A Hill in front of Us

Posted by Little-queen at 12:31:00
About one year back, on a public holiday, Thaipusum, I went to climb a hill called Bukit Melawati, and it was a great fun Saturday I ever have in my life I guess.

Bukit Melawati formed of tough and unerodable material are naturally concave. Note that since it is composed of various layers, a higher hill may change from convex to concave and back again or vice versa. And also note that the road itself will not always follow the terrain, indeed, it may be steepest where the hill is less steep and wind its way alongside the steepest part of the slope.

An even-grade climb probably owes its uniformity to an artificial slope, although some natural slopes have an even grade for long distances. Approaching such a hill by walking up site down, it appears to get lower as you get closer. Limestone hill are naturally convex. A concave hill is steepest at the top, thus when approaching a mountain of this type, it will appear taller as I get closer.

I, myself may want to power over it. If it's a convex hill and it's steepest at the bottom, it is definitely in our best interest to do so, even if it is damn dangerous to do so. To power over a small hill or over the steep part of a longer hill, one among us picks up speed on the flat before reaching the hill, she is my dearest roomate, Chii Huey, she is the one who picks up speed so quickly and left us behide, we all keep crazy calling her so that she can stop a mean while to let us catch up on her.

Even though I am not especially powerful, but I do like trips in the mountains and hills because I enjoy the scenery and the woods. I am always careful and never let myself get too tired or too hungry, as that leads to frustation. It's better to stop and enjoy the view than to get frustrated on a mountainside. Am i right?

In short, learning to climb hills and mountains opens up my eyes to the world. I enjoyed it very much!
