Before Mt.StongBunch of reasons I want to hike Mt.Stong:- Travel somewhere far from school, friends and the city environment after the shitty semester- Learn new outdoor sports since im pretty stuck with tennis always- Meet new people around me though i dont really intend to- I never ever been to any schools overseas trip- Inspired by the 5 ladies who hike up to Everest!Well not that many reasons afterall. I was totally excited when i received the email about the expedition. Like totally excited. Before getting the e-mail my friends chio me to go KL for school trip. Yea i want it! But we are kinda late to sign up for it cause it was full house.With no hesitation and without thinking twice i make my final decision to go!hThough I dont have any trekking experience beforeThough I dont know no one at all beside my sister's friend NasyThough I know I will be having my tennis tournaments in 2 weeks after the expeditionThough I know my 21st birthday will be around one of those dayThough I know im having Fyp--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I wish i can typed out the whole 6 six days that i was there with them. But somehow i realized if typed it out it gonna be way too long to read up. Im just going to typed the part where i think its nice to be kept and reflect back.The BalukuAt the very checkpoint i had a fall on the water fall. The bag just slammed me down and the thing that hit first was my head. Its painful lar. But then its temporary only. Then there it goes my baluku on my forehead. Ugly and awful. I think im so gonna have this rocky - slippery area phobia. All the way when i trek up the rocky areas i was bare footed.Just telling you cause i had an experience.Tennis shoe + no grip + rocky slippery areas = YOU ARE FINDING TROUBLE!
Baha Camp siteThat place was our 2 nights sleeping area. Our journals reading. Our dinner.Our night watch. Our breakfast. Our morning Dip. It was an AWESOME place totally. My mind is fresh about the things happening there. Celebrated Jun Liang's birthday on the first night and celebrated my birthday on the last night.The sun rising moment was VERY NICE to be alone to refresh our brain from those shitty things that happened.My mind was flashing back the "moments" that happened last Semester. when i was watching the clouds and waiting for the sun to rise up.We Trek Up and Up then Down and DownTo trek was sure a tiring one. Yea the word "endure" is always on my mind and the motivational "2 mins" by our group members are always keep us motivating to keep moving on telling us psychologically that we are "reaching soon".Trekking up the mountain with heavy bags are just making things hard for us. But we managed to get up to the 3 summits in one piece.I learn lots of new stuff while trekking up. My group bonding grow stronger though we did not know each other that well. Yes at first when we start trekking the atmosphere of our group are totally silent. But as we trek up day by day the communication in our group flows well.We support, we pushed each other to keep on moving. Though there are few people having trouble physically include me. Shuqi having leg cramps on the first day as for Ming Fei and Fadilah they had a sprain ankle while we were trekking down from Mt.Stong.Mount BahaThe first mountain we reached was Mount Baha. When we reached there it was drizzling and windy. It was so cold. I was just wearing t-shirt and short pants and wearing ponchos it doesnt help that much. I took out my jacket and wore it though im covered with sweats. After few minutes at Baha we continued trekking to Mount Ayam which around 45 mins to reached the summit.Mount AyamWhen we reached Mount Ayam the sky was dark. Mount Ayam was cold but not that cold as Mount Baha. We camwhored and continued our trekking to our camp site which took another 30 minutes away. Once we reached the campsite immediately we drop our bags and started to pitched our basha and tent.As another group reached they help us to set up the basha. The last group arrived later then us as some of them served them with hot milo since it was so cold that night. Noh and Sham was down when they reached the camp site.The night was so cold that i wore 2 clothing for myself and still i can feel the coldness. It was lucky that night my night watch with Hjijah, Ain and Supri was kinda early. And yes as my night watch is over. It was my birthday. Hehe.My day Yea it was my birthday when im at Mount Ayam. Happy Birthday to me!Supri, Hijjah, Ain and some others who still awake wishing me. Thank you so much!So my 21st years old gift. It was priceless. No one can EVER buy for me.Except for him up there who gave me this gift to appreciate it, to experience it.So my gift was reached the Mount Stong summit. I was excited when i actually reached at the summit though my group was the last one to reached. Neh it doesnt matter at all. (:What does matter to me is to reach there with everyone whose around me during the past 6 days.After the Mount Stong long break. Headed back to Baha camp site for our last night. It was kinda long journey to head back. As my group was the last one to leave and last one to reached. I love my group we were awesome. As we trek back we crack jokes, we laughed and we sang song together as we head back.There was one song that motivate me to keep on moving. I dont know the lyrics at all but i ve heard it somewhere before. Again Ain sang for me. It was The climb by Miley Cyrus.There were so many breaks that we had that takes lots of time in the middle of the jungle. Until night fall and we still did not reached the camp. We are lagging far behind from other 2 groups. We move a little bit more faster than we used to. The are so many slippery areas as we trek down due to wet whether few days ago.This is the part where i had so many bad falls. The grounds are slippery even one little step i made i just slipped off. I was kinda pissed that I always slip. Angry you know. hmph! At last i decide to slide down. It was a critical decision made by me and its not good cause you might get dirty with those muddy slides. But neh I dont give a damn just get down and reached the campsite!When we reached at the campsite it was the best moment ever! ever! yes ever!The other 2 groups who reached the campsite first came towards us and gave us the helping hand to carry our bags to the campsite. Some of them came towards us with hot milo and gave us to drink. That is what Syafiq wants. He said "I will be pissed if we reach and