hello! i'm back from Mt Fuji :)


view of Mt Fuji on the bus to 5th station...


first peek of sunrise


was still 2hrs away from the summit when me and mardiah caught the sunrise


the ascend to summit was not at all steep. but it was so, soooooooooo long.


finally!!!
summit of Mt Fuji, 3776 km above sea level



vic, mama( my 10 yrs good old buddy!) and me wishing
"Happy Birthday, Singapore~!" :)

when me and mama started thinking about climbing Mt Fuji 2 months ago, i was so excited about the combination of outdoor, my buddy, and vic. afterall this is the first time my favourite hobby and favourite people came together. but, just as i've learnt back from my odac days, nothing is ever predictable when we are venturing in the great outdoors. sadly, everything turned out quite differently from what i've looked forward to and planned. well still, many precious lessons learnt. experiences like such can always bring back good laughters in years to come.

now i can put another tick to my "Life-to-do-list" :)

for me, the best part of this summer was the flower garden (hana no miyako) at yamanaka lake. you will know why when you see this pics!
