[Hiking Series] M'sia - Ophir (1,276m) via Asahan: Challenging full day hike!
[Hiking Series] M'sia - Ophir (1,276m) via Asahan: Challenging full day hike!
**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or +65 8884 2635! We have limited permits and must be applied in advance. Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Ledang, or commonly known as Mount Ophir (1,276m) is the highest mountain in Johor and almost the most climbed mountain there. This is a good step-up hike for those who are looking to progress to tougher hikes after Gunung Datuk or are training or preparing for Kinabalu/Nepal etc. There are 2 main trails for Mount Ophir, the more popular and accessible "Sagil", and the "Asahan Trail". For this trip, we are looking to do the Asahan Trail, which is harder than the Sagil hike. There is also a cut-off timing to the summit/CP which we'll enforce more strictly compared to Sagil. **Who is this for?** => People who wish to challenge themselves => Have done Ophir before but never done the Asahan Trail => Wish to do a tough full day hike It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as training for other treks, like Kinabalu, or Nepal. Do note that we are looking to descend by around 6pm, so we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group! ***How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?*** It is harder and longer than the Sagil hike. The trek is around 5+h up and 3-4h down, making it a total of 9h to 10h, depending on your speed. The total elevation is \~1300m up and down. It can and will be extremely tiring on your legs. The distance is can be a total of 14-16km in total! It is generally tropical forest trail, with some rope portions, ladders and rock faces. It can be quite fun to go through the different terrain with the need to use your hands at some points. However, if you have done Gunung Datuk before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise. The tough part is only the duration. This is good for people who have some level of fitness and hiking experience. As this can be quite a challenging route, the group pace will be quite fast and we'll push at a certain speed. There is a 1 guide to 7 hikers ratio. **There is also a cut-off timing to the summit/CP which we'll enforce more strictly compared to Sagil. If you fail to make it you will have to turn back unfortunately, as the distance is long. We aim to descend latest by 6pm.** How many pax? Minimum 12 to start the trip! Estimated Itinerary: (Saturday) \~12.00 am : Meet @ Marsiling MRT 12.30am โ€“ 4am : Transport to Gunung Ledang via Tangkak 5.00 am : Breakfast at Tangkak 6.30am : Tangkak โ€“ Gunung Ledang National Park 7.00 am : Arrival @ National Park counter โ€“ Registration & Tagging items (checking in) 8.00 am : Start climbing to the top 12.00 pm : Arrive at the peak 1.00 pm : Descend back to the base 5.30 pm : Arrive at the park, clear the items and wash up. 6.00 pm : Leave. 6.00 pm โ€“ 11.30pm : Dinner at Tangkak and head to Singapore ***Itinerary is subject to changes based on conditions and group speed and trek leader's discretion*** Price: 165SGD 150 SGD (Malaysian) Price includes: 2-ways Transport Mountain Guide All associated Park Permits/ Fees Mountain Insurance by the Park LMT Trip Leader Price excludes: All Personal expenses/Meals Travel Insurance Visa Application (if any) Porter This event is organized by LITTLE MONSTERS TRAVEL PTE LTD Travel Agent Licence No: 03117 Contact : +65 88842635 Email: info@littlemonsterstravel.net Some additional questions: 1. How long is the ride to Mount Ophir A: It takes only around 3-4h from Singapore 2. The journey to Ophir only takes 3 hours, why do we set off so early? A: This is so that we can save money on accommodation/driver cost/taxi to MRT station. This also means there is a lack of sleep, so try to sleep in the vehicle! Bring a travel pillow! 3. Are there shower or toilet facilities at the park? A: Yes there are but basic. Expect using a hose/bucket. Also we'll most likely drop by a R&R. Please bring a change of clothes and shower when you are down from Ophir. No smelly people in the vehicle! 4. What do I have to look out for? A: There are mosquitoes and leeches sometimes, depends on the weather. 5. Where is dinner? We would have dinner in Tangkak at a cheap and nice chinese restaurant, if there are dietary concerns there are other options around the area also.
"Madonna in a Fur Coat" by Sabahattin Ali
"Madonna in a Fur Coat" by Sabahattin Ali
\* Please note the change in venue. !Beware of scams & false impersonation! We do not feature new authors or charge a speaker fee but wish you the best. Country: Turkey Written in: 1943 Pages: 192 Still unheard of by many English readers, Madonna in a Fur Coat is long considered to be among the country's top literature in Turkey. Thanks to social media reviews on YouTube and TikTok (BookTok!), it's seen a recent resurgence in popularity. So after you read the book you should be able to find some extra content to feed you before the discussion! Here's a review from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.sg/Madonna-Fur-Coat-Sabahattin-Ali/dp/0241293855) Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali is a quiet, deeply moving novel that lingers long after you finish reading. The story tells us about Raif Efendi, a man whose past reveals a deep, life-changing love in 1920s Berlin. Through his colleagueโ€™s eyes, one can see how people are easily misunderstood. Raif Efendi comes across as unremarkable and distant at first. As the story unfolds, you see the depth of his character. His time in 1920s Berlin, and his connection with Maria Puder form the heart of the story. Alongside him is the unnamed narrator, his colleague and friend, who becomes an important aspect in how we understand and see Raif. At first, the narrator thinks of Raif the same way everyone does, but later his perception shifts. This change adds another layer to the story, making the readers more curious about Raif. The portrayal of love makes the book stand out. It shows how two people can feel deeply for each other and still not be destined to be together. There is no clear reason to blame, which makes the story feel even more real. Raifโ€™s journey feels both heartbreaking and enduring, as he carries his past quietly into the rest of his life. This is a story about love, loss, and the silent weight people carry. \*\*\*\*\* **New to the Hungry Hundred Book Club?** Here's what you need to know: 1. Read the book (If you don't manage to finish it by the meetup date, don't worry. As long as you're not going to be too disappointed by spoilers, you're still welcome to join.) 2. Come to the meeting, usually (but not always!) on the last Sunday of every month. 3. Be prepared to order food/drink at the venue to show our appreciation for letting us use their space. This is a requirement. A lot of time and effort has been put into finding a place that will accommodate our group without an outrageous minimum charge or rental fee, and you'll never be asked to contribute to organiser fees, so please show your respect and support for the restaurant that's letting us use their space. 4. Discuss! It's a casual conversation, so don't be afraid to ask questions and let us know what you think. 5. Starting in May 2026, attendance fees collected will be split 50% towards Meetup platform fees, and 50% donated to the Singapore Book Council (or other Singapore based charitable organisation). Once Meetup platform fees are covered, 100% will be given to charity.

Bad Girls Book Club May 2026
Bad Girls Book Club May 2026
**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This monthโ€™s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on womenโ€™s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosniaโ€”until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legendโ€”the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*

Drunken Philosophy: Whatโ€™s up with all the AI hate?
Drunken Philosophy: Whatโ€™s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
