tips for hiking in big group

Just came back from KK trip. the view is awesome and the hike is tiring... few things i learn from the hike and would like to share

i think hiking in a group of 8 person is quite difficult because we all have different speed. In the middle of the hike, we were seperated to 3 groups.
1st group is the faster moving one (Mel, Dave & WM), 2nd group is the mid-range group (me, Dom & Geoff) and the last group is the slower one (E & C).

Because E is moving too slow so E decided to hike on her own trying to catch up with us. She's angry because she thinks that we all should move in a group rather than ditching the slow moving one behind.. which i kinda agree because this is not a small hike.. it's an 8 hours hike... it's pretty bad of us to leave her hiking alone. E is fine because she has the guide with her...

So generally i think:
1. couple should hike together.
For my case, during the first hike, i suffer because of all the steps i was moving really really slow, but he waited for me. during the 2nd hike, he had a very bad cramp on his leg muscle and had to stop every 5 minutes but i waited for him. yeah, we missed the sun rise, but we made it to the top together.
In another case, in the first part of hike, Geoff suffered because all his water supply is with WM. the 2nd part of the hike, WM suffered because she left her jacket with Geoff.

2. Know your limit
i know very well that i have limited stamina therefore i opt not to carry anything at all. Luckily i persisted on it. One reason y Dom got bad cramp was because he insisted on carrying a 7kg load with him.

that's all i can think off now.. haha...

Penang Hill Hike

Yesterday we hike up Penang Hill...

not sure if it's my sickness or my lousy stamina... i was struggling to go up... not even close to 10 minutes of the hike i wan to die already... must be the flu...

anyway, after torturing myself of close 2 hours, we finally see civilazation... then we had a quick lunch and decided to explore the canopy walk.

one thought that that way can go down, another thought that the other person knows the way down from there.
Akibatnya? 2 girls being "Holland" by the 2 boys and walked all the way to Teluk Bahang Trail..... @*(#^(@%#@#$

In the end, we back track to Penang Hill and got a jeep to go down...

fyi, we started the hike at 10am and finish at 5pm (longest hike ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

SO TIRED....... :(

sick

:(

i hate fever...

temp: 39.9 degree..

come on body... faster faster get well... how to hike KK like this??

belated birthday

Sunday was great as 5 of us went to have a nice dinner. Moon bake us all small little cupcakes that are just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable and yummy at time same time!! Thank you!!! :)
the chit chatting was lots of fun too though it lead to nowehere except for CY's A or B or C option and Star's new found crush... hahaha

a little dedication for these girls:

CY a.k.a Sun
No matter your choice of A, B or C, you know you have our full support. Though things seems crazy now but when the right time comes, God will reveal the perfect man for you. Don't change yourself for the sake of someone else. Continue to be yourself as I've said before, it's not wrong for a girl to be playful, so long as it's not being a playgirl (those that flirts around lar.. :p) People love you for your playfulness.. :)

PW a.k.a Star
Everything happens for a reason and God has the perfect timing for everything that you have prayed for. At times when it seems that He's not answering your prayers, that's probably He thinks that it's not the time yet. It's ok to fall, so long as you know how to pick yourself up, maybe laugh a little at yourself and move on. Continue your faith in Him and never give up! :)

LL a.k.a Moon
Just as the name "Moon", you are quiet and full of peace. You are always supporting the girls silently but never fail to let them know that you care. Through your cakes and cookies we received your thoughfulness and your love for all of us. If you are thinking of opening a bakery shop, you have my full support. Your cakes & cupcake is just so marvelous.. :)

Hugs & muaks for you girls... :)

difference

last night i was chatting with my sister...

she was telling me how a childish boy in her uni is driving her up the wall...
the childish boy has been asking help from my sister to finish his assignment.. My sister being very kind, agreed to help him by providing him the answer and show him some guidance and the rest of the steps and equation, he has to do it on his on. instead of thanking her, he say he don't want, he want the completed assignment of hers so that he just need to copy and paste. my sister say no. then he went and tell his friends (which is also her friends) tat she's very mean and scolded him and purposely want him to fail in this assignment.

my sister being the kinder one and the one that rarely throws thantrum, just simply explain to her friends and still have the energy to layan his phone calls and still persuade him to do his own assignment.

if this situation falls in me, that guy is a goner. i would have totally ignored him as if he never exist and probably give him a good scolding (since he ask for it in the first place.. )

same situation, different approach. what's your style?

question:

if there's a married couple that you know very very well and you suddenly got to know that the guy is having an affair.... would you tell your friend about about? would you confront the guy about it? Or we should just keep our mouth shut?

friendship, relationship & abondan the ship

she's not talking to me anymore... funny...

that guy is not her boyfriend (or at least that's what they have been telling me)
That guy.. to me is just a casual friend, a colleague. That's all.
No affair, no secret likings not even consider as buddy...
we do have dinner together once in a blue moon, but in 2 years of knowing together, we only went out for dinner alone for less than 5 times.
It's not even those fancy or flashy restaurant, just normal hawker food, mamak stall.
and even those dinner are just an impromptu thing.

Girl S,
he's just my team mate and my friend. I have no intention to steal him from you, IF he's yours. you are a nice girl, but you got to control yourself. You are freaking him out with such behaviour. I'm leaving in less than 2 months time so don't make my time there even harder than now.

Girl B,
stop lying. You are telling too much lies. I like you at first, but your lies destroy this friendship. Though whatever relationship you have with him is none of my business, but lying to me about what he has done to you is stupid. I don't hate you but i can't talk to a liar.

Boy E,
If you can't handle a lady properly, i suggest you stop stepping into a relationship now. Mistake or no, we women have our feelings and sleeping around with them and ditch them saying that they are not your type is not the way to go.

I'm glad i'm leaving soon. I really am. you guys have taught me a few lessons in life. thanks
