late feedback of Gunung Ledang trip

Actually the story started when I was taking shelter from rain, at Petronas oil station. Receiving a sms from friend, invite me to participte Gunung Ledang trip...Of cause, climbing mountain is not really the part that attract me. In state, it was the last sentence of 'our' (our means you & me lo) conversation changed my mind.

I said, "wtf, last minutes only tell me about this, how could I make decision immediately ? Somemore, I even don't have equipments..."

He said, "wtf, don't worried about the equipments, some of the things I can prepare for you..."

I said, "wtf, I even don't know your friends, you want me talking with trees? "

He said, "Aiya, can make some friends, and Ashely will go, just now she asks me whether wanna buy some snacks for me or not..."

I said, " Your ex, Ashely..? "

He said, "Not even started....."

I admitted my expectation to 'have a look' on this Ashely make me fast enough to react and take a sign on the terms and conditions of this Gunung Ledang trip. By the way, simply typing "Gunung Ledang" on Google.com will find out that it is just 1276m from sea level, and compare with Gunung Kota Kinabalu about 4412m, it is nothing! I started despising on it...

The process to climb and reach the peak is not much on my story. But, the overall combination photo please do not take when I am eating.... People keep on message me "Are you so hungry?"

Another funny thing is on the down-hill path. With a little bit of fitness problem, me leg is cramping. With limited resting time, I keep on moving and withstand the pain from muscle spasm. Of cause cramping is not funny, the funny thing is we race with Hull City to avoid demote from premier league...haha..The further we ran, the faster Hull City chasing...but finally I suceed to take UEFA cup's ticket...(Just ignore it if any reader do not understand this paragraph)

After taking a look on Ashely, hmm...she is talkactive. Keep on bla...bla..bla...and a little bit of western girls style. One thing I must mention is, that photo you two taken, is DAMN MATCH.!!
See....



These are the biggest problems of this trip's plan.

1) Actual activities are far from planning schedule.
2) 2 hours resting time is not enough for old man like me.
3) Singing Beyond's song (Lover), Lin Yu Chong's Song (kao an), Ren xian qi, Ah niu, Guang liang's song (lang hua yi duo duo),..... may disturb other people to sleep.
4) Insufficient energy breakfast meal set.
5) Without a WARMING UP section.

Hopefully will be improved next time.

MOST MOST MOST importantly * Viewer Discretion Is Advised! *

Gunung Tahan Expedition 2009

Gunung Tahan 2009 had 3 pre-tahan training... Gunung Yong Belar, Gunung Nuang and Gunung Batu Puteh. I'm trying very hard to make sure i can join for all the trip so that I have the chance to go Gunung Tahan. Finally, i'm so fortunate that being selected to join Gunung Tahan Expedition 2009. Gunung Tahan reali a very very different mountain compare with other mountains. It has a lot of different trail and different view. I stil remember that in Gunung Nuang Trip, when lao shi and seniors ask whether want Kuala Tahan- Kuala Tahan or Kuala Tahan- Merapoh...we're so firm to answer them...we want Kuala Tahan- Kuala Tahan.

This Tahan Trip reali a very meaningful trip for me. I'm leaving to Malacca to study. And the first week is orientation week. Almost everyday can see me walk in and walk out from HEP (Pusat Perkhidmatan Pelajar). Apply leave with school and waiting for school approval. The head of HEP even try to delay my time...submit my leave appliacation letter to school director on Wednesday and our expedition is start on Friday. That means I have to leave school by thursday. Then, I keep waiting for the chance to talk with the HEP head. And finally i got the chance to walk into his office and talk with him. He returned my letter and chop & sign with director's signature...stated -tidak diluluskan-. Oh no...I keep ask for his help and approve it for me. But, not success. That day, keep thinking the way to make him approve. I got think to give up...but I reali feel this reali golden opportunity for me...maybe just once in life. So many candidates and they even have to work very hard to pass a test to join this expedition. And i'm so lucky being selected but give up like this...i think i wil very angry myself. Maybe i will have the chance to go Gunung Tahan after this, but i think maybe no more chance to go Gunung Tahan with ODA already. After that, I'm so lucky i meet a lecturer and i ask for her opinion izit any way i can take so many days leave with school. She gave me some solution and I fast sms lao shi that time.

