Mr. Rinjani, Here I see you (2/3)

With my tentmate, Wanie

Slept like a sleeping princess until I was distracted by the noise of the rest, preparing for the hike. Wanie and I kept ourselves silent until someone called us to get ready.

Get dress and get ready, then we were served with a simple breakfast. Kopi dan biskut..

Layannn.... no complaint.. hiker will not complaint.. terima seadanya..

Once done, we joined the pack for the hike.

Breaking dawn to the Summit...

Adik dan abang..

The twins

Sudah la Zack.. Tak habis2 berkemas

***

2.30pm the hike started

KePewaian bermula..

The rumor that I heard about the sandy trail wasn't a rumor.. but a true story.

When my feet embedded in the sand, every three steps ahead, it will come down to two steps.. while my body has to fight with the coldness, tiredness, and my lumbago pain.

No one was asking me for this.. no one will rewards me for my strength, my fitness if I manage to reach my target. Why I still do it ?

Nature... I love the smell, the feel, the moment.. the everything...

and

I just wanted to forget.. forget everything that weighing in my mind... which I have realized that.. I could not run to forget.. I could not hide... to solve it.. I have to face it.

The first group left me no where in the dark...

I could not wait for the 2nd and the 3rd group...

walking through the clouds in the darkness.. coolness..
Praying to be given the strength to continue until the end..

The volcanic ashes, sand or small rocks on the steep gradient, during the hike, slowing down the motion. Until I met Leong.. we then moved together until we re-combine with the others

Epul doing his homework.. takut cekgu marah..

The Christopher Columbus.. writing down everything since we started...

Syabas betta..

Leong met an Eskimo man

The sun slowly appear.. we don't catch the sunrise at the peak.

Stop to enjoy the moment and the views.

No complaints..

We don't complaint...

Go away tiredness

Whatever happen, I will still move on

Even I'll be late..

Stop...

Slowly and steadily

Together we move

With Kak Gee, age 55

Age is not a factor. . Yes I have to agree with it.

Stop again...

Catching the breath

Looked easy...

You don't say anything until you try to walk through it..

The peak still far.. 

Capturing the moments

The other side of the trail

Another stop..

The Peak, behind us.. 

Looked near but it was so far away

Stop again...

(berapa banyak stop daaa)

Somehow..

I enjoy.. the smell of the sand..

Apa kaler gaiters sekalipun... belum tentu membawa kejayaan yang gemilang !

Looking ahead

macam dekat bhai !

Dekat di mata, jauh di kaki..

Usaha tangga kejayaan bebeh

Apat yang  bergaya..

Bersama kederat yang tinggal..
