*Mount Ophir*

I'm backieee! from a gruelling 4 day 3 night expedition to Mount Ophir. Okay some info, its the 64th highest mountain in Malaysia.. but but its the 6th toughest mountain to climb. located at 4187 ft up from normal ground level. Glad i made it all the way to the summit.

SHo the first day, wad did i do? first took a 3 hr ride all the way to somewhere near Malacca, Gunung Ledang to be exact. Attempted several obstacle course. Love the ice breaking games, can apply them in the upcoming Part a camp. Then had a really really great lunch, not to forget dinner as well. bEst ncc food ever. the chef even hafta watch us eat. =x The sleep was great too, air con was blasting at 5 degree celsius. maan... tt was heaven.

here comes the second day, couldnt get out of the comfy bed. but anyways, had to trek up the mountain to CP 4. took 3 hrs to reach dere, sho we were all pretty shagged wiff the oh sho heavy bag of ours. guess i shortened quite alorts. CP 1 was kewl, for its all stairs and easy. CP 1 to CP 4 was the tough one, the ground's pretty uneven hafta climb over logs. Makan maggie mee after making it to CP 4.

Gotta squeeze into a rather small tent wiff 3 other guys. But thankfully, none of us stink, sho sleeping was pretty made easy. hahaha also, the water fall. maaaaaaaaaan, i miss the water fall, the water's really cold and bathing in it rocks big time. took a stone back, sssh =x

next day we went fer the summit. and its sho blardy tough and colder too. thankfully our bags were lightened becoz we din nid to bring everything up. every single one of us, 70 people, made it to the summit. We endured the killer field course a.k.a kfc and some rock climbing, and i mean real rock climbing. *show off* =x We even broke the record for being the fastest ever! took some fotographs wiff me holding a mini fotograph of Sam =x

It may seem tt descending will be easier, well it is definetely not. u need to be more focused but it wun be as tiring as ascending. tripped over some roots at times but nothing serious happened. rested over for another night, before reaching the bottom of the majestic mountain.

AS for today, bought a few t shirt, one for sam and the rest for me. =x *greedy* spent over 90 ringit on everything. but its good to pamper oneself at times =x Took a foto and returned to singapore.

Met up sam lata on. hahaha.. missed her real badly during this 4 day 3 nite stint. and 2 days lata, she'll be off to australia. sigh.. it'll be horrible fer me. but wad i can say ish dat, absence really do make the heart grow fonder ^.^ (p.s next time i bring u up the mountain, i can remember the route =x)

Learnt alort from this trip. definetely useful in serving the army in the future. no toilets around sho we habta made do wiff the bushes. hahaha.. i wun probe into tt, its... err... disgusting. Love the nature, love the cold water, love the summit, love the cold breeze, love my fellow friends, love the sense of achievment when i look at the summit from the bottom of the mountain, love Sam too =x

my CLT said it best, there are 3 kinds of people. One hu chickens out once he looks at the height of the mountain. Another ish climbing up half way, found a good spot and decided to stae dere forever. And last but not least, the one hu endures everything and made it to the very end. That's all 70 of us. We earned our NCC badge well. :)
