"The Lumbong trekking trip"

Some sentiments to share on this challenging and enjoyable experience and for others to have an idea what this trekking trip is abt.

My impression of trekking is totally transformed after this trip. Now then I realized that trekking consists of some mountain climbing and not plainly just walking through the forest! The first vertical rocks that we came across totally freak me out. To be honest, I can feel warm waters starting to circle in my eyes when I first witness the daunting task before me. It was like one of my fear factors staring right at me! My first thought is that I really cannot do it but I know that there is no turning back and you just got to climb up to continue the trek no matter what! No one can help you climb one! With significantly faster heartbeat and feeble legs, my every step taken is with full alertness and consciouness cos I really scared of falling off the cliff! Luckily with some guidance from the leaders and observation of others before me, I managed through safely. It was then I realized that fears can actually be overcome if you put your mind and soul into overcoming it. This is one great lesson that I've learnt, personally.

Fear is then gradually mixed with feelings of excitement and challenge after we go through some more other tedious obstacles along the way. I became seeing the obstacles as more of a challenge than something fearful. Some parts are danergous but yet it is what make it the more thrilling. I myself was surprised by my mixed feelings. I was supposed to be scared but yet feeling excited at the same time!

The waterfalls are spectacular and cooling. Camp on summit. Refill water from streams. Self-designated toilet cubicles in the wiild. Raining on 2nd day.

Not going to write more as it will just get too descriptive and perhaps boring to read... So anything curious to know more abt such a trekking trip, jus ask me lar.

Having frens around helps. The thought that they are going through the same thing together with me is comforting to know. And if not for the guidance and helping hands of the leaders and frens around me, some obstacles would reali be extra hard for me to overcome. Thanks!

My poor techniques of climbing over the rocks have led me to having patches of blue-blacks on my legs! So no wearing of skirt for a few weeks (as if I often wear skirt). My super muscle aches are really terrible too. So don't jio me for any exercise for the time being, plssss. ;p