there is no hot milo." LOLThe atmosphere was kinda chaotic once we reached. Everyone was helping my group. It was VERY sweet of them. My legs was hurting during the trekking down moment. Every single step i made was so painful. When i opened my shoe my feet was "crumpled". its something like when your finger get too long with water they will "crumpled".omg i hope you understand what i mean.So Pk was telling me that i whore a cotton socks. Well if you ask me i dont know what its all about. So the "crumpled" actually like expand so it get back to normal condition. That was the hurting part came in.The special gift from special peopleSham asked me to take the cream that i borrowed her. So i went back to the tent and took it out. I think Im too tired that day till I sleep in the tent. few minutes later someone came in the tent and wake me up. I thought its was my night watch time. But no i have to attend the de-briefing. I was so shaky and dizzy. My walking wasnt that straight. It was Hijjah support me. All I know i was already at the basha.Everyone was there except for Saidah who was sick. The journal writing was being read out next the reflection about the whole trekking moment session.Before the reflection session starts i get a suprise from them. They sang a birthday song for me and gave a VERY cute gift.Which was a small can of tuna with 1 candle on top of the can and small green lantern. Cute right? lols. Thank you guys!Before I blow the candle i made ONLY ONE wish and I hope it do come true.So back to the reflection session.Everyone have to say something about the trip.When it came to my turn to share. i was breakdown. I cried as i share with them my stories. How grateful I am to join the expedition. It was totally not regretful at all.Last Day with MountainsLast day is the most awesome day ever.I had my very first water fall! yeay! I am a HAPPY person. It was so shiok! We had our natural massage from the mountain ok! From the very top waterfall where the 2 mountains ( Ayam and Stong ) combine to one. Interesting stuff huh.After came back from the water fall. The guide showed us they slide down from the water fall. It was cool yet dangerous. So yea never ever try that. Once back to the camp pack up the and trekk down to the guard post. It too 2hrs to trek down and this time i felt much easier.Once we reached at the bottom part of the mountain. I saw the gateway to the civilization is open widely me and Mingfei hold on our hands together as we walk joyfully out from the place and jump with excitement.Everyone took a shower publicly once they reached at the guard post. No matter the guys or the ladies we just showered. Look refresh and smell good for the last day with the mountains and we went back to the warong where we had our dinner and chill while waiting for the train to come and bring us back to the civilization world.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My GroupMr Wilfred - Well I did learn lots of new things from him during the trip. It was nice meeting him. And yea he was a great adventurer person.Ain - Ain! Yeah.She a nice girl really. Thank you so much for giving your help during the trekking. The birthday song. The Climb that you sang thank you so much! It really does motivate me. (:Suhaimi - hehe! The talkative guy in the group. Well not really talkative but i think our group got lots of things to talk i guess. Well nice meeting you too. He is like those scientist kiddo.Haidar - Hello~ he is like spiderman.So flexible. I think his is way heavier then mine and he can be like so stable. Dope! Thank you so much for giving me your helping hand during the trek!Syafiq - SYAFIQ!!!! My best person in the group. Really he was my savior. He was the joker. I really really really appreciate that we were in the same group. Yea like i shared with the group during the last day reflection moments that i feel its hard to believe to people who likes to jokes. Cause they tend not to be serious.But somehow when you help me all the way when we trek down to the base camp. I was really touched. Infact your bag were much heavier than mine and you are lighter than me and you manage to hold me back and make sure i dont slipped. We have to joke with each other to go down fast to reached fast and we dont fall. That was the aim.I really thank you Syafiq. And i will never ever forget. (:Jon - You are like my guard at the front and back.LOL. Well yea you help me and teach me so much. Ive learn to find my steps when hike up. It was nice meeting you!Henry - Henry I dont get it why they are bullying you.lol But yea you are blur at times and that is why they likes to bully you i guess. anyways nice meeting you too. (:MingFei - She is good. Really she do. Shes fit. Though she sprained her ankle as we trek down she and Fadilah never give up to trek till end with a great smile. (:Chester - He and Henry are kinda same. Quite and blur. So cant put both of them together. Chester seems to be more to himself and not mixed around. The good thing about him is that he knows this expedition made him a turning point.Fadilah -Hehe! She was My Secret Pal! I spent the 6 days trying to figure out what she likes. So i can give her the gift.Im so lucky that we were in the same group so at the same time i actually look after her and make sure shes doing well. I tried my best to actually not take care of her that much so that she will never suspect im her secret pal.Its funny that i get her as my secret pal cause i was telling myself that she is so fit that i dont think she need to have a secret pal. But yeay! Is was nice to meet her and be her secret pal. I hope she likes the gift that i gave her. Oh I spelled her name wrongly.LOL.
Like Ming fei, she sprained her ankle when we were trek down. The funny part about her she can still joke around after she sprained. So cute. And ya! I totally had fun having dinner with her,Sham and Supri! The rice mixed with yam,egg, vege and Blackpeper Tuna. LOls. It was delicious *Yumyum*
Shuqi - Shes one pretty lady. Same age as me,Fadilah and Ming fei in the group. LOLs. Shes the lady who had cramps on the first day same as me when we hike up to the baha campsite. Shes the lady who help us cooked for our dinner. hehe!
Jovin - Jovin. Lols. I dont get it why every little thing we have to be serious. lols. He so like leader wannabe in the group. But the last day when we want to hike down apparently he was nice cause he waited for me and guide me down. Ok la not bad actually this guy. LOL.
