I'm a climber :)

Figure 8 loop.
Haul loop.
Belay.
Carabiner.
Chalk bag.

Not necessarily terms used everyday, but I learned them all today! Hee finally got the chance to learn how to do proper rock climbing, with an instructor and everything haha. Sorry, it's just always been a dream of mine to properly learn rock climbing, but due to certain issues, tak pernah berkesempatan.

So when it finally happened, I was like HELL YEAHHH!

He taught us about the equipment, techniques, emergency calls, communication semua tu lah. Nothing too hard, just enough so that we can learn how to handle it by ourselves, when we're ready :)

Had so much fun. There's this feeling of achievement when you get to the top of the wall you're climbing. Like you look down and you see the distance you climbed and it's like ohmygosh I climbed all the way to the top! A sense of accomplishment just runs through, it's really cool.

Was hoping to be able to do it more frequently, tapi nak masuk semester 2 dah so maybe I'll have to spare a few weekends so I'll be able to practice some more. Hopefully I'll get to do it again before college starts.

I don't have any photos coz it's all in the camcorder and I can't seem to find the USB cable oh well. So here's a picture of some girl who I currently hold a lot of respect for coz what she's doing is bloody hard.



Hey who knows, that could be me one day.
Cita-cita haha.

Near perfection

Say what you will, but that right there is sheer beauty :)

Let's climb walls

Putrajaya Challenge Park aka Taman Cabaran Putrajaya. Been wanting to check it out since we did the flying fox kat Menara KL last year. Abang2 senior tu kata kat situ lah training center untuk sape2 yang minat aktiviti lasak, rock climbing, BMX etc. Haha.


This shot is like 1/4 of the place kot. Yeah it's HUGE.

We wanted to try out the rock climbing. Coz usually bila2 ada peluang kat outdoor events we're the first ones in line haha. So we thought we'd be able to work with the pros at the first session, you know with proper shoes, harness, rope semua tu lah. Turns out, you only get to do that once you've had proper training. Oh well.

So for beginners, they have this thing called bouldering, which is like the beginner wall. Tak payah harness, kasut pun optional. It's basically for you to get the feel of climbing the rocks and all.

And if you think you wanna go pro, if you really want to climb all the big walls, then you can sign up for the training session. They teach you the do's and the don'ts. But mainly the don'ts. Then you're free to come and climb the walls whenever you like. Macam bes je :)





Beginners, free style bby :)


Yes that's my Dad climbing the wall coz he's just awesome like that haha.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some lessons before I have to go back to college. Hee can't wait :D

Thoughtless

Takde masa lah nak layan semua "NEGATIVE INFLUENCES" sekarang ni. Sumpah takde masa. Penggal ke-2 nak mula dah, jadi saya nak pastikan saya mulakan penggal ini dengan hati yang tenang dan jiwa yang tenteram, dengan harapan kali ini akan lebih baik. Semuanya lebih baik.

Yes, my life is moving, the earth is still spinning. It hasn't stopped, and you're not at the center of it. I'm doing absolutely fine thank you very much. Yeah, glad I realised that you're just not worth it.

HAHA TAK MARAH.
I'm just kidding,
but not really.
