that's celine. the one who brought me to camp 5. she's now a member and qualified to belay people, after going for some trainings. she's now able to bring in first timers for free (but have to pay for the equipments which comes to bout RM20 per person). so that day she brought benroy and me (the 1st 2 people she's bringing in). but i wasn't prepared to climb - mentally since she told me like pretty last minute. so i said i'll follow but won't climb. so she brought her best friend, wan ching.
for hours, i stood around, watching them climb. they started with the simplest walls, and finally to the 15m one. highest and of an upper level. after they climbed, celine asked me to climb. by right i'm not allowed to cuz i didn't pay for anything - the equipments etc. i didn't even register myself. so i refused cuz i don't wanna get caught, i didn't warm up, this is my 1st time, and i didn't want the 15m wall to be my first! i mean, which noob starts with the 15m wall?! but she kept insisting and it was really tempting so..why not? hee.
i wasn't even dressed to climb! haha.
my 1st round was pretty good for a noob like me. no slips, no breaks, no rest and according to celine - "good!", benroy - "wah very pro ar!", and wanching - "u very fast! faster than benroy!". ok la, i should be satisfied..aye? *prouds* :) it has been years since i worked out!!
after a while, i was asked to climb again. this time, david (guy who used to work there, celine met him there) was to belay me.
i didn't make it this time. forgot my chalk bag and hands were too slippery. went half way and couldn't continue. came down. but this dude refused to let me down cuz he wanted to get some info outta me (my age). it wasn't nice being bullied and hung there for what seemed like forever...i was whining and shaking my legs like a baby.
so we were there for 7 hours. long day. but it was fun just being with these kids. :) oh and i haven't used my free-first-timer pass. whe! ;)
thanks gal!
