6.30am dit dit dit dit...........There goes the alarm, time to get up for training
Usually on an uneventful weekend, i normally get up to Batu Caves for some keep in shape and fitness training.
huh............. isn't Batu Caves a temple cave where the hindus do all the body poking stuff at 1 time a year and people go into a trance to give thanks to Lord Murugan.
Yes, yes.............That's the thaipusam festival. I'll post a brief write on Thaipusam later
The 272 steps up to the cave is what i after, how hard can 272 steps be right ? One way ok, Up down 1 round ok, but try challenge yourself and try to do a 5-10 lap of up and down and tell me if you get a workout.
Many people do laps up and down the 272 steps on weekends. Although the place was not intended as a exercise area, the temple priest are generally ok on people doing their walk up and down the stairs
Some unwritten rule that most fitness guys and girl abide by while training here
1. Always give way/priority to devotees performing prayers here. Also forget about helping them up especially children or old folks, its a burden they have to carry by themselves. I've seen people kneel all the way up 272 steps with my own eyes............
2. Observe the no exercise area at cave entrance after the 272 steps
3. Help the temple priest carry stuff up to the temple if you see any, they usually leave bags of it at the start of the 272 steps.
4. Do not feed the monkeys
