Trekking

It was a Monday, and it was 7 in the morning. As agreed earlier, we met at the college carpark, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sunrise. so much for that =\ by 7 the sun was already shining up high in the sky. oh well... next time, maybe.

so what were we doing at the carpark at such an early hour? me, andrew, vishal, daryl, kenny and a few other college mates were going to climb the highest peak in Malaysia : Kota Kinabalu. Many had done it, but we wanted to be the next.

Fast forwarding to the hike. by the time we had started the journey for a rough 5 minutes, i knew instantly that i had regretted my decision to join this aCtivity. the trail was really steep, it was inclined at like, 70 degrees most of the time xp haha! really xing ku man.

the entire hike took about 4 hours to complete, and the scariest part of it was probably the lack of safety measures. the higher you climber, the greater the fall. no barriers or ropes to hold you in, except the occasional rope to help you get to the next area. honestly, it really freaked me out. according to amelia's mom, who sort of acted as our guide for the trekking (nice lady btw), a college girl had recently fell from 1 of the dangerous spots. she had somehow swung too hard on the rope, hit her head on a nearby boulder, released the rope, and rolled down the hill a good 300 metres!! imagine that!! by the time she was found, her body had multiple fractures and god knows how many broken bones. oh, and her head was split wide open too. x.x

anyway, by the time we were done with the hike my knees were already covered with bruises and cuts. trekking is really too hardcore for me, and i've decided that i'll never step foot on a single mountain trail again! haha! my body ached like mad the next day, even sitting on the toilet bowl was an impossible task! so readers, be warned!! haha!

alright i'm signing off now, be back soon! =)
