Things gonna be as SIMPLE as ABC!
yeah! i'd completed my ABC trek smoothly! frankly speaking, before the trip, i'd actually prepared for the worst... that's to abandon the ascent any time if ...... ...... in fact i am pleasantly surprised that i made it without too much difficulties ;)
the 10 times pre-trip training are definitely insufficient and 'not at all comparable' with the ABC trek... however the training acted as the foundation, prepared me for the challenges... and i was physically and mentally prepared for the challenges... btw we did not nap at all during the trekking trip as compared to 5 years back where we collapsed to the bed immediately after checked-in...... so...
be physically and mentally prepared for the challenges ahead...
don't limit your challenges, challenge your limits... :)
btw st & i are continuing the weekly trekking on every SAT morning from around 8:30am... start from MacRitchie and end at MacRitchie or Bukit Timah for now... we will explore other places in future... just to keep fit... do join us if you are keen :)
our team of 4 :) ... thank you so much to amir, yuba and st for the deep friendship... i'd enjoyed your awesome companion ;)
as what i told st during the night of her fall... i just can't imagine the outcome of st's fall if...
... if we did not treat amir & yuba as a team with sincerely, the bond between us will not be so strong... for example if we start the blaming games when we ended up in the camping tent, dining hall,... our 'kinship will be blemished'...
... if the bond between us is not strong, we will not be trekking physically so close to each other, allowing us to react so fast to 'save' st...
... if...
how each member of a team reacts at times of adversity depicts the level of the tie between them... i am grateful that there is trust between us... no doubts and no blames over unpleasant encounters... just overcoming the challenges hand-in-hand :)
so... trust and respect your teammates... treat them the way you like to be treated :)

i am grateful that i brought along the right 'read'... frankly i was quite disturbed during the first two days of my ABC trek because of the 'noises' around... these noises included those heard and unheard, from inside and outside, ... my 'read' indirectly calmed me down to maintain my perspective, to place issues in their proper perspective and to gain a broader perspective on issues... so as to just look at the positive aspects of all happenings, ... and for those that i failed to find the positive aspects, i laugh about & let go instead of dwelling on them lol...
sharing some here:
btw i am rather surprised at the 'amount of my buy' this time round, excluding the necessities like trekking pole, waterproof pants, raincoat and headlamp [though the trekking pole ended up to be a nuisance and no chance to wear the waterproof pants], i just bought these books and ...
... and some bookmarks...
... my favourite bookmark 5 years back is
[ The art of Himalayan travel - and indeed of all adventure - is the art of being bold enough to enjoy life now. ]
... this time round being
[ Man says: Time passes. Time says: Man passes. ]
