Hi everyone!!! Last week of today we are just about halfway from Kuala Tahan on the way back to Tahan. Time passes so fast...a week had pass.
Day 2, still not myself along the trail. Keep on thinking the things on first day and seldom talks. Still remember that night at Putih, after dinner we have a small talk beside the fire we set up….LFY and Seniors pointed out that I am not the usual me, I think and worry too much in these 2 days. The problem with me is that I know I am not normal, but just don’t know where is the problem. I am blessed to have such a good teacher and seniors to guide us
NOT THE USUAL ME…..after listened to that, I started to think deeply when is the usual me. I compare myself in Tahan and previous trips..realized that I am more happier, talk more, and most important thing is I concentrate on the trip whenever I go in the past. Change is needed. So the next day I return to the usual me, concentrate on Tahan.
First day of Tahan trip, from Kuala Tahan to Melantai...everyone still fresh as new started 
our journey around 12pm noon after having our lunch ( Curry Mutton). First day i did not talk much because my head is full of worries -- my thesis, future, grandpa, tired--all sorts of worries. I guess when one is down, the head will full of worries which is not to be suppose so worrying. When our heart feels something , our face will show what our heart feels. So first day i am not me.

Third Day- river crossing day. Wide and some at thigh deep level are really challenging. After river crossing we head to Pangkin Bawah. Encountered energy low roughly 1 hour before reaching the campsite. But strangely the mood is different compared to 1st and 2nd day. That moment I think the Mind is the 
most powerful thing on earth. Haha…
Heard from LFY and Seniors, after Pangkin Atas the view along the way is beautiful and we might touched till tears. Really, never seen before view appeared…After the high ladder, weather starts to rain….me and yee jin went up to Gedung first. When we reach there the rain drops become more and bigger. We planned to set up flysheet first, but when we reach Gedung—OMG no trees to tied to..haha….eventually we set up a tent in for shelter if needed.

The next day is the time to Tahan Peak. We left Gedung around 6am. When it is brighter, the view is magnificent all the way until the swampy forest. I dropped my tears 2 time along the Gedong to Bukit Merapit because of the view—hard to describe the feelings here. After lunch at Tahan peak, we rush back to Gedung as we planned to leave to Pangkin Bawah. But when we reached Gedung, we kena play by seniors..haha---hard to describe the feelings here... but i am grateful that seniors and LFY make the decision not to go on. Because we would be very EL later. Stayed one more day in Gedung. Cried here once as I am touched after hearing Yee Jin said I really took care of them during the hike up and down from Tahan Peak. Its been a long time I cried in front of people. Hehe… Seems like I am the crybaby of the day…yeah!!...Day 5.
Day 6 ,7 and 8 is the day we hike out from Tahan Peak. When the day is reaching day 7 and 8, there is a feeling –Time passes so fast…不舍得this trip as it is coming to an end. Learned a lesson 
during our hike out..that is no matter what, we must finish what we started with good standard and end it with a good standard. That means cant let ourselves loose after coming back to Tahan Peak. This applies to all of us after Tahan trip…Ask me will i come back KT to KT? Definitely is YES. This journey makes us know each other better, know ourselves better and change our lifes. Only KT to KT will make oneself a true ODA....after this 8 days, only then i realize the strict training is a must. Without proper and strict training , im sure we will not have a save and smooth Tahan 2009....it is worth it all the tough trainings.....YEAH....

A continuous small and simple action/movement, but have given the rest of 8 2009 ODA Tahan member the best gift in their life. You have choose to be the one who deliver the precious gift to all of us. Thank You very much. If you have choose to be selfish, each of us will only have blurry image in our memory without able to refer to the precious photos and refresh our memory to retrieve our Tahan courage, determination, strong will...so that we can bounce back during the moments we needed it now and in future of our life.
Snapping photos in our daily life is a simple task. But continuously snapping good photos for others on 8 days Tahan trip - No everyone able and willing to complete the tasks.
Taking out the camera, open the waterproof bag layer by layer, look for good view, call for members to get into position, make sure snap sharp image, then put back the camera layer by layer and back to the porch bag - Is definitely not simple tasks especially during the extreme Tahan trip. You have done something so great that no other 2009 ODA Tahan members able to do so....
How good, how great you are.... A continuous small and simple action/movement had reflected who is How Fu Yaw.
Every time i look back all the great pictures, the great scenery, the happy moments. I know the person who holding the camera is greater than the great scenes.
You are the ONE who had given each of us hold on the best memories of 2009 ODA Tahan.... Thank You very much... I am very confident ODA will be "OK" cause of having you.
