I am back from Belumut, a second time. For those who are concerned, thanks a lot for that and yor messages. Your well wishes are precious to me. I am back safe and sound, no injuries save a few scratches on my knee and muscle aches all over as of today.
Eh, apparently I think I am not as fit as last time. The trek was tiring. But we still made it despite our fatique. Bag-pull-ed with Hazel- meaning we put our stuff in one bag and take turns to carry. We had 4.5L of water equivalent to 4.5kg since density of water is 1kg/mcube and 1mcube of water makes one litre. We also packed in our stuff like bread, Hazel's extra sandals, towel, torch and other stuff. It is heavy alright, considering the fact that we were climbing a mountain of route 6km and height 110m. Drink was insufficient and we both felt that we are not really as fit as we should be. But I believe my jungle trekking skills are still there... I can still find my footing easily for downhill and can still jump over fallen tree trunks and heave myself up some heights. But to summarise, I still find my fitness level not up to standard. Oh yes, and I got to become acquainted with the juniors though I can't say that I know them all by looks yet. All in all,the trip was quite enjoyable and I am glad to be a source of motivation, despite all my crap-talk.
I intend to train more often. So Yuting, please be prepared for more motivational jogging sessions. I believe you will look forward to them, hopefully.
