Unforgettable Trip - Chabang

Chabang之后，又要写feedback了。真的有点力不从心哦！但最后还是写了。还好有CE的提醒，不然我的会忘了写吧！（其实是懒得写。哈哈！）CE，真的谢谢你！这次的旅程对我来说真的有点难忘吧！过程中的经历与回忆还在我脑海中，挥散不去。山顶的风景的都把城市里的ABC的街上给比下去了。一个字，赞！但下山时的路途真的有点。。。坎坷吧！可以这样形容吗？老师？哈!因为那时夜色已经暗了，还冒起一阵雨。使得我们走的好缓慢。还要过一条水流很急的河。但都是有惊无险的。好刺激哦！所以当全部人安全下到营地时已是十一点多了。好晚哦！好累哦！当全部人都安全的下到来，那感觉真的很棒！真的很开心！对吧！大家！我们征服了它，Chabang！我们又再次的征服了自己！好像似和大家经历了很多，虽然只有那短暂的几天。希望下次的trip还能见到大家。最后要谢谢我们这次trip的Advisor Lau Shi 和 president Ah Pang。因为有你俩，所以这次的trip才能顺顺利利的。当然也要谢谢我们的trip leader Chian Nii。谢谢你带领我们，辛苦你啦！还有我们的group leader ABS, 谢谢你！虽然你很沉默，但不表示你不会幽默。哈哈！还有要谢谢我们group menber, lau shi, Chong Ee, cikgu Mus, Shafig和 Han Yuk。真的很开心能遇见，直到认识你们。Yoyoyo， BBW。。。我们是行的！再见啦！Chabang!

炸邦山之最后一战

小弟志航，第二组的。



第一段都是感激谢谢的，首先是老师给的ODA不死精神，Trip Leader - Chian Nii的精心策划，Team Leader - Pooi Kuan的细心照顾，还有各位战友的肝胆相照。

这是我2009年最后一次爬山，下个月到新加玻工作后就没那么多机会接触这类活动。 这次的炸邦山有很多刺激的时候。 由于临时的变动，我们需在一天内上下。 开始那一段很滑，很难上。上的时候基本上也没有什么，就是跟平常一样喘到半死。 路上有说有笑，时间也很快过。

大约4点，我们最后一班比较慢的到了山顶Peak1。 逗留了大约15分钟而已。满身是汗，让那万重山显得更优美壮观。 基本上，还看得不过瘾，我应该会再去一次。

下山，下雨不久我们在小溪旁坐下休息等人的时候感觉很不错。 就是不能形容。最后一段，很斜很滑的那里，蛮刺激，一个不小心就Yo下去，然后就YoYo,然后就YoYoYo...

小弟文笔不好也不敢写太多，来我们来听歌 - 巫启贤 《赶路》。。。



赶路的人们，快到了吗？

Gunung Ulu Sepat (G7) Expedition

Gunung Ulu Sepat

SEAT ARE LIMITED!!




This mountain is remote and unknown to many people. It is located in Belum Forest (Hutan Belum). Any Malaysians will know that Hutan Belum is still virgin, untouched by the outside world. If you are lost in this Hutan Belum, the nearest civilisation is 40/50 kilometers away and that's about 3 days of trek if you walked straight. In 1996, the total number of people summiting this mountain is still a double digit figure. Till now the number is still low, considering the inaccessible nature of that place.




There's abundant supply of flora, high in medicinal value. Aboriginal tribes, called Orang Asli still use this forest as a base for primary living. The only contact to the outside world is a 3 hours boat ride through Temenggur Lake (Tasik Temenggur).




Tasik Temenggur is formed when the government decide to built a dam on a Temenggur River in 1970s. As a result, the forest submerged in water to form the lake. Even now, we can see most of the dead tree coming out of the water, still standing proud. This lake has been a main transport system for the Orang Asli, linking Grik to Pos Kemar

Chabang Trip 16 October 2009

I had a wonderful time climbing Gunung Chabang! Actually, didn't expect it to be tougher than Gunung Irau, which we climbed on Merdeka Day. I couldn't find much information from the internet about Gunung Chabang this time. I only know that the starting is very steep. The rest was for us to find out on the day itself. Then, on the way to Simpang Pulai, Kenn told us that Chabang is tougher than Irau..I'm was like =.='' Cham-lo!

