Hihi.. I am back. BAck from a gruelling trekking expedition..
I have lots to say about this trip.. but I don't know where to start. I shall just highlight a few..
The first day of climbing was tough as I don't know what to expect. The sun was blazing hot as we we marched down the mountain trail. After Lunch, we had to climb this long stretch of steps.. I was panting heavily.. So, I had to regulate my breathing in order to remain my composure and my slow down my heartbeat.. The two guys offer to help carry my small backpack but I decline. Haha..I can make it on my own. We took 5 hours to trek up to our small teahouse.. which is more like a chalet.. It was good. It was about 3 pm ++ when we reached there.. we then have our shower there.. It was freezing cold. all of us came out trembling ..
Throughout the trek, we had to bathe in freezing cold water.. the kind of cold is like putting ur hand into the pail of water filled with ice.. your hand will become numb within seconds.. thus, we all had to snuggle in our sleeping bag after bathing.. esp David and Ben.. I was the only brave soul who play Dai-di without a sleeping bag.. David comments that "gals have more fats then guys".. hmph.. I think quite true hor.. but then. they eat so much yet so afraid of cold.. tsk tsk.
The 2nd day of trek was good. We trek through the forest.. It was bit slippery when there were small streams we had to cross.. This time.. I walked bit slowly.. as I really want to try to look at the scenery.. as I really concentrate on stepping on the "right" rock to prevent myself from landin on my bum e day before.. Hereby, I am thankful and grateful for the guys who tolerate my "cautious-ness".. The 2nd day of trek was short. We reached the next teahouse by 11 am..
We then had our lunch there.. The view was good. There weren't much to do.. there weren't tv.. it was cold outside.. all we did is play dai-di and I took a little nap.. I really enjoy this moment. Time passes slowly yet I fully immersed myself in the whole atmostphere - up in the mountain.
The trek to Ghorephani was brief and nice. It was quite fun actually.I picked up the momentum of going up and down the steps.. making sure that every step is carefully chosen and I do not fall. But uphill still remains a challenge. My heart just beats more aggressive than ever..
I love my bed at Ghorephani. It was a queen size bed in my own room. We finally had our first hot shower at the teahouse before I lay on my comfortable bed.. and readin a book which i brought from singapore. LIfe has never been so good. Nuaing-

Everything seemed worth it when you take painful steps to reach to the top.. =) I did.