Finally, Hilux 8233 reached my school, take me out from school and gao dim everything. That time, I almost cry. I really cant believe i already come out from school with HEP 's approval. I really cant believe I already come out from school and going to depart to Gunung Tahan on that night. Everythings was so sudden and happening so fast. But i think the biggest mistake I have done is I have forgotten my family. My dad and mom even call me and ask me take good care myself at school there and must study hard there...that time I already at kota kemuning ODA's HQ. I cant afford to continue my conversation with my parents and quickly end the call. I'm crying badly after that. I start packing my backpack and thinking how to talk with my family bout i'm going tahan that night...start imagine my home big war after i back from Tahan.

After leave a msg for my sis...then the 8 days expedition was started. First few days, still okay, not that tired...but after that muscles started pain and being tired and more tired. But...all still able to joke, kidding, sing...still able to have fun no matter how tired u are...this la ODA!! All mentality were so strong and never give up or complaint how heavy their backpack...just continue walk and walk and walk. When i felt the backpack was heavy, but after saw all those seniors carry more heavy backpack, overload then just told myself..."where got heavy?? no matter how heavy ur backpack, u still have to move on..." This is how i push myself along the way. When river crossing, my leg terseliuh and reali feel pain. After that, still got 2 more river to cross...so scare that time...holding Pang's hand tightly. I reali so thankful to Pang...she always teach me a lot and take care me. Everytime flash back the moment we crossing river together...holding each other hand tightly...reali feel so touch and will cry.

I also want to thanks lao shi...without her, impossible i can go for this Gunung Tahan Expedition with ODA. Thanks trip leader, Meng Ruan...reali work so hard for make out a good planning. Thanks seniors Pang, andy always teach us a lot!! Fy, ss, yyj, pk...thanks for helping a lot and will never forget the time we cook, eat, walk, laugh together....all those are sweet memories that was so unforgettable. Reali thanks ODA so so much for give me the chance to join this expedition. I will never forget oda spirit and all of you. As what lfy said, nothing is big matter as we been to Tahan together...in Tahan 8 days together...this only the big matter. Thanks you all so much!! Gambateh ODA !!! ^^

ashley tham feedback on G.Ledang...

Hmm.. As usual do not know how to start writing a feedback after a trip.. All the best describing way is already shown during the hiking.. The sweats… The laughter… The aches… The talks… The satisfaction… The achievement… The determination… The motivation… The teamwork… & of course The appreciation towards ODA that gave me such a chance to join this Ledang Mount which I had waited 3 yrs to accomplish it eventually… I am so happy that I managed to call Ms Lim before the trip. Else I might missed it for another 3 years!!! Duh~

The biggest disappointment in this trip was, we all couldn’t manage to view the most breathe-taking waterfall.. Which I found it pretty wasted and at the same time the view of the peaks take as a complimentary.. Anyhow, the trail of this mount is pretty challenging which I love it a lot!! Haha.. 1 day hiking is cool so that the next day would be a bit of laid back 

Thanks Henry for joining this trip. I found it more meaningful. And u know why it is  Thanks FuYaw for your priceless efforts. N sorry for all the troubles I have caused to you. Thanks YeeJin, my leader  for the dinner and breakfast  Its good to see you again Chee Shen. U made me recalled all previous memories  N the most important person in ODA- Laoshi  Thanks a lot. I enjoyed the short session of chatting. At least I know who I am to u 

For all the friends that we had shared the laughter , food , water , sweats (ewwww..) a very BIGGG THANK Q to u all…!! Sorry cant list all the names here.. all the best to u guys  MUACKSS….keep in touch

Gunung Ledang Trip

Hi there, hope everyone is fine.

I always waiting to revisit this mountain who renown for its mysterious but for me, this mountain always giving me some special feeling and experience, special thanx to all the ODA committees

for organising this trip,especially trip leader,Fu Yaw, it is not easy to organise a trip in short time especially when u all juz back from tahan trip, hmm, but that's prove that nothing can stop a real mountain climber. Recalling to a photo i shot during the previous trip in Gunung Ledang,


which says" Real climbers are drives by SELF-ACTUALISATION NEEDS, only climber live their live fully. They want to experience life to the fullest as much as they can. To them what's most important is [IT'S THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION]".
I believe, after this trip, u all have experience the most and will always be strong and moving forward.