But it was a great experience! A first-hand experience of night-time climbing and heavy downpour at the same time. The view upon reaching the peak is quite magical. So proud that we all can reach the 1st peak! So a few of us reach the peak around 4pm and reach back at the campsite at around 11+pm..a total of 14 hours we spent on Gunung chabang for a day!WOWww..hahaha..Amazing! ^.^ And we had the pleasure of listening to Chu Hang,Kenn, Simpson and Jonny singing on the way up to the peak..hahaa(Aiya..we should arrange for a K-session one day la!) Passing the backpack and walking stick to 1 another also wana cry out,"Thunder-thunder-thunder Cat!" =.=''' So funny! Thanks for entertaining us!! Thanks to All the ODA committee for bringing us to Gunung Chabang..without ur effort and help, we couldn't have made it up and down Gunung Chabang.*thumbs up* Lao-shi,Chian Nii, Bee Suan, Siew Ting.

Lao-shi: ya-lor.been secretly training.I jog in place in the room for 15mins and bodycombat for 15 mins 3 times a week before the trip.I'm very lazy when it comes to exercising..but since I have the goal to reach the peak so I have to make some sacrifice. :)

Pooi Kuan: Thanks for ensuring we have adequate food throughout the trip and taking photos for us. And most importantly willing to be our group leader again for this trip! Very happy!

Fu-Yaw & Andy: Another 2 ODA committee.Thanks for staying back with us to lead us back to the campsite safely.Very courageous!

Wai-Kit: Thanks for stopping at place to be my brake when i slide down from the slippery slope.Very helpful!

Kenn: Thanks for the ride,entertainment and pointing out all the branches blocking us on the way down.Very good!

H'ng & Jonny: Thanks for joining us in this trip..1st time will always be unforgettable and we made it! Yay!

Simpson: Thanks for dragging me for training,mountain climbing, and accompanying me on the way down! :p

Chong Ee: Thanks for the great photos!

Chu Hang,Chee Long,Chu Yao,Han-Yuk,Cikgu Mus,Shafiq: Great to know u all!

-Hope to see u all again soon-

Gununng Chabang 16-18 OCt 2009

Great Chabang!Chabang Chabang...is it the named because of having few confusing cabang??

It is slightly pity that we can't reach to peak 5. But, i think is enough for me, as to peak 1 already not easy somemore without backpack.

Chabang's trail steep enough and endless....almost all the while 45degree. Really want to give a clap to those carry backpck to peak 1. This trip, we have gone through a lot of 'adventurous' during descending..night walk under heavy rain, shoe lost, leech attack , 'safe' torch light, river crossing, slip down,..all these have given us unforgettable memory and experiences.
Besides, this is my 1st time to climb with our special ODA commitee, Ms Puffy. I think she is really a good commitee as shealways look after people behind her though sometimes she will merajuk, when her foot was dirty, when she was tiring.

Again, this is my pleasure to be 'virgin' group group leader.
I like my group members indeed, thanks for supporting all the while and apologized that i was not with all of you during you were 'trapped' in the jungle while waiting to river crossing under the heavy rain. Anyway, i enjoyed and proud to be same group with you, group 2 members!

Chain Ni - Trip Leader was same group with me. Our pleasure. Thanks for prepare this trip for us teach me n Chu Hang fried the papadam....
Chu Hang - Thanks for help me to cook rice and papadam ya.....
Fu Yaw - Thanks for helping me cooking and your guidance in leading a group.
Kenn - our 'kai xin guo' without you, our group will not so colourful
Simpson - Good chief cum 'kai xin guo'.You and Kenn really our 'group treasure' , thanks for make our group happening all the while. Wana thank you again your help in cleaning during 2nd day night.
Valerie - Sweet and kind heart girl. Thanks for helping me in cleaning all the while. Your hiking speed really improve a lot. I am sure you can go G7 soon:)

Chong Ee-Take back your ubi?nice to know you ya, good camera man!
Han Yuk - Next time hope you have a good shoes, so you won't slippering always during descending.
H'ng - Hurray!You did it!
Johnny-Appreciate your help to wash the messtin though you are not group 2.
Chu Yao - Sorry for not given a good guide in rice cooking.....
Wai Kit - So envy your smooth leg..not only smooth, but strong too...

Finally of course thanks ODA Advisor, Ms Lim, ODA commitees: Pang, Andy,Chian Ni, Bee Suan, FuYaw, for organize, guidance and arrangement for this trip, without you, dont have 'Virgin' group..Andy and FuYaw really did a good job in leading the 2nd group during the dark night, heavy rain and river crossing. Gambatee!
