The Climb of Mount Ophir
Four friends, all alike in dignity, in fair Melaka where we lay our scene…
Ok I shall cut that crap. My best friends and I had just conquered a mountain and it wasn’t even in our checklist for this year! Lol! Arif’s colleague randomly suggested mountain climbing and the rest of us were invited by Arif. It was an unplanned, unorganized but surprisingly it turned out quite well.
The four of us took a four hour train ride on Friday evening to a place called Segamat in Johore, Malaysia, got to our resort, did the necessary preparations for the climb and tried to get an early night’s rest. We woke up to have an early breakfast as we hoped to climb up and descend from the mountain before sunset.
Well the first half of the climb was chicken feet until we reached KFC…Unforgettable moments for the day. I climbed almost a vertical cliff, drank mountain water when I ran out of mineral water, got cramps which caused me to slow down the pace of everybody, saved a friend while I was resting,
felt like there was somebody following me when I was at the back of the team and most important of all…A priceless moment when I reached the summit with my best friends and got a birthday present from Arif behind a spectacular view.
It was definitely a great experience and I definitely need to train myself to catch up with the army boys. Hehehe. Thanks guys for watching my back and adding flavour to my 25th birthday.
