Of all the peaks, we tackled Baegundae; the tallest one standing at 836.5m above sea level. Not so high indeed, I mean even Gunung Datuk in Rembau in my state is slightly higher but being a non-hiker and all, some trails were gruesome enough for me ha ha ..

REVIEW | Colosseum - A NEW Event Space in Glenmarie Shah Alam

It's made out of metal oil drum . And oh yeah, the whole building is also made out of metal containers - the ones that you see on ships for transporting goods across the ocean.  Talk about re-purposing stuff...
