Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group!\**** Gunung Tapis (1,512m)+ Tiga Beradik (3 Beradik) is a beautiful hike, famous for the mystical views and amazing flora and fauna, which I can say is not necessarily associated with many other hikes in West-Malaysia. With its misty forest vibes, bonsai trees, expansive open views, tranquil summits, one gets to experience a journey that hopefully allows one to experience different amazing views and hopefully other perspectives of nature. You'll get to go through 'Bonsai Camp', 'Lost Valley', what enticing names! Of course, this doesn't come with its challenges, but the challenge will make the views even more satisfying. Do note that while the total distance is \~17km with \~1,700m elevation gain which can sound quite tough, you can do a shorter version of it will allow one to enjoy the view without reaching Puncak 3 Beradik. In addition, we intend to pair it with Panorama Hill at Sungei Lembing, famous for the sea of clouds the next morning. This trip centers around being in Sungai Lembing, where most locals head there to escape the city due to the beautiful nature with peaceful and laidback vibes, while being around an hour from the city of Kuantan. So enjoy being away from the rush of the city (and convenience), and just being out and about in Nature in a more relaxing and tranquil environment. This is a hike that isn't that well-known or run as a regular trip, and will need advanced planning so do sign up early! Also, there is a 1h 4WD to start the trip. **Who is this for?** **=>** People who have done/can do full day hikes (e.g. Ophir) and wish to enjoy views while hiking =>Wish to experience a sunrise hike => See amazing flora and fauna! => Experience a different part of Malaysia (e.g. Kuantan side) => Enjoy a more laid-back environment away from the city => Maximisers who wish to do multiple peaks/hikes on a trip 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 \~17km and total elevation gain is \~1700+.The hike is around 10-12 in total, depending on your speed.*** There will be a 1.5h 4WD journey also. The hike intensity will be similar to Ophir Asahan or slightly longer. With a lack of sleep, it can and will be tiring on your mind, body and legs. However, there can be a shorter trip (u-turn earlier) but we'll aim to have everyone complete both peaks if possible! It is generally tropical forest trail, with vegetation more similar to those at the higher altitude (1,500m). The trail is likely more raw, as not many people hike this regularly. Do expect it to be muddy, and narrow! **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 6pm.** **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)** \~6.00 pm : Meet @ Marsiling MRT, depart 6.00pm - 12am: Dinner/Supper along the way (Saturday) 2:00am: Reach Sungai Lembing meeting point, take 4WD to start point. 4:00am: Gather at start point, start hike to Gunung Tapis. 7.00am: Reach Gunung Tapis summit (1,512m), enjoy sunrise! 12.00pm: Gunung Tiga Beradik (1,397m) 5.00pm: Exit, take 4WD back to Sungai Lembing 7.00pm: Gather and travel to accom in Sungai Lembing (Sunday) Sunrise hike to Panorama Hill for those who have the legs! Others can sleep in. We'll likely depart before lunch and have lunch at Kuantan, R&R abit before heading back to Singapore. Trek leader will decide Sunday itinerary. ***Itinerary is subject to changes based on conditions and group speed and trek leader's discretion*** **Price: 280 SGD** Price includes: 2-ways Transport All associated Park Permits/ Fees All associated transport for the hike LMT Trek Leader Local Hiking Guides Shared Accommodation (2 to 1 room) Price excludes: All Personal expenses/Meals Room upgrades 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/)

Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand.

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime.

A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE STARTING AT 6:30, WHICH IS THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER THAN USUAL. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. 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 **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
