The Best Day In My Life - Hiking
I spend most of my time either watching television the entire day and play table tennis in the evening. In fact, as long as my memory strectches, I have been spending my leisure in the rather unexciting manner until last Sunday.
It turned out to be the best day I ever had. I did not live to regret it! It was a Sunday and I were dressed in my hiking attires, much to the surprise and amusement of my parents. I told them that their perspective of me as lazy bones and unadventurous would change forever. They smiled indulgently.
The famous Air Hitam trekking area was fantastic! There were many joggers and fitness buffs as well as tourists who converge there every day. There were clear tracks that would enable trekkers to reach the summit without getting lost. In fact, at certain points, there are stalls and rest areas where one can even sit down for a light meal and drinks. I did not make any stop as I were determined to reach the summit. The mountain was not too high anf thankfully the dry weather had ensured the tracks were not slippery.I saw many exotic birds and other creatures along the way, even snakes. Thankfully, I had brought a long stick and a can of pepper spray in case I were attacked by wild animals. I didn’t need to worry. No wild creatures along the way tried to attack me nor were there any encounters with slithery creatures! I also feasted my eyes on beautiful and strange looking flowering plants and even picked some flowers to my mum.
We reached the summit two hours later. The scene was simply breathtaking! It was covered with light frost and the weather was rather chilly. But I were sweating and actually enjoyed the cool air. Famished, I gobbled my sandwiches with my family. After relaxing, I and my family made our long way down to the foot of mountain.
It truly had been a truly memorable family gathering and the best day in my life.
