**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or +65 8884 2635! Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Berembun Jelebu (1,014m) is an interesting hike with the chance of visiting a WWII plane crash site, while hiking through a dense rainforest with waterfalls and streams, and fallen trees. There are many "Gunung Berembun" but this is the one located in Negiri Sembilan! We will be doing the classic route via Kampung Pantai. It is considered a full day hike, slightly shorter than Ophir. This is usually used as a training hike, and exposure to different elements and exploring a more raw trail, rather than a hike for the view itself. **Who is this for?** * It is most suitable for those who just want an interesting full-day hike out similar to Ophir, but less curated than the usual ones. * It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as general training for hikes. * Wish to experience a more raw rainforest trail with less crowds, and different elements * Wish to do a full-day hike nearby without travelling so far * Wish to see a WWII plane crash site and wreckage * Not for those who are hunting for a beautiful viewpoint at the summit **How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?** Duration: \~5h up, and 4h down. You can u-turn at the summit instead of going to the crash site. Distance: \~7km one way, total of 14km. It is generally tropical forest trail, with some river, rope portions. However, if you have done other Malaysia hikes before like Gunung Datuk/Lambak/Ophir before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise, except it is more raw. With the presence of streams, please do expect leeches! To confirm, do RSVP and send me a whatsapp message! A Whatsapp group will be set up. Do make sure you're in the WA group if you're going. A minimum of **12 pax** is needed for this trip to go ahead. **Estimated Itinerary: (Saturday)** \~12.00 am : Meet @ Marsiling MRT 4.30 am : Breakfast 6:30 am : Reach Kampung Pantai Baru Trailhead. Start hike. Walk/4WD in for 2km. 10.00 am : Gunung Berembun Summit 11.30 am : WWII Crash Site 12:30 pm : Gunung Berembun Summit (lunch) 4:00 pm : Descend back to trailhead.

HI EVERYONE. The Wolf King has finally returned. And this time… he’s hungry again. After a long disappearance, steps back into the shadows — bringing with him the hunt, the chaos, and the mind games you’ve been missing. New players, veterans, bluffers, quiet killers… all are welcome. Just remember not everyone here is human. ## 🩸 LETTER FROM THE WOLF KING Listen well, fragile villagers. I have been away… but the hunt never stopped. The forest has grown silent, and my pack has thinned. But now, under the rising blood moon, we gather once more. Some of you will stand with me. Most of you will fall. You may think this is a game — but when night comes, you will learn the difference between hunter… and prey. Come. Sit at my table. Let me see if you survive the night. Sincerely, Wolf King Details: New Players, can come earlier! (from 1pm) Venue: Goodspeed Game Cafe @ Ang Mo Kio Block 710a #02-2625 , (5 mins walk from MRT station) Above 24 hour 思家客Scarlett Supermarket。 **Entry fees : $12/- with 1 can and free flow of snacks !**

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
