MILK AND HONEY.

A week ago,
dad said:
Nic,
I'm going to hiking next Monday,
not this coming Monday,
next Monday.
You wanna join?

Hiking?
Yeah of course.
I love outdoor activities!
People around Nicole,
who doesn't know Nicole love outdoor?
Who doesn't know Nicole love to do exciting stuffs?
I simply say a yes to daddy,
and I am booked.

On 3 days before,
which is Friday.
I went to breakfast with grandparents.
We went for seafood noodle,
and I ate prawn.
My close friend will know I am allergic to prawn.

Even Sunday I refused to go to church.
But end up dad force me to,
and I went there.
Glad that I went there,
I love that cutey Greece pastor.
He is not tall or strong,
he is just normal.
But the jokes he shared,
is funny.
Thanks Pastor Dean.
(His Greek name is longer than anyone else.)

And then here comes today.
I slept at 8 yesterday night,
and woke up around 2 am and then I never lay a finger on my bed.
I was waiting waiting waiting and waiting for some one.
It's a real pain in the ass,
I did not talk to him.
I am kinda upset.
But it doesn't matter much,
I should get use to it.

6 AM morning,
I cook myself a CQYD.
Just in case you don't know what is it:

This is a lame picture taken few days ago,
ignore my face and hair.
Eyes on the instant noodle.
That's what I cook for myself this morning!

And then I shower,
and then I make-up.
Yeah sure did,
I make-up and wore my blue lens.
I know I know,
I am insane to make-up to hiking and climb those bloody rocks.
But you know,
as a girl,
I take some pictures of course,
and if without make up...
Not yeng already lorh..
No else girl as pretty as me liao lorh!
Cause I am the only girl who know what to use,
to prevent my make-up from melting together with the sweat.

Around 7 plus,
dad woke up and busy packing.
And then we took the lift,
to the car park.
And then we were on our way to Bukit Melawati!
Or whatever similar name,
'cause I forgot the name.

Forget about the details and just skip.
Okay,
we shall start at:
Hiking!

I will not write every single detail,
I will just tell the part I think it's inspired.

I am so glad that dad decided to go with me,
dad always stop me from doing exciting stuffs.
He was very worried about me,
when I was standard 6 or form 1,
I went to a camp.
And that was the first and last time I went hiking.

Okay,
we started.
We walk by our feet of course,
the first minutes I step into the bloody Bukit I was like:
Uhh..
I should go home.
That was the thought in my mind.
But then,
I have no choice isn't it?
If I give up just like this,
I will miss a chance to be with daddy,
and I will stay in the car and wait for them?
Hell no.

And very stupid me,
I forgot to warm up.
And the steps are real big,
and soon my legs was a little over stretch.
But sooner or later,
it's better.
After 15 minutes of walking some natural 'stairs' I guess.

I am not going to tell the details!

And then I think we were almost half way already,
starting to climb upper upper and upper.
Those bloody rocks is sharp!
When you climb,
you have to grip somewhere you think it's 'gripable',
and then your feet have to step on somewhere you think it's safe.
Remember not to use your hand to pull yourself up,
use your feet to push you up.
Your hand can't afford the weight by pulling,
so just use your damn feet.
Do not look down,
make sure the step you're stepping are safe before stepping on it.
Some rocks are weaken already.
Don't panic,
slowly one step and then another step.

Yeah I know I sounds like I did great.
But nope!
Tell you more later.
I am just sharing what dad and Kuay and another Kit told me.
Let's share our group picture:
[IMG]http://img378.rockyou.com/imagehost/13/13694/13694121/13694121_5e11a0e81225135115_m.jpg[/IMG]
It was the starting.
Yeah only two girls,
and I am the youngest among them.
They are mostly my dad's colleague.
In front of me is my dad with contact lens,
and then in front of dad is Kuay.
And the guy who is sitting beside(left) of the girl in the middle is kit.
He is an expert.

Dad was very annoying.
HAHA!
He care about me too much,
its like every step I moved,
he yelled:
Nic,watch out!
or
Nic,be careful!
or
Nic,slowly!

I am going to tell you every single detail,
now I will skip to the hardest part.
Man,
It was the best yet worst decisions I have made!
This:

Climbing down with that robe!
My both hands was totally red 'cause I have to support my weight with my both hands!
And slowly,
step by step from rock to rock.;

There is a easier way to our destination.
Dad keep on asking me to go to the easier way!
But I made my own decision and I tell dad:
I am going where you are going,
don't shoo me away.

That is not the main reason.
The main reason is,
I don't wanna miss any part.
I don't know will I come again,
(I keep repeating I will not but who knows?)
If it is the truth,
I wanna be proud and tell everyone,
Nicole gone thru all the toughest part!

There are many of us,
but everyone went to the easier way!
Only me, Kuay Kit and Daddy.
And those guys with nuts,
where were them?
They look for an excuse to run off,
they said people are too slow,
they are going to the easier way,
which is faster.
So what?