Ms.Lim, ur passion in mountain climbing activity really gain my respect. Although U've changed alot in the way u communicate to others, but, something remain the same.

The last time we were here was on October 2005, 4 year passes, many thing has changed, especially the trail, we not manage to pass-by the beautiful waterfall. For me this time, the trail on the way to the peak and going down to campsite really challenging and i got cramp in both of my leg, that's a sign for me that my physical fitness has dropped compared to previous trip.

One thing need to take note is that we don't have "heavy" enough breakfast before we start our journey to the peak as the expected duration to the peak will take 6 hours. We have to depends on the self-bring chocs,raisin.

First, we have to walk pass a long staircase. This trail is so hard and tiring as our "engine" is not hot enough. If not mistaken, there are 8 checkpoint to reach to peak. The most challenging part is where we have to climb up the giant stone using rope. I have some difficulties in this part as my backpack is really heavy, but determination and believe pushes us to complete the challenge. Penny, nothing is impossible, i m glad that u didn't listen to another guide who ask u to change another way to climb up the giant stone, i m happy that u manage to make it, i can c ur determination. this is the precious thing that we can learn from mountain climbing. Gambateh!!

At last everyone manage to reach the peak, yeah! Our motivation to reach the peak? haha...i think is the "maggi mee". everyone is hungry and tired, only maggi mee can save us. Haha. I remember when we reach the peak, we have a photo shot that everyone is trying to be "representative" of specific brands. Ashley is representing "Milo". Jason is the "Red Bull". There is other brand like panasonic, clear shampoo...haha.

The journey going down to the campsite is not east too...it is really tiring especially the last CP staircase, our leg juz like gonna break off, no more feeling. But anyway, everyone manage to reach the campsite safely.

In summary,
- tq chiann nii, u r doin good job as group leader, sorry din help u much during cooking hours.
- miss lim, dun have much time n opportunity to talk to u..hopefully next trip there will be a chance.
- tq chee loong, and other driver, while u all driving, we the passenger is busy sleeping.
- i suggest next time when we in the highway, our car will be stay and move together in group. that will reduce down the chances of accident.
- ashley, at last we manage to make our promise become true, we manage to visit this mountain together, and i m happy with the conversation...
- hmm...untill next trip! c u soon.

Gunung Ledang

hi everyone!~its me.. first of all i want to thank Chian Nii for inviting me to join the Ledang trip. it was kinda fast and random decision as i was too bored at home.

it was my first trial on mountain climbing, and i really enjoyed the whole trip though i was tired (lazy actually, hehehe..). one most important thing i learned from this experience is determination. i nearly gave up half way up to the peak of Gunung Ledang. but luckily, everyone was very helpful and encouraging. becasue of them, i managed to hang on and got to the top! my graditude to Bee Suan, Yee Jin, Kenn and Chee Shen for guiding me, pushing me and accompanying me all the way. not forgeting others who had made the whole trip fun!

its nice to know all of you! :)

2009 - 3rd Gunung Tahan Expedition

Year 2007






year 2009


I really miss everyone of you when i looked back all the picture.Even from the prior Tahan preparation,during trip and after trip... (Lao Fuo Ye,Andy,Miing Rueng,Seong,Huay Woon,Master,Dreambaby...)All of u laugh,noisy sounds,smiling face,naughty character had bring me a lot of good memory in my life!!!Even though i am far away from all of u now, but I can listen and imagine all of u voice leh....wahahaha... all "sound effect" had save in my permanent memory.




























2009 ODA Gunung Tahan Expedition,is my 3rd time to join ODA to visit Gunung Tahan.I am still want to take an opportunity sincere thanks to LFY and ODA giving me a chance to visit Gunung Tahan again and again.



1st time - Year 2006 (KT-KT)








2nd time - Year 2007 (KT-MRP)











3rd time - Year 2009 (KT-KT)




"What are the differences between this 3 pictures???" Of course i am become more "mature" and "pretty" laa...Beside that??? We have different participants in all the time to visit Gunung Tahan.People around us are keep on changing.How many of us are really stay after Gunung Tahan?Of course,we can seen they are number of people left after completed their Tahan dream!This is really make me feel sad,and the worst is they are really wasted people time and effort to guided them,to help them to achieve their dream.I am feel sad to given a chance for those people who are not appreciate!And i hate myself didn't given a chance for people are really appreciate...

