            Assalamualaikum wbt, everyone. Today's blog will be written in English and of course with some grammar mistakes. Basically, I want to write in English because I want to practice my English and writing skill. I want improve my vocabulary as well, as dictionary is just by my side. Hehehe. So, let's get started!

            As mentioned earlier in the title, I am going to talk about Hiking Equipment. It is just because of my hiking's friend invited us in a group to join his hiking trip to YYBTN. YYBTN stand for TRANS YONG YAP BUBU TOK NENEK actually. Thus, for next semester, they are planning to go for YYBTN trip. Yeay!

            But actually, I haven’t decided yet whether or not to go for the trip. First reason is because, I worried I might 'mental break' and giving up during the expedition and definitely will actually causing trouble to others. This trip is going to be 4 days 3 nights trip. Such a long trip! Last time, I went to Trans Titiwangsa V1 for 6 days 5 nights. I did causing trouble to others due to my ankle injury. Hmmm I so sad and guilty! :(
