2009 March 27th Yong Belar - Accomplished

Too many outdoor/mountain climbing activities after 2009 Chinese New Year 写blog写到手软. I believe most of ODA agree with this. Whenever there's trip, not only have to look for members to join, ODA need to do trip planning, trail research, equipments checking, grocerry shopping, trip training, as well as monitoring participants' preparation. After trip, equipments cleanning, trip reports, update mountain profile, trip cd, plus writting blogs nowadays.
Prior to Yong Belar trip preparation, I've minimum involvement on trip planning, as i know the combination of Sian Seong and Siew Ting will create unpredictable sparks and good outcome on Yong Belar. With them, i truly 放心.

Sian Seong, our trip leader ~~ 超低笑点characters..... is somehow able to laugh in anything, in anytime. But when he is conducting his tasks, he is 100% serious. For many times, i've been "scold" by him cause i wasn's serious with the questions he asked. Most of the time, he will said 不要玩啦!!!!
At camp Kasut, when Sian Seong volunteer himself for staying back along with Miing Rueng to prepare their group's breakfast, i am not suprise. Cause this is the Sian Seong we always know.... it is not because he is the trip leader for Yong Belar only he choose to do so, it is because he has a big heart. Thanks to you for the good trip preparation. Any comment been made on you after the trip, we will work it out together!!!!

Siew Ting has been with ODA since the begining, she is among the most "STEADY" committee in ODA (of course, or else she would not be ODA president) and for many times, i have propose the idea to her that soon she should upgrade her status to be ODA advisor. But, being as a true mountain climbers, she is always humble and feels that she is still not capable to take over the position. Once again, in Yong Belar trip, all of us get to see her ability and i am sure after she back from Liverpool, we will have a new advisor in ODA. Sincere thanks to Siew Ting for her dedication and sticking with ODA all these years and her assistanship to Sian Seong on the Yong Belar trip. You are a true mountain climbers!!!!

Ka Chai, didn't get to hike together with him in Yong Belar, but i heard that his backpack is very heavy. His driving skills is definitely 赞 !!!! Really enjoy seeing the way you drifted hilux, next time we will use the drainage to passby other cars as shown in "Initial-D".

Gunung Tahan, still open ... think about it, sure there is solution.

Amelia and Agnes - Created a history in ODA which for the 1st time in ODA, we have parent-daughter participants. Amelia is no doubt a sweet girl, didn't talk much but keep smiling alot, Thanks for helping setting up the flysheet at Camp Kasut, in between cleaning up or finish the work, you have choose to finish the work first, you are a great person. Agnes, a caring parent ~~ thanks for the extra efforts for preparing the eggs, bananas, home made powerbar for everybody. I get to taste the home made powerbar, its really powerful. As for bananas and eggs, i heard it gives them good energy to proceed, thanks alot. Admire your outdoor spirit, by putting the age issue aside. Hope i will able to be like you, still hiking by that time.

Mun Lee, 慢丽 Mun Lee ~~ Don't worry too much you have slower down the whole team to reach Yong Belar peak on day 1. Either reaching or not reaching on day 1, we still manage to reach, right? It's good to see your return to trip again, continue your training after office hours, you will have the same speed as others someday. I know you can do it, remember, you able to wear slipper to Nuang peak and back, there is nothing you can't do.

Lee Chee Loong ~~ Thanks for helping ODA after trip cleaning. Why insist to carry the 3 bottle of waters in your backpack even though your backpack is heavy??? Thanks for staying along with Yee Jin while he is having cramp on his leg. Last day you are superman, shot off real fast. If you go to Gunung Tahan, probably no ODA will able to catch up with you.

Hooi Yen~~ What else to say???? Nothing to worry, right? "Tease" you alot during the trip, hope you know that that's the sign of ODA that all really like you. "Someone" highly recommended you that must invite you to Yong Belar trip. That's why Yee Jin been assigned to persuade you to go along. Why that someone highly recommended you? Of course you have good things in you....Thanks godness finally you join the trip. Hope to see your mountain climbing story start from here.




Andy ~~ Our Yong Belar guide. Good Job laaa !!!! Seems like many "complaints" you walk too fast as 1st man??? Hahahaha, when will you get old and walk slower? Thanks for taking over the 1st man task.... remember what the "ex" said, when lfy on fire, she tends to talk very rude. The "briefing" session half way.... aiyaa, 不要讲了!!!


Next time sweeper and 1st man coordinate better, then will be ok. Remember to take 2 tablet of glucosamine everyday!!!!

~~Huay Woon, Yee Jin, Pooi Kuan, Miing Rueng, Fu Yaw,

Chian Nii and Bee Suan ~~
Trip leader and assistant trip leader done all the planning research and have assigned the tasks to each of you. Without each of you complete the tasks, the trip will not go as smooth as they have planned. Without each of your present in the trip, it will not be as joyful as we have in Yong Belar.

Good Job to all ODAs

Shoes broken, leg pain during Yong Belar trip. I have totally forgotten the feeling how i walked out from the jungle, i know that without the shoes and leg issue, we will be able to reach out the campsite earlier. Thanks to ODAs walk along with me. I will remember it!!!!

Ka Chai, Amelia, Agnes, Mun Lee, Chee Loong :-