"They FIGHT for their dream to Tahan,but...they FAILED to fight for their dream after Tahan." Are they learn some lesson during Tahan Expedition? I am doubt...

After 4 years i climb mountain with ODA,i realized that why there is some people who are really enjoy with the moment in mountain.And some people are draw the end of the line in their life.For those who are enjoyed,they are really feel "itchy" when too long time didn't visit mountain.I have the same feeling after 5days back from Tahan,i told LFY that i want go Tahan again.She stunk and look at me,are you serious???Yes, i am serious!!!

Gunung Tahan is a legend of Mountain.I believe everyone in ODA had learn something great during the expedition,and all this will be good if we apply in our daily life.To visit Gunung Tahan,its not difficult job.However,to get everyone in the team to ready visit Gunung Tahan,is a challenging tasked for all the Senior and Adviser.

As for year 2009,ODA had increase the standard of Gunung Tahan Expedition.Don't feel sad because of didn't been selected.Because we had really look in depth of everyone mentality,physical fitness,speeding,characters,and so on...Believe me,our feeling is bad,when terminate those who are not ready to 2009 Gunung Tahan Expedition.

Congratulation on Fu Yaw,Seong,Huay Woon,YYJ,and Pooi Kuan who had completed their journey to Gunung Tahan. Yes,its doesn't important for us (LFY,MR,Andy,and Me) whether we had reached Peak.The most important is as long as seeing everyone of u learn something good through out the expedition.And to be the outstanding person!


Thanks to ODA key person, Tahan Trip Adviser-LFY and Trip Leader-MR.Both of them really work harder to make sure the planning is done well for us to get ready Tahan Expedition.Work without day and night,Sms-ing and call-ing the most of the year.And thanks to LFY "brief" them to unload items from my backpack. I didn't know at all..Until i saw their blog!!!Yes,All of us should have the right attitude.

Special Thanks to Mr Vun- who had alwys support ODA at the back.Wherever ODA go... To get ready a lot of "dehydrate chicken and Tempe",make sure we have more than enough food in Tahan Expedition.

aNDy, thank u for accompany me all the Tahan expedition.All the way,we have nothing much to say.I only remember u keep on asking me whether my backpack is heavy,and want to unload things from me.How dare i unload to you?Cause you backpack is much more heavy then me and even overload...Look at those junior can proceed so fast,make me think back used to be i can be their speed as well...hahaha....how come now cant??? +_+* Need to keep fit already laaa!!!

Fu Yaw, u have upgrade to Master level now.Everything for u,you can handle it well.When all senior not around,you can bared the responsibility to guide them,to time them,and to take care everyone of them.All the technique skilled and communication skilled you had learn well from all Senior.And add up with you speed!!!Really "speecing",but makesure is quality ya!!!Hahaha....

Huay Woon,really "Gao Cuo"!!! Keep on saying her backpack got places???!!!No even think whether it is over her load.I can see her strong mentality during the expedition.3rd day river crossing,she had twisted her ankle badly.However,she still keep on moving and not even delay others. And completed whole expedition without complaint anything.

Sian Seong, thanks for insist help me to unload my things with HW.If not, i dont think i can proceed so long distance within the time length.Sure there is more distance with all of you.And always remember to take good care on your body.Cause you always allergic and sensative no matter in what!!!hahaha....but this is make our climbing story add more flowerist and become more funny.

Yee Jin,hope after Tahan you are become real YYJ but not Dreambaby anymore.After Tahan is all of us starting point,but not the end.Don't make all Senior and Advisor feel sad to bring you to Tahan cause of learn nothing.Bring out what you have learn during Tahan,shape it become better and shared with people.Believe me,ODA is your real family and friends no matter where you are.Everyone had been through the critical moment with you. Its nothing important if you less one friends,but it is important if you less one of ODA in your life!I hope u understand in one day.


