Dense or Depth.

Jungles, leeches, sunburn, swamp and sweat.

Experience really did taught you the means to move on. Learning something from bitter is somewhat like to get its sweetness.

"Crap, where the hell am I?" is the first question when I arrived at the starting points. Roads are barely don't look like roads but more like jungle tracks. Welcome to Perak. Somewhere in Perak. The place was pretty much surrounded by hills and trees.

It is backbone of Malaysia, the Titiwangsa Mountains. Foods we eat are rationed. We're used to sharing, so it's no problem. On the second day itself, the expedition starts. It's 0400H, still dark and the villagers nearby are still sleeping. Sometimes you hear dogs howling for nothing in the middle of the night. I woke up on 0230H for guarding tents. Up until there, I couldn't sleep anymore. The villagers open up their doors just to see us walking up in one line. We were told to walk in tactical, in one line. We have to stay close with the people in front of us. If they're running, then we gotta run. Gotta catch them up.

Well. It's a long way up. Carried two bags of my group with my own bag. And hell it was really heavy.

Then rafting is the place where I got sunburn. Shit, it hurts. :D

But all these days. I finally able to understand why each one of us wouldn't stay long. It's because when we are in trouble, some of us wouldn't carry on other's burden on our backs.

So thinking it seriously, I remembered I arrived to the place where they called it "Tanah Merah" on crossing the border between Perak and Pahang. In front, the other team is waiting for the people behind. Behind me, is the people who'd carried the sick people. Me? I'm in the middle of nowhere where I'm just alone, walking. Goddamn hikes.

Yeah, if you're talking about it, I can't even see their tracks and any signs of them in front or near me. It's just absurd. But I understand my job was the "connector" between the people in front and the back. haha!

But from here, I can see that when there's hardship, it tests on how patient you are and how conscious you are. It's just awesome to see how have you pushed yourself to the limit and finally you are reaching over there making it to the top.

That's all I could say. For today. Anytime I'll continue. Roger out.
