[Hardcore Series]M'sia-Gunung Semangkok (1,825m): Crazy 14-18h hike
[Hardcore Series]M'sia-Gunung Semangkok (1,825m): Crazy 14-18h hike
**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or contact +65 8884 2635! Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group!\**** Gunung Semangkok (1,825m) is a mountain bordering Pahang and Selangor but goes through the Pine Tree Trail from Fraser Hill, and is an extremely tough and challenging hike due to the elevation and distance of the hike. It usually takes at least 14-18h, with an elevation of \~2,100 and a distance of \~28km. It is famous/also know for the "Valley of Death", where after the Pine Tree trail summits, it does feel like descending into a bowl before ascending, and returning back the same way. Moreover, this hike is done with a lack of sleep as we have to start early in the morning! The good thing about this hike is that it is generally cooling as it is the Fraser Hill area, do expect it to be cold once the sun sets! Do note that there is an early meeting time for this. So do be mentally and physically prepared for it! Get ready your headlights, spare batteries, expect to get your shoes wet and muddy, and you are also expected to get wet due to chance of rain! This is the toughest of our hardcore series to date, so only serious and experienced hikers! (Picture credit Johnny Yong) **Who is this for?** **=> People who wish to/can challenge themselves (I would say to the point of mental and physical torture)** => People who have done full day hikes (e.g. Ophir) and wish to challenge themselves further => Wish to hike more than 12h and deal with different terrains and undulating terrains, like up and down and up again to test their mental fortitude => Those who wish to experience hiking in the dark...and ending in the dark => Training for tough hikes (high altitude hikes that potentially last >12h) => Generally suited for more experienced hikers who know they can last at least 12h hiking => Test yourself hiking with little/no sleep Do note that we will start and might descend when dark, so please bring headlights and we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group! ***Hike Details*** ***The total distance is \~28km and total elevation gain is \~2100m+.The hike is around 14-18h in total, depending on your speed.*** This will feel like doing at least 2x as long as Ophir Asahan hike. It can and will be extremely tiring on your mind, body and legs. It is generally tropical forest trail, similar to Fraser Hill Twin Peaks Pine Tree Trail hike, with steep section to the Twin Peaks, and lots of up and downhills and going through fallen logs. **There is also a cut-off timings which we'll enforce more strictly. If you fail to make it you will have to turn back unfortunately, as the distance is long. We aim to all be back down by 11pm.** **How many pax for the trip to happen?** Minimum **12 pax** to start the trip! A Whatsapp group will be set up and information sent through there. **Estimated Itinerary:** **(Friday)** \~4.00 pm : Meet @ Marsiling MRT, depart, 4.00pm - 12am: Dinner/Supper along the way (Saturday) 2:00am: Reach Trailhead, prepare for hike 6.00 am: Reach Pine Tree Trail first summit 7.00am: Reach Twin Peak (2nd Summit), rest 9.30am: Sg merah 11.30 am: Gunung Semangkok Summit: Congrats!! Time to u-turn 7.00-9.00pm: Reach back trailhead, exit and wash-up. 11.00 pm++ : Reach accommodation (Rawang) (Sunday) Free and easy, head back to Singapore. ***Itinerary is subject to changes based on conditions and group speed and trek leader's discretion*** **Price: 275 SGD** Price includes: 2-ways Transport All associated Park Permits/ Fees LMT Trek Leader Local Hiking Guides Shared Accommodation (2 to 1 room) Price excludes: All Personal expenses/Meals Travel Insurance Visa Application (if any) This event is organized by LITTLE MONSTERS TRAVEL PTE LTD Travel Agent Licence No: 03117 Contact : +65 88842635 Email: [info@littlemonsterstravel.net](http://info@littlemonsterstravel.net/)

April 2026 - Werewolves are coming!
April 2026 - Werewolves are coming!
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: Date: 04/04/2026 (Saturday) Time: 12pm - 9pm Venue: Goodspeed Cyber 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 free flow of snacks + 1 can of drinks!**

This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
