We missed last week’s training. And got to know from Jo’s email, they did one round at Bt Timah last Sunday. And heard we will be doing a bit more compared to last week.
Stressed up as i was worried that I might not be able to catch up with the group.

Meet at 3pm at visitors’ centre. Got to know Bee Har today. So today’s training is the 6 of us.

We started to walk up a slope to one of the stairs and started climbing. The stairs at BT is something like those on Mt KK. The stairs are not the normal height we find in our HDB flat. It’s higher and the ground is made of stones. Some of the grounds are uneven which cause me to be unstable when stepping on it. And it’s tough to walk on! I was actually quite ok during the 1st set of stairs. Thought this will be the only stairs we were be climbing and the rest will be on flat ground. Fat Hope! We reached the 2nd set of stairs and it’s tougher and longer. I got to push myself very hard to continue it. My heart was beating so fast during the climb. I thought of an idea… I started to count every step I take, and it make me feel not that tired. We finished the set of stairs and walked to another set of stairs. And again, we got to climb down and up the stairs. As my legs were aching, I don’t feel like continuing. But I knew that I can’t just sit there and cry, cause no matter what I do, at the end I will still need to climb to get out of BT. Chee Siang was so nice. He picked up a “white ball flower” and passed it to me. My thought is, I want to bring this “white ball flower” to higher ground so that they can grow into a new plant. Chee Siang picked a few for me and I hold it in my hand, at the same time talk to the flower to divide my mind so that I will not think of my tirness. A bit crazy looking but who cares. No one is near us. These method also work for me. I was able to reach the top holding the flower and feeling not that tired. I blowed the flower on the ground and hope it will grow into a pretty plant. The last set of stair is the toughest of all. Height of each steps are high, very uneven ground and lots of people climbing. We can’t slow down as there’s always people behind us. Done with the last set of steps, we were so tired and started walking down back to the visitors’ center.

During this training, I actually slow Chee Siang down. The rest of the group walked very fast and we were always left far behind. But he was always beside me encouraging me. Beside encouragement, determination can also made someone complete a difficult task. We just need to be determine and continue doing what we planned to do.I planned to complete every training and finally complete the main motive of the training, reach the submit of Mt KK. And I won’t want to stop halfway up the submit. Even if I can’t continue, I hope it’s due to physical and not mental. But of course I will train up my physical to make sure that it’s enough to reach the submit.

Last words : Thought of quiting in the middle of the tough training. But with encouragement from Chee Siang, I am able to complete the whole training. I will like to thank him for that. And hope I will be able to walk & climb faster for the next training. Let’s train hard together!
