WE CAME, WE SAW AND WE CONQUERED....
Like I said....I am going to update my blog after i get my pics.....so yeah. I've got my pics and so it goes.....
1st of all.....I want to thank everyone who made this expedition succesful. To TEAM and to the guys who were with us.... For those of you who know, this is our 1st Independent expedition overseas and it wasn't easy organising it. That's why I really want to thank all of you who gave us their support.
Hmmmm..........Truthly speaking I wasnt't ready for the expedition myself cos i thought it was going to be easy as plan and done the 1st time. But yeah! I thought wrong. From an average of a 2hrs hike It ended up to a 7hrs drama. With our ooo so heavy load on our backs causing us to slouch......the only thing tt helped us were the sticks we found tt we made into walking sticks then. It was the only thing tt supported us.
We were so behind time and we had no chance on reaching the summit b4 nite fall as planned. We just had to depend on our other senses and our lights to trek ourselves up. Pushing ourselves BEYOND OUR LIMITS we just continued and we had alot of pit stops along the way cos we really couldn't take it any longer. With the blood sucking creatures crawling around our legs to find a good spot, and with the cramps we had to endure i would proudly say we are night conquerers of Gunung Panti. Haha.
On and on we went without giving up....we just continued.....Motivating and pushing ourselves after 6 hrs, finally we reached the last check point to the summit, the vertical wall. 1 by 1 each of us climbed up the wall. Starting from khai followed by the rest. Rizal and i were the last. Rizal to support at the bottom and i on the wall to support each and every 1 of them. I seriously didn't noe wat was up tt wall cos i was wondering wat was taking them so long to just put their bags down and come back to help us. So then it was my turn and i was just to tired to clmb the wall with my load. Luckily khai came down to bring my bag up cos i was exhausted! So it was jus me and rizal with the logistics....step by step we pulled ourselves up and i just had to stop cos i couldnt breath anymore. Thanks to rizal for calming me down, we sat down and rested. Help wasn't thr for us yet so we took our time catching our breath and lighted a fag. The sense of accomplishment was near and i could feel every moment worth while as i climbed higher and higher. Few metres up, the rest came down to help us....it was great! Thanks guys! I really needed a hand.

The moment i stepped on flat ground i was so happy tt my heart couldn't believe, it beated so fast and i really felt like crying. Cos i myself couldn't believe tt i have reached the summit. Thanks Guys! Cheers. The view was amazing when the sun came out. Its was seriously worth every single minute we suffered down thr pushing ourselves. Woke up cos i was shivvering, it was cold, raining and we could hardly breath properly....We could see smoke coming out of our mouths.....coool eh?? Thr was mist surrounding us and when we looked over the cliff we could see clouds.....my gawd.....its really amazing uh...breathtaking, i jus can't describe it.....haizz....I'm melting now.
Trekking down was so much easier....the load was lighter cos we tried reducing it up b4 we climbed down. We left the beautiful place after lunch and i just told myself to hang in thr. I was leading the 2nd day expedition and i told myself to have lesser pit stops and trek at a faster pace.....and when we reached the river, we straight away dumped our bags and ran for water cos we didn't have any more water......it was cool and wow.....i could feel the water running down my throat....spent 10 mins jus refreshing myself thr, washing my face and just enjoying the sensation.
Continued and we finally reached the waterfall where we played around, took pics and just rendam in the water......cooling off and letting go of the tension in our body ah and not forgetting, we had a nice shower there.....at the running water....wah!!! After everything...we settled down and cook and had our camofire and our debrief and we just laid thr looking at a million stars......Haizzzz.....why are other countries so much nicer then my own......played stupid guessing games until i got irritated.....argghhhh!!!! Syarif, rizal and who ever.....AH!!!!!!!
Haizzzz.....alot to share but its gonna be to long to write...im tired...its already long now and if i continue...ah...its gonna be forever.....
Like the sands through the hour glass.....so are the days of our lives.......Hiazzz.....3 cheers to TEAM.
