im feeling very campsick again so im back here to blog ((:

sylvia has happily left to go shopping so i have no one to talk to ))):

ok anyway i want to elaborate more abt triple d!
i can still remember how edna and i looked at the structure and we were like sure cant go far wannn.
and so we targetted to just get up onto the fourth log.
no offence but after someone made a certain comment abt our target, i got kind of pissed and i became super determined to be able to reach our target.
but have to thank that person, cause yr comment was partially what gave me the pushing force to keep going (((:

ok then anyway getting up the first log was easy. second log was quite ok. after the third log i started getting the hang of it and was able to balance better. then when i pulled edna up the fourth log, i remember being like HURRAYS! but then after the fourth log was kind of tired already. and as the distance between each log gets larger and larger it becomes more and more challenging to climb up each one.

alvina advised us not to look down while we were up there cause she, together with yihan were the first pair to get up. OHYARR have to thank my belayer for holding tight throughout and giving me that sense of security and making sure that i did not fall(((: ok dont digress. anyway i think it wasnt the height that was scary, it was the fear of losing yr balance that really freaked me out.

i attempted to climb up the fifth log but when i finally managed to put one leg over it and pull myself up, (to my dismay) i fell over and got flipped to the other side. but luckily my right leg caught the fourth log that was below me and i did not fall that badly, not considering that i was doing a split up there and my head together with good old helmet was trapped under my hand which was unfortunately trapped under my left leg.

ahahaha can still remember how pple down there watching screamed while i was laughing away. THANKS BELAYER AGAIN(((: sorry edna for giving u such a shock((((: anyway it was COMPULSORY to climb back on to the other side so i had to muster up all the strength i had left to pull myself back onto the fifth log.

so when we both successfully got onto the fifth log. both of us were like dead beat. so we stood on the fifth log and chit chatted while admiring the scenery up there. then later i attempted to pull myself up the last log but the distance was too far away and my leg wasnt long enough such that i am able to lift my leg up and hook it properly around it so that i can pull myself up, and also i didnt have enough strength to pull myself up already. and i was already thinking of giving up.

but i think edna was reluctant to give up. got edna to try climbing up first but couldnt. so tried the using leg as a step up method, but my track pants were too slippery so edna kept slipping. so i had to step on edna instead. tried a few times but failed. then we decided on giving up but louis said he wants us to try again and that we were just one step away. then was like OK ONE LAST TRY. and miraculously i suddenly had this sudden strange force and edna suddenly stood very steadily and i managed to get myself up.

then things got on frm there. and WE REACHED THE TOP! *jumps for joy*

must thank edna my dear partner for being that pillar of support throughout the whole climbing of triple d (((:

after that tania and minzhi were the last pair to climb the triple d. was belaying minzhi. MINZHI HAD TRUST IN ME (((: it was so memorable belaying minzhi larhh. chattering/whining/screaming non stop. my ears did ache. thanks minzhi.



ok practice time again. BYE.