Finally,thanks to all ODA committees to support each others all the times,hand to hand to pass by all the critical,and sweet moment.As for ODA supporters, who always giving their best wishes wherever we go.And its warmest to received all of you wishes!!! Hope to see you in ODA coming trip soon.

r,
Siew Ting

Unforgetable Gunung Ledang Trip

Hi everyone!!!..how's going? I hope everyone is doing fine--especially those who are in the MBG9986 on the day we came back. Heard that Gunung Ledang is a very special mountain from LFY. The terrains, the feeling is different from other mountains. The first impression i have when arriving at the park is ---nice. The park is well managed and lots of facilities they have there.

This trip I dint went up to the peak, i joined Andy LFY and GG and Miss Puffy Retriever ODA Lim to stay back to guard our tents and belongings. Lucky we have 4 person and puffy stayed back to guard as around 10am there are a group of guys (around 30 people) arrived to set up ropes for flying fox activities. We shifted out tents away from their landing paths and continue with our chat and sometimes watch what they are doing....at last around 6pm they finished their flying fox and we could continue back with our activites..that is to cook...while some of them who went to peak arrived shortly after that..ask how is it??? "Nice peak..but not able to reach the waterfall." (Nevermind, next time we go again). Definitely we will come back to Gunung Ledang once more in the near future.

Meet alot of new friends and old friends in this trip. Learn alot of things during this trip too. One of them is "You are what you believe"..so believe you are strong, then you will be strong. Before this i do not know GG, but this trip got to know you more. Learn a lot from you too...hope to see you more in the next few trips..such as the August trip ya...haha.

The last thing i learn is, when tired, stop beside and rest. Always wear a seatbelt. I believe all of us in MBG9986 is given a second chance to live. It is an expensive lesson but nothing is more important than life. I apologize to all the passengers of the car and everone for this careless mistake and accident. I believe that all of us "大事无难，必有后福"。 Use this second chance we have wisely and to the fullest ya. This incident makes me feel that i am not alone when facing obstacle because ODA will always supports us not forgetting friends and family. ODA=Family. I cant say the "tks" word to LFY and Mr Vun here as they will hang and spank me later. But what i can do is not to let them down, be strong and PAY IT FORWARD.

Last but not least is to thanks, 感谢 谢谢 to all ODA advisor, assistant trip leader, commitees and participants that participate in this Gunung Ledang trip. Without all of you this trip would not be as colorful and meaningful as it is. ODA trips are coming soon again, hope to see you again the next trip. See ya..Cheers!!!

Gunung Tahan Part 2

Gunung Tahan 2009

My 2nd time ^!@^

When 3 of us together, ah Pang always will be at the center.. Weird relationships between 3 of us..Example: 12-2=10, no matter how u change the position of the number there is no other new number wil appear..(no matter how many other people wil go throw our life, our number in heart wil not change)

Lao Shi or LFY or FG.. just want to said whenever mountain u want to go, I wil be always company u.. until we cant climb.. may be I did not said to u, u r my “恩师”, no matter what big decision I want to make, or when I met a beaten path, u r the one that I want to ask for advise.. At Tahan, we always EL, but with u around, was so happening, we all laugh, talk, singing.. u let us feel comfortable when beside u.. wherever places u had reach, we will think of there is our next destination..

MR,,Our 2009 Tahan Trip Leader.. thx for taking the bigger responsibility at ODA 2009 glory trip.. ur hard work, ur passion we all had seen at Tahan trip.. B4 Tahan Trip.. After Tahan trip.. excellent job.. thx for company me hike when I cant follow normal speed of ODA at tahan.. at tahan, whenever I want to make a decision, I always will seek for ur opinion..u always help to let me make a better decision..FY.. always had the faster reaction among us.. u really can handle well the difficulty task that assign to u.. good to had u in ODA as a master, ur counseling skills “geng”.. me n u can be a good partner cos our attitude r totally equivalent.. ur aggressive and mine thinking style..SS, I always remember at tahan, we night walk to pankin bawah, u with me walk at behind and let ur hand on me..i can said I’m proud of u, u learned all senior talented skills and use it perfectly..

YY, thx for sharing the weight with me, thx for help me to caring my things, u r really strong.. without u, the trip won be so funny and has a lot of laugh.. u like to talk, and sometime we need to heard it too.. but keep in mind “you are you” not ours’ “you”..
THW, always said my bagpack still had space, can put in somemore.. ur spirit will be our significant when we said ur story to the next generation…

PST, the first girls that I think will be my best female friend in my life.. with her strong strong mentality and PR skills and especially her unit attitude, really bring ODA to a global generation.. excited when heard u will be ODA second advisor soon.

