3rd day of TB cycle

Date: 13th February 2008
Morning: - ??? Celcius (its negative cause all the tree branches are all covered up with crystal white frozen snow!
Afternoon: -1.9 celcius (finally remembered to check on the thermometer)

Woke up at 8.15 am! I forgot to set my alarm! And ya, thank God I could wake up just on time! My groupmates were going to leave at 8.30am..So, just got up, and took my jacket with my bag, rush down to third floor to meet them! Phew, just in time! hahaha…

Like before, took the bus…

This is the long yellow bus we took, till the final stop of the bus, everyone get down and walk the way to the hospital….

That’s the way we are heading on…But before that, we got to wait for TINg who lived in Hostel 4, so that we can walk together, don’t want to leave him alone, more people more merrier ma..haha..

Looking at the far far road away there, waiting patiently for the bus with our long waited groupmate TING……

Teo, bryan and Johnny boringly waiting…hahaha..me? walking around, looking for something interesting to feed my camera…huahahhaa….After a few more minutes, ting arrived….

The view along the way….well, although Johnny had already took the pictures, but I still want to take it, cause the view is too charming……

Walking on the railway …took us 30 minutes walk to reach the hospital…

The view again….

Reaching the bridge now! After this bridge, we got to turn left, where the steep sloping ground situated…huahahha…fun fun!!

Taking a photo on how slow they crossing the bridge! Teo and bryan were newbies today, cause they just came back from their Euro trip yesterday….While me, walk much more faster than them and waiting at the other end to take some interesting photo on them….hahaha…teo turning around waiting for Johnny and bryan, while Johnny and Bryan all looking attentively at their feet not to let their feet stick at the hole between the bridge..hahaha…

Oh no! Bryan stopped! Stopped walking??? Why?? Phobia? Hmmm….well, he stopped that for a few minutes, and we kept on encouraged him to continue walking…if no, I got to take photo of him….
After a long encouraging from us, he finally made his move…phew…..

Know why he phobia? Cause there’s no more wood between those horizontal gaps….But the gaps are not big enough for you to fell into ….so no worry bryan…Kept going!..Finally, he crossed the bridge successfully…..Hooray!!

Hooray! Here there is!! The sloping ground! The steep way, like a small mountain..hahaha…
They all stop at the top there, figuring out what’s the best way to get down! Where was me? As usual, I’m faster than them, so I got down already liao lor…now just waiting to take interesting photo!!

This is how bryan got down…..Is it a good way?

Ting fall down while getting down, cause he ran down and Bryan didn’t hold him tight enough while getting down….Thank God, he didn’t injured any part of his body…Remember to look at Teo behind, slowly getting down from the top…Now left Johnny alone at the top! Hmm..how’s he going to do now?

Johnny slide down again!! Like yesterday…sit down and slide all the way down, like the sliding board in the playground…hmmm……is this the best way? I think this way is the safest, where risk of injury almost 0%! Well done Johnny!

Okay, now another mini steep mountain! This one is steeper…Guess what ? This time, Johnny was the second person to get down, who’s the first one? The one taking the picture la, which was ME! Hahaha…
How I got down so fast? I have my own technique which was run all the way down….they all doesn’t want to try my way, cause they have enough skill..hehehe..kidding!...

Here there was, Johnny sliding down, like playing the sliding board in the playground! While others still stayed up there….wondering if they want to follow johnny’s way..

Teo decided not to follow johnny’s way…he had his own way, holding to the tree besides…

Lets see how bryan get down….

Ting came down by running down, after Teo and Johnny had promised to hold (tahan) him cause it’s hard for him to stop after running down from the top…that’s the way I use to get down, but I can stop myself slowly la..hahaha…

This time, with 2 people tahan him, he didn’t fell down, bryan still getting down very slowly…all of us were waiting for him…

Finally he got down ….now…that’s all for the climax part of the journey!

After the climax, we got to walk for a few kilometers again to the hospital…

After 35 minutes of walk, we reached hospital safely….took the photos of these 2 cats..notice the difference between Russian cats and Our kuching cats??

This is our tuberculosis teacher~ a nice, funny old man, guess how old is he?? EIGHTY!! 80!! Years old!
He doesn’t smoke and drink…and now he still very healthy, and very willingly passing down his knowledge to the next generation!
He can speak a bit of Malay such as, BAGUS, HARI INI SEJUK, SELAMAT BERJAYA! Hahaa.

A dustbin made by paper…hahaha..interesting?

Teacher’s table…

Class finished at around 11.30 am….well, after that, it took us quite long time to decide whether to take the long way back to hostel, OR to take the 2 buses back to hostel? Ting and I decided to take the long way, cause we want to have fun climbing up the hill again..hahaha… and Johnny was doubting whether to come with us cause Bryan didn’t want to take the long way, but he also didn’t know the way to the bus stop…after my long persuading words, they all finally agree to follow us to use the long way!

Started our new journey back to hostel, cause we were using the other shorter way of the long way…where we can avoid one of the hill….

Saw this mark, guess whose marks is that? Dogs? Or Bear? Hahaha…

Saw this also …..

The shorter way is just besides the river, where straight up to the bridge….The river hasn’t frozen fully…still can see the small lake of water in the middle…

This way has a more slippery hill…..which means, less snows, less snows friction and it’s harder for you to get up….

Bryan, Johnny and teo were the first tree to try to get up the newly explored hill! Hahahaa..while ting used the other side which had more snows on it….

Ehhh?? Why were they reversing back down??? Cause it’s really too slippery to get up…..so they all reversing back down and decided to use Ting’s way….

Ops, bryan sitting down slowly to prevent falling …Johnny tried to help bryan to get up cause it’s very slippery and hard for bryan to get up himself…

meanwhile, teo was trying ting’s way to get up..

Teo almost reached the top ! Johnny still observing on how teo got up there….while bryan still trying to stand up despite of the slippery ground…

Bryan stopped down there for a few minutes again….afraid of the hill, while we? Again kept on giving him the courage to walk up, to climb up! Kept on teaching him how to get up by stepping on the snows cause the snowy part wasn’t slippery….and also holding to the tree besides ……After a long long courage, he finally took out his first step! Phew~ Now, just kept on going!!

Good job..now just kept the same way getting up!!

Almost there bryan!! Kept going!!

JOHNNY : Bryan, now, give your hands to me!! Trust me!! I will not let you fall down….give your hands to me now!!
Ahhaha…a very very fun climbing experience..hahahaha….teo was so eager to take the video on how bryan climbing up but too bad, I don’t think my camera memory can afford it cause video took lots of space of the memory stick…anyway, the pictures are good enough…ahhaha..

The railway again…everyone was looking at their steps….

The long way of railway…

I found a new way, a small road, so I got down from the railway and use the road to walk, everyone followed me and complain the road wasn’t a good way cause it’s slippery..

Lets stop a while to enjoy the scenery there….hahaha..

Finally, we reached the more proper road, with no frozen ice there…

The houses along the road…here is actually like a housing estate….all houses around…

At the middle of our way back to the bus stop, we saw the mashrut (Russian word for yellow van transport), we waved on it and got up there, phew…don’t need to walk back to the bus stop liao..ahhaha…

Finally reach our hostel!! Hahaha….
