A SUPPER DATE WITH A MOUNTAINEER IN SUBANG JAYA

 

   22nd SEPTEMBER 2025    ~ Someone saw my check in post on Facebook and responded promptly. Eventually, a supper date was set  in SS15 Subang Jaya with Mr. Azim Afif, a student I taught English for his proficiency course in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia [UTM] a long time ago. One interesting thing is that his wife also attended the same English class, and the last time we met was when they came visiting during Eid in 2012 when they were still studying [READ HERE].

The chosen venue was a cafe named The Daily Bakery & Patisserie which was just near the hotel where I was staying.

This cafe looked brand new. Luckily the place would only be closed at 10:00 p.m. so we had about 1 hour to chat over coffee, cakes and pastries. The food and drinks were great and we got a 25% discount on the pastries [and cakes too if I am not mistaken] as the cafe was about to close soon.

The conversation was interesting as the topic was totally different this time. Mr. Azim Afif is an active mountaineer and he was one of the 28 Malaysians who had successfully reached the peak of Mt. Everest. After doing that in 2016, he is still actively involved in mountaineering activities and run a company related to that specific extreme activities Peak Journey Adventure.

One hour was definitely not enough to listen to Mr. Azim's extraordinary experience but we had to leave by 10:00 p.m. I had to thank him for allocating his time for me and hopefully we will get to see each other again to continue our chat.

If you are looking for a company to conduct or supervise any climbing or mountaineering activities, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Azim and you can visit his company website MYPEAKJOURNEY.COM.