What I still remember since 18 days passed.. one day in Tahan, ah Pang ask us who want help her to unload bagpack, but none of us answered her.. after that, she said to us, she want go first cos she is slow, then LS said something to us, then we only realize that we r really terrible , no heart, “bai jiao” then only we chase ah pang and insisit to unload her bagpack , thx to her for let us correct our mistake..

SS and YYJ always be the guys who willing to take my bagpack. Thx to them, everytime they reach the check point first, they will come down to volunteer carry my bagpack, I remember at the way down from gedong to pangkin bawah, I walk very slow, then they want to unload my bagpack, and I said no, but at the end, they rape my bagpack,, OMG..

At camp teku, when LS giv us “no fire de briefing” don know why I will automatically start to cook the rice.. at first I already very nervous, scare if not cook well the rice, LS then no mood to eat.. LS already “Pei Che” I make her Pei Che lagi.. then suddenly LS brief me about the gas I did put it at the correct place.. wa, that time I lagi takut.. but finally, the rice that I cook under big pressure, r nice, LS and team said good.. all eat til very song.. haha,, then only I know my skills boleh pakai..

When 5 juniors go up to peak, left 3 seniors and 1 advisor at gedong, we really play ourself,we already pack our stuff, close the dome, everything prepare to descend.. then suddenly we make a century decision that we going to stay one more night at gedong.. walau eh.. then we wait them to come down, we stil pretend we r rushing to pangkin bawah, we wear our shoe, ask them to move fast, then at last, LS said can not recognize the trek leh, no need to go down today la, 5 of them stuck 3 minute, don know what happen, then after we laugh, they only know they kena main, wakaka, very funny their reaction.. even the our guide also want pengsan.. said we really play them ‘kau kau’ but luckily we make the perfect decision, cos that night at pangkin bawah there going to be around 50 people need to camp there.. squeeze like sardine..

ODA always said after Tahan only is the beginning of the journey.. so my luv team mate let us hand n hand fly high together..Last, PK, although we don hav the fate to achieved dream together for now but we been throw Tahan, it already will be the unforgettable memory in life..

Meaningful Trip To Gunung Tahan

ODA Gunung Tahan Expedition 2009 was completed !!! Thanks to everyone who supported , and sending their best wishes to ODA . Everyone committees has done well in this G.Tahan Trip. Thanks to ODA advisor , Miss Lim , ODA Seniors , Pang Siew Ting , Yong Miing Rueng and oso Andy Goan Song Choon. They had put a lot of effort on training and guiding juniors so that they will be 100% ready for this Tahan Trip. Hope our performance in this Tahan Trip wont let them disappointed. And, Thanks to Dad and Mum for allowed me to join ODA Tahan Trip although I have to skipped class.

Gunung Tahan…This is the first time I stepped on G.Tahan…a tough and special mountain…It gave me a very special feel..that feel was hard to describe.. In this 8days ,9 of us…was trying to push ourself beyond our limit. Not pushing our physically only , but also our mentality. Although everyone was exhausted , but we still remember to smile, to play and joking with each other. This is the different between ODA and other groups.

I still remember what seniors said , if wan go Tahan…go for Kuala Tahan-Kuala Tahan. U will understand the true meaning of Gunung Tahan Expedition. For me, the most important part of Gunung Tahan not the moment u reached the peak, the most important part was the Process. When every group members helping each other, supporting each other during the toughest moment , this is the moment that I felt unforgettable.

After came back from this expedition, I will like to share my experience and my knowledge with others. Like what lao shi said, ‘Pay It Forward’. Always remember to share the things what seniors taught u with the others.

Still remember on the way back from Camp Puteh to Gunung Rajah, suddenly Pang said , she wanna load somethings from her backpack. But at the moment, non of us volunteer to load her’s item. What lao shi said is correct , is was a SHAME!!! Seniors put a lot of effort on guiding us, but on the way back , non of us volunteer to load her’s item. After that , I keep asking myself…How dare u to let seniors carry a heavy backpack..before trip , they already very tired with guiding us , during trip, u should show your appreciation to them. I wanna say Sorry and thank you to lao shi and ah pang..after this , I realize …we should appreciate Seniors effort no matter how tired you are. Thank you lao shi for 点醒 me…Sorry to Pang, I didn’t volunteer to load your items.

