Hi ppl..... as u can see..... me, my family and my parents cell members went to Maxwell Hill.....we have to reach at Mr. James Mok's place at 5.30 a.m. crazy man i tell u.... wake up so early....... we start our journey bout 5.45 a.m. after prayer for journey mercy.... We started our journey and went all the way to Taiping, the mountain foot. B4 we left for the hike..... we had lunch.. Ofcourse we have 2 boost up b4 we start moving. At 10 sumthing we start on hiking. Not all hike.... About 10 of us went hiking. The rest bout 15 or 16 ( the ladies, children and a few men which think they can make it to the top) when up on the jeep provided. We started up in the jungle trail until 2 hikers, Esther n Andrew couldn't take it anymore. We diverted to the tar road. Both of them waited at pondok 3, as they call it for the jeep. Thank God that the jeep haven take off yet. The rest of us.. Me, Mark Chang, Zach, Uncle James Mok, Uncle Hock Soon, Uncle Teng, Lisa and two other vets whose name i don noe continued then on the tar road. We walk n walk n walk. We then split in 2 groups. The slow group n fast group. The fast group, Me Mark Chang, Zach, Uncle James and Uncle Hock Soon when ahead. We also found many shortcuts which really save us alot of energy. It was REALLY REALLY tiring to climb all the way up. After a while... Zach's tighs was cram. We then stop n help him. After a while........ Zach said he was ok so we continue walking. After walking a few meters, Zach's tighs cramed again. Again we stop. This time he said he couldn't walk so we got to carry him. With luck, there was a jeep passing us carrying some malay passengers was kind enough to gif Zach a lift up but not completely up. The jeep the brought him to the place it was suppose to stop. The rest of us continue walking n walking. We walk until we met up wif Zach who was feeling better already. We continue our journey up. After a few meters up, again the crams came. We stop and let Zach rest. There is a man n his son that is kind enough to buy us a bottle of 100 plus. We rested 4 bout an hour or less. Zach wasn't feelling any better so we have to carry him. Thank God again another jeep driver was kind enough to gif us a ride. Not Zach alone but all of us a ride to the place we were staying. Zach was lying on the jeep's floor like a dead body so when we arrive, Zach's mom was ofcourse worried. When we carry Zach out of the jeep, it was like carrying a dead body. We lay him down on a bench hoping he could recover but no. He did not. We then carried him to further inside. Not the banglow ( we were staying at a banglow there) but infront of another house there. Thank God that the ppl living in that house were doctors. So they help Zach. Then after Zach was feeling better, we walk up all the way to the banglow ( the banglow was preety deep in) . When we reach, we were really relief. The hike is bout 13 km. It took us 4 to 5 hours to hike up ( not include the 1 hour rest) . I am REALLY proud of myself cause i just can't believe it that i actually manage to hike up right to the top. When we reach the banglow, we were quite tired but not so tired bcuz of that 1 hour rest but we were REALLY hungry so we ate lunch. We started about 10.30 and reach the top about 2.30. How long was that. It was like the LONGEST walk i ever had. We ofcourse rest a while on the way up. After lunch, we showered and then we just hang arround talking, taking pictures and stuff. Amazingly after shower , i don feel tired at all. At 5 sumthing, some of the adults, actually most of the adults when for a walk and left the children and 4 of us to take care of them. There are 3 boys, Mark( my bro), Joshua and Samuel). The 4 of us: me, Zach, Andrew and Mark Chang have to keep an eye of those 3 wild boys. Really wild boys. :-) At night, we have barbeque 4 dinner. Really nice and worth coming all the way up. The super cantik views also made it worth it. After that, we had a time of worship and games then we slept. The next morning, we had breakfast and then pack up. Some of them( not including
me, Zach , Lisa, Mark Chang, Andrew and Esther) walk down so they left of earlier. The rest of us stayed back until the jeep came. While waiting, we had devotion and some time to take pictures. The jeep arrived at 10. We sat the jeep, 2 jeeps actully and have a 30 minutes ride down. As we go down, we actually saw how far we actually walk and it was SUPER FAR and now i'm REALLY REALLY REALLY proud of myself. I was thinking.... How can i actually walk up hill this far. OMG. Its so amazing. Ok, at the foot of the hill, we met up wif the group that walk down and then we left. On the way back, we stop by To eat at Restorant Lau Kai at i 4got where 4 lunch. We ate fish, frog ( my first time eating ) and some other common dishes. The fish was yummy. The frog. uhhhh. Not bad. After lunch, we went back to Mr. James Mok's place. It was bout a 2 to 3 hours drive there and from there, we depart. Thats all bout the trip. OMG it's so long. Just a 2 day and 1 night trip but so much to write. Bye bye. :-)
