Good Bye  ....



Welcome...

There is always first time. But what is important is who you did it for that first time.

It's amazing how things can be seem in a different ways.

First Ride after a while... taken at 0625hrs 07 Feb.
Taken with canon G 11

Back from Nepal for a week plus.. Seem short but in fact it is a distant away from me. Seen quite alot. People always asked this question :"How's your trip?". I wish I can response in an enthu mode but I just can't. To me, It just hard to describe. You got to experience it yourself. It also because day by day passed, the feeling of excitement slowly faded.

In this trip, mental is important. Fitness too, need to train before you go there. Well taken alot of pics, but just able to show a few here....

 bought my camera that week and took alot of shoots on this scene. But turn out I don't satisfied. Not the pictures not good, it is I took too much of that shots. I guess I need to learn to stop snapping at times. Snapping too much at one scene, make it like trial and error. Not Pro... haha

 
                                                                

055H, reached the summit. It was not that easy as expected especially the last stretch. I was the seventh person up on the summit (3726m). The sunrise was not that as what splendid as what I was expecting but still worth to be up there. I saw the crater and a small volcano. Heard this small volcano was formed during the eruption in 1997 and this small one just pop up thereafter. Waited 2 hours for my partner but yet to see him.

Finally I decided to went down and he just below struggle to climb up. In the end I accompanied him to the summit again.

Don't want to miss the sunset, hence I went back to the initial campsite. It was beautiful. The mountain was covered with clouds. Some guys were playing guitar at the background. I was sitting there writing and waiting for the golden moments. I looked down the cliff, it was scarely. My hair could stand ... haha

Question to ponder at that moment.... Are you missing someone or people on this mountain now? Don't be afraid to think....

Arrived at our campsite. The weather was superb cooling. We didn't get to the campsite that we intended to go as there were too many people at that area. Hence we camp at a area that was a bit lower. I'm surrounded by trees. Cool temperature and no mosquito. My partner is snoring inside the tent.

The journey up here is not that tough afterall. Sitting here watching meal to be served and the quietness of the place still as it is when during the climb.

What will be good to bring the next time I come here again? A field chair I supposed.

What I learnt today is to have patience. Do not take things for granted. Always treasured what you had back home. Alot of things we can't control  and we can control control what you can let go. The question is are you ready to let go?

One "ang moh" said at the campsite: "alot of people sure going to be a crowded on the summit. Everyone want to be the first. Yes I want to be the first. But to catch the sun not sun catch me.
