Jungle Babes in the Bukit Saga – Apek Hill Adventure
When the Jungle Babes made a return trip to Bukit Saga – Apek Hill… About a year ago, the Jungle Babes made our first trip to Bukit Saga – Apek Hill. We had a guide back then because the trail was unfamiliar. It was a challenging hike with some serious inclines – especially from theContinue reading “Jungle Babes in the Bukit Saga – Apek Hill Adventure”
Genting Sempah Road Ride
#fatmanrunning has been pestering me to do a road ride with him since… forever. Although we have ridden together at KL Car Free Mornings, I have been extremely reluctant to migrate to a road with cars. I’m sure you can understand why. Recently, he suggested a ride up Genting Sempah and I said… Yes. What? How didContinue reading “Genting Sempah Road Ride”
Trip Report: Jungle Babes in Melaka
After having done the Big Thrill and Extreme Challenge at Shah Alam, the Jungle Babes felt that it was time to take on the “hardest Skytrex” of the lot – the Melaka Extreme Challenge. With Skytrex Langkawi under my belt, Melaka also meant that I would have completed the Skytrex trifecta. When the Jungle Babes WentContinue reading “Trip Report: Jungle Babes in Melaka”
The Island Extreme at SkyTrex Langkawi
Ever since the Jungle Babes completed all three levels at SkyTrex Shah Alam, we’ve been talking about going to Melaka and Langkawi to complete the circuit.

Because DH isContinue reading “The Island Extreme at SkyTrex Langkawi”
Jungle Babes on Ice
The Jungle Babes have been doing a lot of things that haven’t exactly had anything to do with jungles. The running joke is that we are in a mid-life crisis, but as much as I kid around about it, that is not the truth. So here is what it’s all about: embodying the very principleContinue reading “Jungle Babes on Ice”
Zumba Babes at a Charity Zumbathon
One of our very own Jungle Babes organised a Zumbathon charity event at MyTown Shopping Center in support of those fighting the battle against cancer.

Jungle Babes Take on SkyTrex Extreme
After nailing the Big Thrill at Skytrex Shah Alam, the Jungle Babes decided it was time to up the ante and take on the Extreme Challenge… Skytrex Extreme Challenge These were the obstacles on the extreme challenge that we had to face (some were repeated so it worked out to be about 26 obstacles inContinue reading “Jungle Babes Take on SkyTrex Extreme”
Jungle Babes in the Sky
SkyTrex has been on the “to do” list for some time but due to various reasons, it took us about a year to finally plan our first trip. After much debate and baseless concerns involving comments about diapers, we finally settled for the Big Thrill – the intermediate challenge. Although why all the worry inContinue reading “Jungle Babes in the Sky”
Jungle Babes on the Rocks
Last Sunday, the Jungle Babes went rock climbing. For some of the group, it was their very first time climbing. For me, it was my first time back at Gua Damai in over 10 years. It’s funny how the memories of a place can make you feel. As I pulled up my car into theContinue reading “Jungle Babes on the Rocks”
