CHARITY EVENT FOR ORPHANAGE

My first time as volunteers in this charity event, organised by Tacteam Malaysia. The weather was super hot, but we did enjoyed ourselves. Seeing the faces of the kids ,who are from a nearby orphanage makes our day. Yeah it was fun and nice to meet up with fellow climbers in this event.

Hope to join them again in their future events.

Since it was still Hari raya(the last day to be exact) we were encourage to wear raya  ataire. I came in my baju melayu.

I TOLD YOU SO

Just a couple days ago, I was at a wall climbing gym. I met this friend who came with a rather huge guy. He was belaying my friend, and I was with another friend. Then my friend requested me to belay his huge friend. I said ok. The belaying part was ok, but lowering I forgot to stand nearer to the all and he came down rather fast and in the process lifted me up and I had to lower myself down. Thank goodness no one was hurt..I did put my leg against the wall, but the momentum was too great and I was not able to slow down the fall. When I relate this story to sifu, I thought the incident was  rather funny, but she was not amused. Instead she gave me a telling.She did not actually says "I told you so" but it might just as well be.  However she did says never belay anybody heavier than you.  Point taken sifu.
Things to remember in such a scenario:
Always stand nearer to the wall, with one leg against the wall when lowering.
use a sand bag weight  or two (if necessary)
Turn down their request politely(for safety reasons)