During the preparation for Tahan Expedition , 3 pre-tahan training been conducted to choose Tahan candidates. Fortunately , I am one of the candidates who been chosen to G.Tahan Expedition . During this 3 pre-tahan training , we learnt a lot from senior and tried to pick up all the skills to make sure we are 100% ready for G.Tahan Expedition . For those who didn’t join G.Tahan 2009, don felt sad…put more effort and picking up more skills and make yourself 100% ready for ODA next G.Tahan Trip !!

During the moment i standing at the Highest Peak in Peninsular Malaysia, I think of many person especially ODA seniors. Lao Shi , Pang , Andy , MR and oso a committee who are not very active recently , Gah Gee.

Lao Shi, sacrificed alot for this Tahan Trip. She decided to skip her's father birthday party just to brought us to Gunung Tahan. She also helped me to prepared some letter that I need it urgently and sent it to me. With her and other ODA support , I 鼓起勇气 to asked the permission with my parents again. Finally i get the 'permit' . hahaha...She oso spend alot of time to evaluate every committee whether they are really ready for Tahan Expedition or not. Before the day of discussion, she cant even sleep well because keep on thinking of G.Tahan trip.Even Mr.Vun oso done alot of preparation for ODA before Tahan Trip. We really have to appreciate the effort done by Lao shi and oso Mr.Vun..Thanks !

Pang, one of the senior who taught me the most. As Lao shi said , Pang is the one who taught me the most in ODA. I totally agree with this statement. She taught me alot ...how to do a trip planning, what we need to do in emergency, how to do trip account and many other things that i not listed here...really thanks to her advice and teaching..so that Im qualified to Tahan Trip. Pang is the one who keep guiding us to be stronger and stronger. She will directly correct us when we did a mistake without scolding us. Her's mentality was very strong and she manage to continue hiking although her's leg was injured in the first day, this spirit was the spirit that we should learned from her.

Andy, Gunung Tahan 'cargo'..On the first day , when he wanna carry up his 25kg backpack, he lost his balance and have to 'throw' down his backpack immediately. His action make everyone laugh but think the other way, this mean his backpack are overloaded from the weight that he can carry. Andy was a senior who are very expert in setting up flysheet, even lao shi oso admit that Andy more expert than her in the way to setting up flysheet. Andy are the senior who guide me during pre-tahan training, I learned alot of skills from him and really thanks to him for teaching me.

MR,our 2009 Tahan Trip leader...He put alot of effort on this tahan trip no matter in trip planning, during trip or after trip. He done the longest trip planning I ever seen in these 2years. He was really great !! MR is the one who always sit there quietly and do things. Although he sitting quietly, but his hand non-stop , before our meal, he keep preparing ingredients, foods and after that he become the chief, after become a chief , he started to keep things. After keep things , then he started to collect the next day breakfast from others. He really a multiple task guy!! He oso very good in decision making, before I done something that I not confident, then I will ask for his advice or decision.

Gah Gee...the one who are the first commmittee that guide me. Although she inactive for this few months, but I know she will back to ODA one day. Before trip, we have a short conversation. She asked me whether I done my preparation yet, and asked how about other committee, and she oso asked me to take care ODA lfy , Lao shi ...(Haha,gah gee i did it ya..). On the way to peak , I thinking back these my life with ODA these 2 years...Gah gee are the one who brought Cs, Hw, and me into ODA...but she cant came to Tahan Trip with us..feel abit 遗憾. Anyway, still thanks for her guidance when we are still junior in ODA..!!

Fu yaw, are a responsible person..everytime when he was the first person reached checkpoint or campsite. He will automatically start cooking or setting up tent so that the others who coming will have some food or shelter. After Tahan Trip..Now he got a new name '校长'!! Y we called him as 校长?? because he already becoming more mature..hahaha...He can manage and solve a problem without seniors helped and he manage to lead other members with full responsible. On the way to Peak , and on the way to descend from peak, he really act as a 校长 and know he has the responsibility to lead us so that we can reached Gedong on time. He kept asking yee jin whether the members behind can catch-up or not, to make sure that everyone are walked together and to prevent anyone of us lost in the jungle. He really a great 校长！！！

Huay Woon, a strong mentality and physical girl. She manage to carry a heavy backpack without any complaint. The sentence she used the most in Tahan was '' My backpack still got place'' !! hahaha...before trip, She keep on fight with her's family to get permission to came to this Tahan Trip and finally she get to join us..hopefully she can learned alot and growth after this Tahan trip.

