2009 Highlight #1

Jungle trekking. “Laila Sari” was the place. With a group of friends.

The trekking, was not only an achievement I did after such a long time not doing anything outdoor but the highlight was the personal growth in me. Climbing on steep hills, trying to balance on top of the cliff, and avoiding the bugs in the jungle was not as easy as I thought. On the way into the woods, I took the trek rather lightly. I didn’t know it could have been quite strenuous. But when my friends and I reached to the water fall, all hard work paid off.

We complained, we sulked and even part of me even regretted half way through trekking. I could have spend my Sunday morning sleeping, resting while getting ready for the working week, why did I choose to do this? I asked myself. The completion of the journey gave me a very rewarding feeling and as said earlier, I learnt something from this. I figured that nothing in life will come easy without any hardship nor strong will. And even so, we will only appreciate what we achieve through it. Completing the trek is not difficult I must say but the gratifying achievement I couldn’t express more in words. It is no big deal to most of you but it was the personal growth which I achieved that made it the year’s highlight to me.

p/s: I didn’t carry my camera with me as I thought I couldn’t juggle which I am right hence it explains why there is no pictures posted.
