Ophir
Oh the legendary mountain of malaysia. The mother of all mountians. Why is it call the mother of all mountain ? Because in order to climb other mountain, you must first try ophir. So if you cannot even climb ophir, you no need to carry on with other mountain le. Its the 64th highest mountain and 6th hardest to climb mountain in malaysia. I manage to conquer the mountain of cos with the help of some dear friends ( if i dun say this they will riot :x )But yah. thanks chee meng for repacking my bag which is almost the same. Thanks karhow for carrying my bag up from checkpoint 2 1/2 to checkpoint 4. Thank symail for carrying my bag from check point 5 to summit and back to base camp.
The booking in nite did not went well for me. Breifing all that. Then everyone looks unfamiliar and strange. And some even attitude problem. Then i remember got once i hong gan. I wanted to sleep but i heard too much mumbling then i throw the pillow on the floor. Then i go down say the queentown people. "This is my last warning for you. Don't make me fall in you all and surrender all the cirgrattes." Wah straight away all diam diam. And from then on all went to sleep already.
Next morning. We were all set. Waiting for the stupid breakfast to come. Wah lao. Wait until 7.40 then come. Then we take 10 min globble up the food. Then we set off to ophir le. Stop at yong peng as usual. The things there like very expensive. So i never buy much. Then finally reach the resort. Then saw the central district people. They going home le. The was breifing at the function hall. Warrant kitto talk so the funny but no one understood what he talking. Lol. Then he scold the medic. Lol . First word come out is vugarlitie. Then eat the food there. Not bad lar. Resort food leh. Then go to our room. Woot. not very good. But not very bad also. Then night snack still got buguar de lor. WArrant kitto go out buy. At night was very scared. Scared i cannot get through how. What if i drop down. What if i dirroeah how. Scared a lot of things lor. Then was praying damm hard not to rain. Rain we jia lat. Cos will be slippery
Then next day is the day to set off. HAlfway through i feel like vommiting cos, my bag too heavy. Dunno why the item is same as karhow they all but it is more heavy than theiris. So in the end we exchange bag lor. Kar how took my bag. Then bryan the bukit view cadet told kar how's and i took bryan's. Amd finally we reach our base camp... Was so happy lor. The tent all that was rdy for us. Oh yea kar how bring up one of the tent too. If not ah we must squeeze with the teacher ah. Oh yah the water is freakingly cold lor. We have to bath in the river right. Or rather stream. Wah. You put you leg inside is so freaking cold. Even you put water bottle inside right,you take out the water bottle will have condensation de lor. We were screaming and screaming because its so freakingly cold. At night the whole place is dark. Then i could not sleep. Because the cricket sound very loud. And the never ending river flow sound also very loud. In addition the tent outside also very cold. Don't know why leh. You sleep halfway suddenly you body will be wet. But its not sweat. Its vapour.
On the day to summit. Wah... We went through 1 hr of forest treking. Then follow by one hell call KFC. Wondering mountain on top got KFC ? Nah. Its killing field course. 1.3km long. With all the roots all that. Then must climb until like fuk ~ Finish the KFC le then the real nightmare begine. Its 80 degree steep le. First you must pass two cave. Follow by some very high slope. Then the 80 feet wall. 80 degree too. you must climb up using rope. And if you let go. You will go to the expressway to the foot of the mountain. As well as the route to hell. I almost could not make it. But the ranger use their leg to support my leg. Thanks them man. So after that is botak hill check point 7. Its still not the end. Lastly you still have to walk through the jungle and was the stairs to summit. but you must climb lots of ropes and ladder. Very shag lor. And finally i reach the summit. Everyone was so happy to see me i guess. The charlie people espcially. I was so tired that i stone there for 5 min. Then i start to force myself to eat something. So that at least i have some energy. Then the summit sun is damm hot lor. Like if i put the water there for 10min it will auto boil. Cos you are so high up. above the clouds already. Then no tree no anything to cover. Of cos hot lar . Then going down was worst. Oh yah symail was carrying my bag for me. inside was water, and ration only.
