I didn’t really like the feeling of trekking! But I continued and signed up to be one of the executive committee members of the adventure club, and subsequently made more trips like Berkelah Waterfalls, Mount Ophir, Gunung Stong and Taman Negara.

Why is that so? I can’t explain it also. Maybe its because of the sense of achievement, that feeling when you reach the top of Ophir, gazing over the plantations and little houses below. Maybe its the scenery… that awesome breathtaking sunrise at the base camp of Stong. Maybe its the community, that bunch of crazy people I really love hanging around with. Maybe its nature, all the greeneries and all the insects, flora and fauna.

I don’t know. Really. Sometimes it really feels terrible to be standing at the top of the mountain, knowing that the trek down is going to be long and tiring, but when you are back down, you will say to yourself – “I want to come back here again… and I want to conquer greater mountains!”

I love trekking!
