Today is a tiring day for me and my platoon mates I would say. In the morning, help to load and unload the bed frames and mattress to the NOK bunk. Had to carry them up the tonner then drive up there to unload and assemble. The bed frames are really bulky and heavy. Need 2-3 ppl to carry. Spend almost the whole morning doing on the same task. After all the carrying and assembling, our uniform is already soak with our sweat. Went for rest and prepare for the afternoon hike.

In the afternoon, we went to climb the Bukit Shahbandan which is at Jerudong. At first, heard from the rest that the hill is very steep and quit tiring to climb. After going thru the hike, I totally agreed with them. At the foot of the hill, after photo taking, we started our hike. At the beginning of the hike, the slope is already very steep liao. Was a bit sian when i saw the slope. Use a lot of strength just to complete the first part of the route. After that we rested for about 15 mins before continuing our hike. As we go on, the slope become more steep and difficult to climb. We keep on climbing and climbing until we reach the mid of our route. After that, the route become more relax with lesser steep slope to overcome. Then came the killer zone. As we walk down, we reach a spot where we need to climb up a dozen of steps to reach the other place and did i mention that it will get more steeper as we climb up? By the time, I complete the steps, I'm completely shack out. For the rest of the hike, I just keep on going not thinking much and just following the rest. Luckily, the remaining route is not that long. By the time we complete the hike, its already 5 plus. Take a short break, do some head count and off we go, on the way back to our camp. What a tiring day I would say. :)

Btw, my flight details has ben confirmed. Will be going back to Singapore on the 30th May via BI chartered flight. Its a night flight, ETA @ Singapore at 2300 hr. Glad that can go back 1 day earlier. Can't wait to see you all!! :)