You might be waiting in front,
waiting for us.
But I fought my fear,
climb down with only a robe.
You guys might be faster,
but you guys lost.
Not to me,
not to daddy.
To your fear.
Your fear of hurt,
your fear of height and your fear of death.

This is the picture dad took while we were waiting for the robe.
I like this fake smile on my face.
The sweat of me and my messy hair.
They are the symbol of working hard.
I am gonna put this picture in my room!

[IMG]http://img338.rockyou.com/imagehost/13/13694/13694353/13694353_aad33ee31225136530_m.jpg[/IMG]
Kuay was helping me,
and everyone cheer me.
Also those unknown!
I am a sixteen-years-old girl,
if it was you,
will you take the risk or just simply walk to the destination with a easier way?

And what made them fear wasn't the height only,
and also the accident happened there.
Someone fell off from there to the lowest place.
It was half way which means the top already!
If I am not mistaken,
she's a girl.
She is now save,but comma I guess.

There is two times,
to climb down the robe.
But the first is the hardest!
The second one nothing.

This is the only picture,
you can't see how hard to climb the rocks here.
Cause when Kuay got this picture,
I am there already.
You can see daddy's behind of me.

[IMG]http://img341.rockyou.com/imagehost/13/13694/13694606/13694606_587e6bf21225137809_m.jpg[/IMG]

These pictures are the view from the higher part of the Bukit.

Let's continue.
And then very very very sadly,
my toes are hurt.
Because I did not cut my nails,
and it hurts a lot.
Until when we were going down,
my feet are in pain.
I have some walk very slowly,
everyone else cut my line.
Dad suggest to carry me,
but I said no!
I came up by myself,
and I will go down by myself.
Dad was really sam tong..
You know why?
Cause every move I made was torturing.
I keep my mouth close,
cause I don't want dad to hear me screaming in pain.
Every step was killing me,
killing me slowly.

And finally,
we made it.
Dad was so impress.
He said he is very proud of me.
He have always been proud of me.
Everything.
Cause I am who I am.
Dad is some kind of real Chinese man.
He don't give me any compliment no matter how hard I tried or
whatsoever result I get.
He did not tell me well done,
when I got the gold metal of 4x100 last year.
He did not when the teachers tell him:
Nicole did a great job.
After the net ball competition she ran to the badminton court
for the competition with her huge badminton bag.
She was so tired and she lost by only a point.
And right after the badminton competition,
she went for 4x100.

Dad did not say a word.
He nudged.
That's all.
But I know in his heart,
he has always proud of me.
I am his pride.
I am very smart.
Just like him.

When I was 9,
I have to choose activities in school.
I planned to join chess club,
cause I am good in chess.
I mean was.
And one of my classmate's bone was broken,
he could not take any sport club.
And the teacher in charge put me into volleyball club,
and the guy to chess club.
And since after the first day I learn volleyball,
the coach put me into the school team.
And in 3 years I represent the school,
I got two gold and one silver.
And this made me the girl leader of volleyball school team.
Dad never come to any of my competition.
Never say a word when I got the silver or even gold metal.

When I was 12,
my UPSR year,
my dad wants me to get into a private school.
And I went to the test,
I simply fill up with answers.
And then I went home.
Few days later,
the result is out.
Dad checked,
and I am in the first class.

Dad keep on saying I won't pass,
but in his heart,
he knew it.
He knew I will make it.
He was proud that his daughter is in the first class.

Until my secondary school life,
I was choose to sing in the choir.
There are two thousands of pupils,
and I am one of the three person who is chosen.
Dad did not say a word,
but I knew he is proud of me.

When I was just a fresh man,
I went for an English elocution competition.
And I get in the final very easily.
And I was one of the top 5 in the school,
dad did not say a word,
not even a nudge.

But today,
dad said he is very proud of me.
He is very happy that I did not give up.
(He thought I will give up very soon.)
He said I was so good,
I took the risky way to go.
Even better than those nutless guy.
If you understand what I mean by nutless.

Yeah,
I might be the slowest!
I might be the youngest!
So what?
I made my dad proud and I did not rest at all when I was going down.
No doubt I was in pain.
But I was very slow already,
I don't wanna waste my times anymore.

Hiking is similar with life.
You're going up and down.
No matter how high you've been,
until the end,
you still have to go down.
Yeah it might be tiring,
but what to do?
Your life is started,
you can't just simply end it.
Unless,
you wanna jump down.
And this will cause you death.
Yeah we have no choice to be born or not,
but we have our choice to choose the risky way or the easier way.
And every step we make,
we should be very careful.
And yeah,
Nicole got home safely.
But there is a lot of fault step I have made.
I stepped on some rocks I should not step on.
What I gotta do is just remember not to step on it next time.
;]

If you are planning on a hiking trip,
please don't go to this Bukit.
It is hard for first time hiker.

Lastly,
share some nice pictures of me:
