Knowing the Malaysian weather, you apply your best natural deodorant for the long 4.4km hike. After packing your necessities, you head off to join your coworkers in hopes of catching a jaw-dropping view of the sunrise. You all huff and puff as you cross the suspension bridge and explore the Hindu temple and watchtower along the hike. Finally, you reached the peak and managed to catch the first rays of sunrise.
Did you think the story would end like that? As you raise your arms to take a picture, you get a whiff of a funky smell coming from your underarms. Reality sets in as you look down and see a massive pit stain on your grey sports tee. Your coworkers pull you in for a group picture, and as they pose for the picture, you squat and try as hard as you can to cover your pit stains and funky smell. Maybe what you thought was the best natural deodorant in Malaysia wasn't the best after all.
