While resting at KEM PACAT, we met up with 4 uncles who're super-duper energetic. One of them had nasi lemak for lunch, I wonder will he 搞肚痛 & 噢辣椒屎 after he reach the peak? And another uncle paid tribute to Ah Lee when he saw him wearing Nike sandal, and of cause to Chunny as well.
Energetic uncle: "Walau~ You dare to wear sandal to climb Nuang, very keong. 好嘢！"
Energetic uncle: "Wah~ There's another one!" - Pointing at Chunny.

Yeah!, finally we're up, but how are we go down later?

02:00pm Hooray~ we made it to the peak! We conquered Gunung Nuang, and K.K you are the next! By the time a step our foot on the peak, team A & B were on their way downhill.

03:00pm started to head downhill.
"Gosh~ How to go down wor?"
3:30pm - 5:30pm Yanny runs down the hill, no one could stop him, he just continue runs & runs like a mad cow. 上山没力，落山没 brake.
06:00pm arrived at the waterfall (team A & C) clean our scars & shoes.
06:30pm team C continue their downhill journey, team A decided to wait for their fellow team mate, and team B already arrived at the base.
07:00pm The sun set and the blue sky rapidly turn darker & daker. Most of us didn't brought our torch light. Decided to use our mobile phone - SE K700 & SE K750i. (Nokia stand a side la...)
08:00pm A member of team A sent a SMS to her family member, saying 'finding our way back'. And that triggered the rescue alarm.
09:30pm team C arrived at the base.
10:30pm Policemen, reporters & family members of team A arrived at the same time.
Policemen ask for info, so that they could direct the rescue search team.
11:00pm team D arrived at the base.
This scar has made him forever 刀疤强！Hurrah!!
Karen was exhausted & tired. Feels like fainting, pity her.
11:30pm Rescue search team arrived.
12:00am We offered whatever we could & there's nothing we can do/help. So we decided to leave & back to our home.
02:30am At last, team A arrived at the base, and they're on the major newspaper headlines for the next 2 days.
And that’s all for now, folks. Now you can visualize the extreme toughness of 16 long hours Gunung Nuang marathon expedition.
Congratulation to those who made it to the peak! You are the champion!!
Bravo to those who’s the fastest made it to the base! You rock!!
