We had that memorable discussion from naturalism to capitalism to socialism to the idea of evil to creationism to genetics to the power of the Holy Spirit to Christian's purpose on Earth to idea of church as an institution to corruption. And also, the true meaning of Christmas.
Then the few of us drunkards planned and talked about a camping trip at 'Mt. Panorama'. The PastorEater even brought his whole camping gear out. Chris just scaled Mt. KK so he objected with two feet in the air, that Panorama is a mountain. It's a darn hill. "Bukan gunung, bukit!" Big difference, but it was all the same to PastorEater who was drunk and craved for adventure/ something constructive.
PastorEater, "What movie is that....man..... I haven't been to the movies in... like....man.... let's do something more constructive man!"
We went the next day, despite the rain and parental objection. Strange enough the older they are the more objections they faced. PastorEater's mum and wife scolded him. But, me being the youngest, had my mummy merely ask me 'now? okay'.
So we reached the 300m peak in 40mins. Alternated to carry 10litres of drinking water. It was 1am when we got up there. According to Chris it would be tons easier if not cause of that hugeass bottle we have to take turns to carry.
But if not cause of the water, we wouldn't be able to wash our hands tirelessly, wash our culinary, cook noodles and make coffee for all. Besides noodles and coffee, we even had chips and bakua! Beat that!

Harun and I even caught a shooting star!

Coming up this March after my Deutschland lessons, a few cool friends from school will be heading up. Hopefully a Tioman, Lembing, Balok trip will come to fulfilment.
I can't wait!
ps. PastorEater, Chris, Mayhem and Harun are not figments of my imagination nor figures of my creation. They were comrades whom I was fortunate to share the adventure with.
