Climb Mount Merapi

Two days ago I went to the Merapi Mountain. It was the first time I climbed the mountain. I did it with
some of my friends. We start climbing at 8 p.m. It was so dark and we only used flashlight to get the way. I
felt no worry because all of my friends were professional climber. I just followed their instruction.
We climbed slowly and enjoy the night there. After 7 hours walking in the dark, we could reach the top
of the mountain. It was at 3 a.m. early in the morning. We were not alone. There were a lot of people who
reached that top before us.
We waited the sun rises by cooking some food and making some hot drink to get back our energy. We
sang some songs together, shared stories and got acquainted with people there.
After seeing the sun raised, we had to go back home. Getting down the mountain was not as hard as
the climbing process because we only spent a few energy and time even we had to be more careful to do
this process. However, it was great experience I had ever done so far.
After all, that was my great experience I had ever have.

A Creepy Camping
One of my favorite things in Junior High School was camping.
Once a mount my school held a routine extracurricular that was camping at some mountain or camping
field in my town. Usually the event was at first Saturday night in a month.
One day at the camping time, we all gathered at the school first before we went together at the
camping area. We were grouped in teams and each team has its own tent. We went to the camping area
by bus. At the afternoon around 4 pm we had already been there. We built our own tent before we
continue the activities. After building the tent, bathing, and having a break, we start the rundown of the
activities.
One thing I love most was the activity of Jerit Malam (nightmare training). It was held at 10 pm until 1
am in the morning. We all, every team, were scattered into the jungle to find the letters in a bottle. The
camping committees had prepared something to frighten us by wearing ghost or zombie costume and
chased after us.
Anyway, I was never afraid of that but I was so happy seeing some of my friends screaming and
running. I laughed loudly at that event because I think both of the ghost and the victims were totally funny.
The ghost or the zombie never frightened us who were not afraid, but they will run after them who were
too afraid.
