Trans Java Misadventure

An Introduction Won't Hurt

A wise man said, “Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of your passport.” And I could not agree more.

I’ve been eyeing Indonesia (focusing on Java) as my next target for #10mountains mission right after I got back from Japan. It took me a year to prepare, from reading the trails of selected 10 mountains in Java, to finding guesthouses and outdoor shops nearby. I was pretty excited to begin the journey as this would be the longest backpacking journey I’ve ever done - a month. And because it was another 10 mountains mission after two years.

At first, I wanted to make it two months as I wasn’t confident enough to hike all 10 mountains within 30 days. I’ve prepared all the documents needed for visa application. But sadly, my documents weren’t good enough to convince them, so I had to proceed with Plan B, to hike in a month.

With everything’s packed and checked, then off I go.

But sometimes, hard work does not guarantee you a success. And who would have thought that the failure of my mission somehow turned into a great adventure that I could ever dream of.

To be continued….

Because Antarctica is calling and I must go!

It was a last minute decision. I thought all the selections were over and I had no chance to try, but who knows what Allah has planned. They made another series of selection in Kuala Kubu Baru, Putrajaya and Kedah. I went for Putrajaya as I was in the woods on the same date they held selection in KKB. With lack of rest and cardio training, I went to the selection with nothing but spirit and determination. Hahaha.

There were quite a lot of strong participants attended, some familiar faces and some I never saw before. Dr Sharifah Mazlina started the selection with briefing on rules and regulations and tips on how to do the test. Each participant will be tested on 5 different cardio routines :

1. Sit up

2. Push up

3. Squat

4. Quadrant jump

5. Bleep

The first four routines will test on your determination to see how far you can go, how long can you endure and push yourself to achieve your target. But the most important test is the bleep test. This is to test your endurance, speed, mental and fitness level. Well, I didn't do my best and let's just say I passed all minimum requirements needed. Thank god.

So, the next test is social media campaign where we need to 'sell' (okay not sell la, but more like attracting people to vote us based on our achievement. haha) ourselves to get as many likes and shares on our individual AWETA facebook post (Btw, this is my link. do like & share, guys! hehe). So far so good, I managed to convince people using all the hard work done and achieved in the past (all the missions and stuff).

But trust me, this is my first time exposing myself to lotsa people out there about my world and passion. I just could not care less about it before. Hopefully whatever comes and happens along the journey will not change me into someone else, let me stay true to myself, my passion and all my goals.

Your Wanita Gunung,

Izza Rosli

When women support each other, incredible things happen.
