Mount KK

finally

the mount kk trainings are over

the going was tough, but with lots of encouragement almost everyone made it to the top!

now looking back, it didnt seem so tough. the friends that we've made and the fun times we've had makes it all worth it.

even though we faced some disappointments along the way (VANTAGE POINT!!) =), we still had lots of fun (the supper guy)

thanks to everyone who went for mount kk 08, it was a success...!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE

This week pictures speaks louder than words, we also saw a kingfisher which managed to catch a fish, a komodo dragon, a squirrel, a giant fish. All in one day's training. Today we trained more on stamina (distance) not height, so we were taking lots of pictures while walking =) It was a good training today. Next week's training will be a light one and the last one. MOUNT KK WILL BE THE NEXT ONE WE'LL CLIMB ALREADY.

wet training sunday

2008-02-05T11:28:00.000+08:00

Training for the youth adventure 3 on a rainy sunday afternoon was no fun, especially if its the third consecutive rainy session. But we had no choice as the climb is just about a month away and its always better to overtrain than to undertrain. Using my cybershot phone to do this movie clip:

Despite this wet blanket I can see the grit and determination on the faces of these wrpf trekkers.

ANOTHER WET TRAINING DAY!

2008-01-28T14:43:00.000+08:00

IT WAS ANOTHER WET T-SHIRT SESSION. THIRD TIME ON THREE CONSECUTIVE SUNDAYS. THE RAIN COOLED THE DAY BUT WET THE GROUND. I AM IMPRESSED THAT THE PEOPLE STILL CAME. THEY ARE WISE AS THE MARCH 7-11 IS JUST ROUND THE CORNER AND WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME FOR TRAINING LEFT.

PETER WAS ILL AND WE TOLD HIM TO STAY HOME EVEN THO HE WANTED TO COME. GABRIEL AND ZEPHANIAH TOOK THE LEAD. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH GABRIEL AND THE DECISIONS HE MADE, AND THE DIPLOMATIC FIRMNESS WITH WHICH HE HELD HIS GROUND.

AFTER THAT IT WAS DINNER AT RAILWAY MALL FOR A CHANGE. IT HAS CHANGED QUITE A BIT. WE ATE AT A NOODLE SHOP. THOUGH ONE BOWL COST ABOUT $4 IT WAS PRETTY TASTY.

ONE MONTH TO GO AND WE ARE ON THE WAY! BETTER DO 60 FLOORS STAIR-TRAINING ONCE IN THE MID-WEEK EVERY WEEK FROM NOW ON!

I'M TAKING IT TOO EASY. BETTER RESPECT THE MOUNTAIN.

Today before training it was raining a little, so we used that time to share experiences from people who went up mount kk before. So when the rain started to lessen, we started our climb up. Our huge group was separated due to different paces of different people, in total, a number of 25 people went up bukit timah hill today. And WOW, we saw many fit people, people like auntie agnes, gabriel soo, zeph, pastor thomas, ivfy, ka kit (ivfy's brother, both from another church, but great to know them). So we walked and climbed and walked and climbed and when we were finishing our tour.....a huge rain started and drenched us through.

the starting process where the rain just stopped

the meander we followed upstream. LOOK AT HOW MUDDY IT IS!!!!

OOOO...look at the rays of sunshine flitting into the forest.!

the weary travellers who travelled down the long and windy road

OUR STRONG AND MACHO LEADER!

the delicious food you get to eat after the climb

another dish

and another!

Okay this is the only picture i have of the First training session. Although i'd love to say the training was extremely easy, i found it tough at some points (okay fine, i found it extremely hard at some points)

Anyway one highlight of the training session was that some of us who were walking at a nice slow pace saw this pretty black bird (with supposed red eyes although we couldn't see it)

for those of yo who cant spot the bird, it's right in the centre of the picture. Don't mock the picture. It was taken with my phone which died soon after from lack of battery.

For more pictures and a vedio, i need people to send me the stuff!! plusss no one knows about this blog! i need to send an SOS signal! lol.
