Harvest Festival Day 1

I did not do much today. Woke up late since I did not go to dreamland until 2.30a.m.

Was on the internet before having brunch. Just as I finished washing up, Sophia Tsen called up to ask whether I wanted to go to Maple Café for lunch.

I read a bit after lunch but the hot weather made me fell asleep while reading. Had a good snooze before waking up to have two pieces of sandwiches.

Before I went out of the house to go to Bukit Padang, I checked the temperature in my room and it was 31 degrees Celcius.

This time I started hiking using the longer route alone around 4.10p.m. CTY had gone back to Teluk Intan two days ago for twelve days break.

These were the beginning of the stairs leading up to the mini hill which I used last Sunday

The Water World is very near the stairs leading up to the longer route

I reached the top of the mini hill at 4.50p.m. I was still breathing hard but as least I did not feel as tired as using the stairs six days ago. I sweated a lot and my t-shirt was wet.

I rested for about ten minutes at the top of the mini hill before hiking up the top.

I arrived at the top at 5.20p.m. and rested for about ten minutes before going downhill using the longer route I came up from, instead of using the stairs as I did last Sunday.

Going downhill

I met Dr. Christine Lee’s dad as I was about to reach the top of the mini hill. He is such a fit gentleman, 69y.o. who goes hiking almost everyday and each time hiked around five times up the mini hill using the stairs and to the top as well. On April Fool’s Day this year, he conquered Mt. Kinabalu again. I forgot to ask him how many times he has been up there but I'm sure Chris can answer that.

Further on I met Ar. Steven Fung’s wife (forgot her name) and their son. We chatted a bit.

As I proceeded to go down hill from the mini hill using the longer route I came up from, I met Robert Sheen. I chatted with him the longest.

Once again I thank God I do not feel tired and my body is not painful.
