This is the first sporting activity for Wo-Men in the new lunar year – the Hike to 84 of Penang Hill. Since this is a gruelling expedition, it was decided that each region only sent in their fittest brother to participate. Hence we have Turkey representing brothers residing in Penang, HongSoTatt representing brothers residing in KL and Ham representing brothers residing outside Malaysia.
We took the picture with the Chung Ling school logo marked on the stones to commemorate this important event.
One amazing thing that Ham and I found out was the popularity of Turkey among Penangites. He seemed to know every other man/woman we met on our way up and down. Ham and I only met and knew one Andrew Fong throughout our 2 hours expedition.
It was an extremely close race until we reached marker number 18. This was when Ham and HongSo pulled away from the rest (I mean the one) – the evidence is available in this post. Perhaps it's difficult for you to figure out where Turkey was in the picture....as it is really tiny.
At the end, Ham and HongSo registered a photo finish at the 84 marker with 46min 35.25sec. Turkey, at 75kg, was at the distant third with 1 hour 47min 46.21sec. All the brothers were rewarded with great Kopi O Kau, Chinese Tea and Roti Tiao at the finishing line.
The Penang contingent vowed to send in more competitive brother for the race next year. Rumours have it that in the last training session among the Penang based brothers, Lau Ee and Prince vomited even before reaching marker 43; and Ah Pong could not even lift his leg over the bar at the guard house.
Hopefully, we really have a fit brother in Penang.

Aiya, the other 2 brothers 'phua chao' one. Never have chance to warm up. furthermore, as a host, i have to let them 300m. By the way, it was a very healty activity and penang brothers should participate more often in hiking a 'real mountain'
Where got. Ham and I always indulged in healthy hiking hence our super stamina.
