GUNUNG TEBU / MOUNT TEBU - MY FIRST MOUNTAIN
Mount Tebu (3401 feet) is my first mountain, a beautiful mountain that gave a lasting impression on me. I climb Mount Tebu in 1994 in a program organized by my school alumni with cooperation one of Persatuan Mendaki in Terengganu. For me, Mount Tebu is unique that incomparable with other mountain until now. It’s here that I got my first self taught lesson of how to climb a mountain. I was unprepared for rain at campsite that caused some of my clothes got wet, without any side ration (jajan) on the climb drain all my energy before reaching the peak, anyhow perseverance gave my first peak anyway successfully. I climb for second time in 2007, a lot of thing change since my first climb. My previous used water point has disappeared and at some area shrub is getting higher.
