Completing an arduous journey!!

Last half term ive spent most of my time WALKING. Aku  inda turun ke London sebab aku ada walking expedition for my DofE. 

Halton Training Camp. The place was HELL, feeling misery was inevitable.

Then start my LONG journey for 4 days and 3 nights with an average of 9 hours walking a day on Tuesday. During the whole journey since day 1 macam aku kept thinking 'when will this gonna end? why did i join DofE in the first place? mana kan campsitenya ane?'

That's my 17 kilo rucksack that i have to carry with me sepanjang the journey btw. 

The result of carrying it= bruises arah pinggang and shoulders

Naik bukit day1. ane okay lah pasal masih fresh kan day 1 lah konon and ane macam baru the first 30 minutes of day1. 

Kalau ada naik bukit mesti ada turun bukit jua. turun bukit okay lah jua masa day1, lutut masih okay.

At the summit of mount ingelborough, the highest peak out the 3 peaks of yorkshire moors. baik jua naik gunung ane masa day1. kepisan udah sorg2. arah the summit very lah foggy inda berapa nampak. ane alum g setengah hari of walking. kan menangis udah rasanya. masa day1 we had our lunch at the summit. 

ane turun the mountain so kan menuju campsite. not bad... masih jua okay. tapi masih g jauh from campsite. rasanya mcm forever bejalan ah.

Ane berehat. chilling dulu for 5 minutes after walking for a few miles.

Day 2, turun bukit curam. perlahan berabis sorg2 turun except for the guy yg duduk2 atu berlari turun iatah ia dulu cross the bridge. 

Lapas lunch masa day2. hujan labat tia so tepaksa pakai waterproof jacket. iatah usul kami ne  masa lunch rucksack yg beribu kilo baratnya atu tah jadi tempat duduk kami. 

Ane masa day 3, hampar dah... baru lapas naik bukit and ane chilling dulu, mengambil nafas. pasal lapas atu ada g bukit kan dinaiki.  kusut kali ah... and masa day3 kami macam naik turun bukit saja ada 3 ke 4 bukit kali.

Day 3 macam never ending the path. berabis2 hampar dah, inda g kira kamah kah inda duduk saja dimana2. inda g tecakap bah kami ah... kepisan berabis dah.

 At the camp site. Lapas siap dirikan tent. kan get ready for dinner.

Inside our tent. aku, lyn and lena pakai tent untuk 2 org pasal dorg nada tent untuk 3 org so kami besampit lah dalam tent ah. packd berabis tent kami ah.

Day 3. At the last camp site. happy lah.... bsuk last day. tapi the journey kan k camp site ane, gila seksa... saat akhir kan smpai k camp site ane pun naik bukit bah. i injured my knees so aku tepaksa drag kaki throughout the whole journey. gila udah smpai nyaman jua rasa ati.. the last camp site was fun. yg plg best out of the three campsite yg kami aga. Ane duduk dulu before pasang tent.

Memasak dinner. malam atu kami mcm masak and makan suma makanan kami yg tinggal pasal bsuk last day and supaya ringan beg. well inda plg make that much difference but then ringan sikit lah. sikit saja kurangnya.

Last day... inda sabar kan balik. last day was the best day cause kami bejalan for 11 km saja and inda byk bukit and mcm a walk in the park saja. Byk rehat and we had an hour lunch break  sbb kami mesti dtg arah the checkpoint by 1.30pm and kami awal by 2 jam. so iatah that day chill lah sja. cool!

 

Checkpoint kami tu nah castle ah... saat saat akhir expedition. castle atu mcm 100m away kali saja so obviously everyone was excited....

FINALLY!!! after walking about 80km for 4 days sampai jua ke penghujungnya. kali udah abis the expedition everyone was in disbelief mcm 'wow it's relly over'  

 

This was the whole group.

melvin, lyn, lena,zaw,amelia, catherine and callum kami with our two assessors.

btw our group did really well, kami smpai at every checkpoint either on time or awal... and we all pass the expedition...... 

it was an amazing experience *seksa plg* tapi im proud of myself to be able to complete the journey despite of my two bad knees and injured shoulder. To say i will want to go on a walking expedition again, no way man, never, let that one be the last. sepanjang walking atu inda plg beranti2 menyumpah2 dalam hati ah. bangun selalu 5.30am, start bejalan kul 7pagi smpai kul 4 lalu.udah abis the expedition baru tah ku dpt ckp all the positive things ive gained from the expedition, mun dtanya masa sdg2 bejalan, alum... abis2 ku ckp 'this expedition depresses me' i was miserable for most of the time tho except for the last day. nevertheless, it was relly amazing (seriously, not everyone cud survive the arduous journey)the journey was remarkable and i will always remember it.... *sigh* 

It was indeed a nice way to celebrate my 19th bday!=p haha It was memorable...

100th post

THIS IS THE 100th POST huhuh..
I posted this video in the facebook but I will post it again here.

I was moved by this video, watching it, stirrs my plan of another 12 years of studying. We are dissolved into what we will possess in the FUTURE for the past few weeks; with PS and university application but we have forgotten what we have in the PRESENT that might become PAST in the future. It maybe to early for raya and a bit jiwang. But what this video entails, sud be kept in mind in the past, present or future!

The video is crazily funny!

RAINBOW

This blog seems to be dead (obviously!) despite of its very original eye-catching Ho7 layout. Thanks to a blogger titled ThHeartofSeven who apparently doesnt want her name to reveal, for her effort to ensure this blogger survive.

Randomly, I came across a quote yesterday and find it interesting.

'If You want the Rainbow, You must to put up with the Rain' - D.Parton

Honestly, I am not a big fan of rainbow but the quote, from my interpretation means something else to me.This is what I think:

Rainbow l reflects SUCCESS which is as colourful and as Beautiful as the rainbow.

'must to put up with the Rain' indicates our effort. It is never easy to create rainfall even when you put up an open burning for a week or so, the chances of getting rainfall is still low. This is similar to achieving good grades in Examination especially for the crazily demanding course like medicine. But as long as we put our minds to it, we can still get the rainfall.

I was once almost gave up to pursue this course as I found myself struggle in my current studies which are not yet difficult than Big M. After being continuously provoked by my teacher that I did not put any effort in every assignment and even the qualifying paper, I felt wanna drop my dream and go for modelling (seriously). I wanted to cry but I did not because crying makes myself looks vulnerable and weak. I fight back to prove to him that I have whatever it takes.

I emphasize the phrase 'never easy'; You need full effort to achieve what you want which most of the times require a lot of pain. It is never easy to do everything thus requires magical remedies called EFFORT and PRAYERS. Even a small thing like 'recalculating ur answers for maths qns or 'rechecking punctuation errors' can be considered as effort.

NEVER EASY THEN WORK HARD, PUT EFFORT.

Nobody said life was gonna be easy but I know the journey is worthwhile....

There's always ups and downs. 

When at the ups, it's great and as if you own the world

BUT the downs not so great.... sometimes u feel like shit and you're all alone in a world full of bitches...

As long as there is people to support you and always there by your side, things will turn out fine but then sometimes it wont turn out as you planned. Still, this experience will make you stronger. 

Actually all that matter is as long as you go through the hardships and ups with the people who really care about you...

Don't take things for granted....! Live to the fullest.. I know life ain't easy but we only live once.

sorry for my language

The road ahead holds different dreams for each and everyone of us.
Each and everyone of us has to follow different path to seize our own dream.




It is just the way it is supposed to be...

Why is there ALWAYS another GOODBYE ?

The time will come soon....time to fly!
