer hikers we met.
Suddenly the path became ambiguous, the soil path was covered with fallen leaves and at some place there were even messy plants making path looked narrower, as if the path was abandoned for long. This route was not a whole up, there were a few times we hiked up and went down hill before the destination. Then we started to feel some tiredness in our legs and I saw the grey sky, this was a usual sign of reaching the hill top.
But it happened to prove me wrong, and it surprised me actually we reached a top but not the one we wanted to reach. I asked every time when in doubt if we want to turn back, but he insisted me to decide, and I couldn't see worries in his face until we reached a steep down hill, it was even challenging with the fallen leaves and moist left by the rain. It was so slippery that we almost slid on our but for a couple of times. then the path became even more ambiguous, where it was almost sheltered by some plants and grasses. However we proceeded anyway.
Then we reached where there were some latex trees and banana trees around, and a wood shelter with a dog underneath. We hesitated a while and I equipped myself with used petrol container, just in case it chased us. Because I thought a dog with a master was usually braver. Then we proceeded with the dog did nothing but staring us passed by.
Then we came across a few junctions where we had to make a decision, and I chose on my instinct. Then the scene was becoming much worrying with the dusk was near and the path seemed like leading into a deep forest. We turned back to take another path at the last junction in haste. And finally, the environment became more familiar to me and thanks god we met some other hikers too and moment later we reached our destination.
What a horrible expirience
