rockclimbing ;D
rockclimbing ;D
yay!
i rockclimbed today!
so happy!=D
was really fun!
yups.
really enjoyed myself.
i climbed 7 times.
but on different walls of course!
lyk duh!
okay.
so the only person that i knew was Ivan, my neighbour.
even though he was my neighbour,
i didnt know him well...
yupps.
so i just went out with 30 over ppl, whom i all dunno!
seems really scary eh?
lyk you are all alone.
in the beginning i was lyk deamn quiet,
so unlyk me!
im usually very extroverted.
but with lyk so many ppl arnd,
its lyk,
you USUALLY would not lyk to step out of your comfort zone lah.
so i guess thats why i was so quiet!
but at least in the end i tried to make friends,
or at least get to know ppl.
i was lyk randomly put into a group of 4 ppl,
3 of whom i dunno.
and the other me!
so we kindof got to know each other lah.
so i think i can rmb only lyk 1 or 2 names.
which i guess shd be quite a lot lah
33% or 66%
very good in my opinion.
yup.
so the rock climbing started!
and it was really fun i tell you!
so being introverted, for the spur of the moment, [does such a phrase exist or am i making it up?]
i didnt want to start first.
so i think i was one of the last few to rockclimb lah.
but nvm.
it was quite fun.
in fact,
i did it once and then took a short break
and someone else asked me to rockclimb again.
so i was lyk
no harm doing again lah.
so i went up and came down.
isnt that always the case??
yeah.
then after that,
i wanted to be challenged even more
so i decided to go and try the next wall,
intermediate level i think.
we were then divided into two groups.
1 and 2.
and then further divided into two subgroups.
we were doing different activities,
concurrently.
so for our group {which was 2}:
we were made to rockclimb, blindfolded,
but of course, with the help of ppl giving you directions.
so we gave directions to help each other out
but towards the end we lyk kindof lyk stopped lah.
but some ppl were lyk reaally fast!
i was a bit the slow but i beat my opponent,
at least!
yeah.
so as we climbed up,
we had to depend on our frenz to give us directions on where to go.
yup.
so the winners had to compete with each other
so the fastest timed one would win.
and guess what i got?
i got second!
...from the bottom.
lol.
what did i learn from this experience?trusting in each other is really important.
if we do not trust in them and just lean on our own understanding,
we will just take a longer way,
and take a longer time.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding,
in all your ways acknowledge him
and he shall direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-7 (i think)
okay.
then after that,
we swopped sides
and this was our challenge:
in a group of three,
we are connected to each other by a rope
and we are supposed to climb up all the way,
supporting each other.
so as it was,
i was the LONER again.
cuz lyk ppl didnt know me well
so i went last
while the others made their own teams.
X(
so i eventually formed a team,
ivan, someone else and i.
so, we tried a few times
and didnt succeed.
in the end,
ivan didnt join us
and was the two of
us.
we tried
and tried
but
didnt manage to succeed lah.
i guess i was tired.
what did i learn?
All for one and one for All.
If one person falls,
everyone falls.
but if we support each other,
we SHOULD be able to complete the challenge.
we are all part of one family.
if one of us falls we will all crumble.
in the end i attempted the intermediate wall again
but from a different part of the wall.
the instructor said that i have an agile body
and that it is good in rockclimbing.
i wished i could rockclimb more often!
hhas.
as if thats going to happen.
yup.
so the rock climbing trip had really been an enriching one
and one that you could bring home learning points!
thats what i feel is the most important in any activity!
yeah.
so im at my godma's house now
cuz my parents are away.
so
i should go and play with my sister and godsister!
so
bye!
Add colours to your life!!