Imagine going up is so difficult. What about going down. You will cry man. Going down the rope. Going down the staircase. Going down the cave. Going down the big big steps. OMG. WAs really hell lar. Then the teacher go and say something interesting.
Human are like that. When you turn back at what you have did, you discover that you have actually climb that much. But always still feel that you have not enough not enough.
So in the end lt liu me and kar how was behind and then we were talking about problem CLT and teacher faces. Like the teacher always demand the food to be delivered to their bunk. All because of DC lar. DC told the teachers that the clt will serve food to us. I reach base camp was damm shag. Shag until i dun even feel like moving lor. Chee meng saw... Then all the cadets all bully my medic. Medic haven't eat keep finding him. Little cut little cut find him le ... Ant bite also find him lor...
Then we have a good talk with the teachers. Feel so good...
This trip is ver experiental to me lor. I learn a lot of things textbook could not teach. I learn teamwork and i see how powerful is motivation. Its got chance i will go again. But this time i will train myself hard...Its so good to see civilisation. Just that when i sleep at night, i heard the cricket sound and the river flowing sound also. Lol...
Althought i dun really believe in god, i must say i felt them with me during this trip. On our way there, there is heavy rain in the morning. Every night i will pray, i don't know who i pray to but i just pray and say my prayer softly, to pray for my safety. Pray for the cadet's safety. Pray for my friends safety and pray for the weather. And everyone was fine and the weather really good. No rain on our trip up. Other district have lor. Only our district totally don't have.
I learn a lot . I learn how to cherish. Cherish my mother's cooking. Cherish all the things i have. Friends, brothers. What more do i ask for.
And shankra have been wanting to be a piolet or commandos. Then you say i am those slack slack type. Is not that i dun want go to be piolet. Who don't want to fly. But not everybody can. I go better things to do rather than aiming for things which is hardly impossible. Sometimes be more down to earth. Aim at something too high attainable is just wasting you brain juice.

A Story of A Crown Prince
A Beggar can never be a prince. Even if one day the beggar become the prince, he can never be a real prince.
So what does a prince look like. How does a prince feel like? Have you ever wonder if Singapore is a country where king rules the country. How is it like?
Just some reflection after my royal ethics classes.
This few weeks i have been busy. When i say busy is real damm busy. National Camp. Yah. Its sucky ah. All the people backstab here backstab there. Then DC :S like that. Then some CLT also like that. Then the other uniform group also like that :s.
Other people were having fun. The appreciation lunch is to appreciate who? The VIP ? The parents? Then who appreciate us. Chairman thank you speech also never even mention us. We work so hard for who? For the national camper? Whom treat us like sucker. For the NCC? Who don't even care about our exsistence. For our beloved DC? Who only care about himself first. For ourselves? When no one even reconigzed us.
My duty is to led people board the bus. Incharge of the movement of the bus. Then actually was given an office. That office the NSF put their thing. Put Put put put until they think that the place is theirs already. I want to go in they also ask me why i go in for. Even i want to just sit down and enjoy a bit of the campfire also being called to do carpark duty. Will anyone care about us. Because we are nobody.
CLT is what. Still cadet what. Any SAF private one finger press you also flat on the ground. Then cadet dun even give a god damm fuk about you. Teachers will think that our job is to clear their shit for them. I don't feel great lar.
Was so hoping that school end as soon as possible. But now it had ended with lousy exam done, i feel like shit also. Not knowing what to do. Study for exam or exam for study? Now we are like studying for exam. What teacher teach you is not what you have to know regarding your course. Is what you have to know for exam. Not important one they won't touch at all. Its like why do we buy the textbook with 800 over pages when we use like 50 pages only? I still prefer the olden days where exam is for study. You will study everything that will teach you on moral and ethics. Now? Our people are not behaving like how they should believe. Watching the young and promising teenager smoking their life away. I have start to feel tired living. There isn't anything worth celebrating about.
There is one prophecy that says that everything is this universal is a cycle. Who you see happening now, you will see it 2500 years later. And this got to say that at the year 2500 AD will be the destruction of the modern human kind and everything will start new. And if after 2500 years later. I will choose to meet you and to fall in love with you. Even how pain it would be.
