I will try my very best to....
so here it goes....
Day 4
The final and last day of the whole ACE experience....
some were happy some were sad...
I guess i was rather neutral...
So it was the last activity the one i fear most....
GUNUNG LUMBAK....
shivers.....lol...
so we setted off straight after breakfast....
bus ride was windy like last year....
though rocky we still fell asleep...


So it was about 45 mins later that we reached the foot of lumbak....
and we embarked on our journey after some simple stretching....
Mr chua was the teacher-in-charge...
Rakit was the instructor....
jon chen jon soh and rahimm were the ACEs....
the route seems familiar yet foreign....
its a weird feeling...
the 3 ACEs who have climbed it for the 6th time...
would probably feel climbing a breeze...
but certainly that was not the case for me and some others...
though i have climbed till the halfway last yr...
but it some how still was very tiring....
I struggled....
I wasnt the first...
nor was i one of the last...
i swear 2.4 on the track is much easier than climbing up....
all the gravity acting on u...
as though pulling u down with all its might....
finally i reached the midpoint...
I was tired i admit..

I decided to do what i did last yr...
to stay at midpoint...
call me coward if u want...
its just to play safe....
I probably wouldnt have the energy to come down if i go all the way up...
besides someone has got to stay behind and look after the weaker ones...
so might as well....
in this way i wouldnt deprive anyone of going up for the scenery...
So they left and the squirrels came....
hahahaha....ya the squirrels came....
actually it was only 1 squirrel la...hahaha.....



So after the squirrel left I decided to do something smart....
or rather dumb....
I call it smart anyway....
which is to jump into the rather inviting pool...
we were feeling rather hot....
I didnt know whether we were allowed to do so...
but i guessed it's no harm....
just to cool down a little...
and kill some time....
besides the pool is shallow...
and i was there to safe them if anything happens...
so ya we jumped in....
it was simply SHIOK.....
cooling...refreshing...
finally a "bath" after 4 days....
2 of my force ppl joined me...
and we had fun....


So in order not to get caught....
we only stayed in the water for like half an hour...
before coming out to dry ourselves....
we were soon quite dry....
though still wet...
the ppl who came down from the top were wet too....
just that theirs were sweat mine's water...XD











So we took the bus back....
had no chance to spend my ringgit...
since the stalls only open in the afternoon...
what lazy vendors...lol....
was tired....pretty much fell asleep....
reached the campsite....
many tents were already down...
some were having lunch....
we were really short of time....
it was very rush....
settled lunch quickly...
and went to take down the tents...
was surprised that 1852 actually finished everything liao...
WoW....guess its the last day and they just cant wait to get home...
So once again up the bus...
this time with all our belongings...
our memories our feelings and tiredness....
in an opposite direction as Day 1 the bus drove slowly...
soon it was back to the small island again...
where everything is so clean and so familiar....
"this is home...."
"truly....."
"where i know i must be..."
"where my dreams wait for me..."
"where the river always flows..."
"this is home.."
"surely...."
"where my senses tell me...."
"this is where i won be alone....."
"cos this is where....."
"I know i m home......"
