I Reached And I Conquered

The date was 20th March 2008. Today was the day that I'm going to set out on my wildest dreams and ambition cause ever since the first time I saw it I knew that I just had to conquer it. And counting the days now and it's close to 3 years since that day. And that day was the time that I just had to do it.

Now some of you might wonder what am I talking about and maybe some of you already know and what I'm talking about is actually my 3 years dream of going up our water tower. Well, some might say that I'm crazy, and some might say it's cool. Now just try imagining going half way up the the Eiffel Tower and looking down on the whole of Paris. That's how I imagined it. At the top, able to see the whole of Polytech Mukah and maybe even more! Cool huh?

Niceeee....

At first I've always thought that going up the tower was just a piece of cake and that it had spiral stairs all the way to the top. But, Boy was I wrong. When Mark and I first stepped into the tower's entrance, I was shocked. The ladder was actually something I would normally see in a WWE Ladder Match. And honesly, I was getting ready to turn back and just go. But somehow, some part of me seem to keep calling me 'Chicken' ( maybe it's my male ego or something ), and so, I decided to go for it and climb the damn thing. Surprisingly, Mark joined me as well. And among all the technician that's working here, the only ones that have not been to the top of this tower was Mark, Me and Sucan. And Mark's a little scared of heights. So, It's more like we're motivating each other while going up.

Think Ladder Match and A Longggggggggg way down....

So we climbed. And after the 1st ladder, I was starting to have my doubts and looking down was not helping at all and there were 5 ladders to climb before we reach the top. And from the pain I was starting to feel in my hands that after reaching the top, going down won't be as easy. And as we went on, I was really starting to feel the pain in my hands as they were already getting red. And after reaching the top, I tried to look down and I really can't believe how high up we were. My knees were really shaky when I got off the last ladder.

And finally we reached the top and the exit door was there. And just as soon as we stepped out of the door, the sights were just breathtaking.

I can see everything from here.. Just need and extra Binoculars..

Mark's proof of Authenticity.. He finally got to the top..

Well, as you should know, every good thing must come to an end right? And knowing that we had work to do on that day as well, we had to cut thing short and go back down. It's a real nice view from the top. And going down the WWE Ladders somehow didn't hurt as much anymore knowing that we conquered the water tower. But then, all I could think of was how to stop my knees from buckling so much. Damn.

Time to go down.. 5 sets of ladders..

Maybe next time we'll bungee jump from the top, eh? hehe.. Cheers people!
