Back from Niigata

I'm in Tokyo again now, back from Niigata yesterday afternoon. I cannot reply to all the comments in the previous entries yet.
Today, Aini, my host family, and I plan to go Shinjuku station to find out the exact location of Keio Bus line. This is the express bus that we are taking to Kawaguchiko Trails for the Fuji Climb Expedition. Then, I need to get some supplies for the climb, things like light food to munch and stamina drinks.
The climb will be tomorrow Aug. 22, 2007.
How am I feeling about it?
Not so confident, to be frank. Even my spirit is quavering. I keep on thinking of my feet. I remember having the pain at the sole of my feet while doing my hajj. This time I've prepared two pairs of padding for my feet for this climb, one for arch support and one for the sole. Also, knee support and ankle support. After this, I don't know what else to do but make lots of doa to reach the peak.
The members of the group that I am with are mostly from JICA Msia, I don't know anyone of them yet.

While we were in Niigata for 4 days from Thursday to Monday, we went to a summer sky resort. There they had this sleigh ride called Bob-sleight, I can't upload my photo yet on this pc. I have one ride here after seeing Aini who is 4 months pregnant having a go at it. I remind myself, I am climbing Mt. Fuji at 3996m and what is 20 m high bob sleigh ride. I took the cable to the top.
NOPE!
I had some nervous strike looking down. My phobia for height is too strong.

Yesterday, I saw on tv news about China Airlines bursting into flames after landing at Naha Airport, on Okinawa main island. Alhamdulillah, no human live is affected.
Now, my fear for flying comes back. But I still have to fly back to my home in Okinawa.

I have lots of stories on my trip to Niigata, most of the things I did there are first-timer like grape-picking, Ayu-fishing and tasting and bob-sleighing.
All these stories will have to wait for me to update when I get back to Okinawa, insyaAllah.

I am booking my trip back to Okinawa after this entry, so I still don't know my return date yet.
To all members of Forum BashoHut and PondokBasho, please make doa for my safe journey back, insyaAllah.

    Assalamualaikum Halela, mohon maaf kerana tidak sempat bertanya khabar dan berkongsi cerita dan tahu-tahu sahaja Halela sudah berada di Tokyo. Sekrang ni pastinya dah ke Fujisan - camana? Nak tahu sangat pengalaman Halela pula. Tempat-tempat yang Halela sebut dalam entri ini dan sebelum ini amat saya rindui. Kenangan di Laox, Kawaguchi, Fujisan, Akhibara dan lain-lain amat sukar diluput dari ingatan.

    Oh ya di Masjid di pinggir Tokyo itu - bukankah berlaku satu peristiwa yang amat bermakna bagi Halela? Syhhhh...

    Salam untuk Inai jugak. Dah masuk 4 bulan? Tapi dalam gambar tu macam budak baru masuk tingkaktan satu! Ha... tau-tau dah masuk anak ke empat. ya, salam untuk zakri juga.

    Nanti upload ya gambar-gambar di Fujisan. Wasallam.

    salam sham,
    masa membalas komen ini, akak dah rehat di rumah selama seminggu selepas mencapai puncak. Rasa kepenatan sudah hilang dari badan.

    salam sri diah,
    saya ada menziarah masjid yg jadi kenangan itu. Semuanya sudah bertukar, yg tinggal hanya kenangan di jiwa sahaja.

    salam radiah,
    kak lela masih ingat pada radiah, kadang2 ada juga buka blog radiah tapi sunyi saja, tak berupdate.
    Bila lagi radiah nak mulakan entry?
    Dah balik Msia macam tak de cerita lagi ke?

    salam ros,
    nasib baik ros ada letak link sini. Akak dah buat reformat pc ini beberapa kali, itu yang link banyak yang hilang.
    Akak memang tunggu ros dan tercari2 link, terima kasih ros sudi meletakkan link.
