Hello all. Okay i just watched Vertical Limit and Everest today. And i end up with tears after watching Everest. Its a true event which they documented as a film. I really salute and respect their braveness and their passions. I don't think i am able to do that. Yeah hiking is not my thing. I wish i can, but i am not fit for it. It's not that i am not appreciated beauty, i was amazed by the view. I have been to Broga Hill (400m) and Teresek Hill (334m) before. Last year also me and my buddies go to Chilling Waterfall which we need to go trekking for 2 hours and cross 6 river just to reach there. It's quite tough for me because i am not into this adventurous and outdoor thing. Hahaha.
It's good that I get to see new things, be in the wild outdoors, and enjoy Allah's creations. I've done a night jungle trekking before in Pahang National Park which i've almost gave up to hear a lot of sound in the jungle. And the torchlight on my head, makes all the spider look like eyes. And it all over the place. But the best thing is i get to see reindeers hunting for food at night. Subhanallah its so beautiful. I admit that. Water rafting, river crossing, flying fox and abseiling, i've tried that. But i'm not sure wether i'm gonna do it again. Yeah i definitely want to try new things such as water rafting again, and zipline. Hehehe.
Everest, i really wanna go there, but not hiking. Maybe i can consider if helicopter may fly me up to the top of it. So i can take picture and planting a flag like what most of the successful climber do. I can't imagine how hard they force themselves to climb the Everest. It's 8848m and known as the world's highest mountain and a particularly desirable peak for mountaineers. More than 250 people have died trying to climb it . I've been struggling to climb a hill which is only 400m. I almost died. Hahahha. And i gave up for thousand time.
The Everest movie is about 8 sherpas who climbed the mountains back in 1996 and caught in a blizzard died on the mountain. To be exact the date is on 10-11 May 1996. I was 12 years old that time. Until now, they are so many people died there and the bodies remains on the mountains. The cause of death is mostly avalanche, pneumonia, brain hemorrhage, falling ice, mountain sickness, fall, exhaustion and heart attack. While i'm googling about this, i get to know that some was disappeared and the bodies is not found until today. 1 case back in 1924, George Mallory from UK climbed the mountain and disappeared. However they found the body on 1999 (surprisingly in good condition) 75 years after his expedition. Evidence suggests Mallory died from being accidentally struck by his ice axe and fall. A lot of Malaysian climber also died there.
Back in June 2013, Putrajaya Corporation (which i'm working for their subsidiary company) send a group of 13 climbers to Everest. Unfortunately our assistant engineer,Mohamad Shahrulnizam Ahmad Nazari, 25 years old, has died from acute mountain sickness while some climber is critically ill and on coma. They are stuck on the mountain, rescue evacuations impossible due to the bad weather that time. Dead, ill and stuck on Mount Everest, this is one company retreat gone wrong. Putrajaya Corporation Public Relations Senior Deputy Director, Zaharah Salamat is the main spoke person and making arrangement and coordinate rescue efforts along with the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu that time. However, the bad weather hampered the rescue mission as thick clouds prevented the helicopter from reaching the incident site. Following the tragic incident, all Malaysian climbers had canceled their plans to head to the Everest Base Camp they at the height of 4,100m when the incident happen.
And now, the main spoke person for this incident is my boss. She is the Chief Executive Officer and i'm working for her now. I respect her for her great assistance and arrangement during this case. It's a big case here in Malaysia that time. I can't imagine how stressful and sad she is.This is a heartbreaking incident. RIP to all of those affected family members and friends. And RIP to all of the unfortunate climbers. RIP to 8 sherpas on 1996 incident as well. I read again all of the conservation between Rob Hall and his wife, Jan and with Helen,Ed and Rob when he stuck on the mountain and remember the film that i just watched, I burst into tears.
Mount Everest: They climb it because it’s there but some never return! *crying :'(
