Part 3: Looking Back at the Preparation
By michael on March 3, 2011
Like any trip to the wilderness, good preparation counts for over half of the success of the expedition. Preparing for this trip brought some sense of deja-vu to the times when I was in the mountainering club in my high school in Jakarta many years ago. The difference is that I always went to somewhere in the tropics, and I was quite a few kilograms less back then. Fortunately this trip will not be as physically demanding compared to the mountaineering trips I did (I surely hope I am right on this).

A Solemn Christmas Carol
Christmas we celebrate with peers
Calamity they suffer with tears
Lingering carol we sing
But what they hear is the malady of the dying
May Christmas spirit voyages through all lands
For us to lend our hands
So it can be strengthen
That we all are brethren
No matter how big the tides
God bless you all my friends