Yee Jin...the one who always speeding for the 8days !! One week before the test, he put alot of effort and used alot of time trying to pick up as much skills as he can, so that he could be ready for Tahan. During trip, He helped us to carry alot of load , so that everyone load can be reduced. He also the one who very talkative, keep make jokes and create topic for us to laugh. During trip, we saw a well performance YYJ , not the dreambaby before trip. He used the skills he learned from senior and helped us on everything. I think , this is what senior expected from you.Hopefully after Tahan Trip , he can maintain his performance and getting better!!

Pooi Kuan... although you are already leave..but Im still thanks for your helped during the 8days in Tahan Trip. You always helped us on cooking and cleaning after our meal. During hiking, although you are slow, but you still can keep on walking , this shows you are a person strong in mentality.Hopefully after ODA 2009 Tahan Trip, you may used the Tahan spirit and make your future life more interesting!! Hope we can meet on ODA Future Trips !!!!

Lastly , ODA Gunung Tahan Expedition 2009 was a memorable , unforgettable , meaningful trip for me and oso ODA .Thanks everyone who send their best wishes to us !!< href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjen2sm_3uT_0Lt9ol8xM7QWFFkEThPLRjjtxBbOFTUjdNAXebog-tuk2qE333dk5LYSDPTKovosZ6Qpwf73pTwDB2zQdwlJ2sQhAvapU9Rt2KNfzaXy7nvz9epHyd9NhBynG-I2VOAgYqB/s1600-h/1_926225955l.jpg">

Johor Gunung Ledang trip

Gunung Ledang, heard this mountain long time ago, finally i have a chance to go there. First of all, I would like to thanks ODA, Lao Shi and Fu Yaw for giving me chance to be group leader. This is the third time i been group leader. When i get the trip planning, i am a little bit nervous because i am not familiar with it. But also feel quite glad because quite long time i didn't get to be group leader, now i get the chance to do it. Thanks to my group 2 member.

Henry, my senior, thanks for your help and fast response in this trip. Whenever i need your help, you will sure never say "no' to me. You also took good care of our group member very much...

Hon Keong, Henry's friend, likes to help people. You will always accompany Henry when his legs get cram, help him carry backpack and etc... Sorry for didn't sms to you, i had wrongly save your number in my phone book. And thank you and Henry for helping me remedy the rice that night.

Hwue Zuin, thanks for your support. Although there is no other friends accompany you coming to this trip, at last you still choose to attend this trip. When i received your sms, i feel quite shock because i never expect that you got interested in outdoor activity. Also, i am feeling very happy that you didn't give up yourself and continue the trail although you feel very tired.


Chee Keong, after few times invitate you to our trip, finally you decide and confirm can participate our Gunung Ledang trip. Thank you. Thanks for volunteer to carry our group 2 backpack during hike. And faster go and do a more details medical check since you still feel very pain.


Kenn Chan, a funny guy. You had been participate in ODA trip for few times, but i think this is the first time i have so much conversation with you. Very nice to meet you again in ODA trip and hope i will see you again in the future trip. I remember what you say and i will invite you again whenever we have trip...

Chee Shen, thank you for helping me gather and arrange our group 2 member at Setapak there. Whenever i need help, you will sure be there and ready to lend me your hand.

Fu Yaw, Gunung Ledang trip leader. Although there is only less than one week time after registration closing date, but you still do the planning well. Thank you for teaching me and correct me patiently whenever i did anything wrong. And so sorry about your car. Don't feel that it is you one person responsibility in this accident, i believe that you also don't want this to be happen and it's an accident.

Also thanks to other participants and committees senior Ashley, Penny, Kien Seng , Gah Gee, Andy, Bee Suan, Yee Jin. And this trip we have a special 'people', Ms Puffy. Also not forget Mr Vun and ODA LFY - Lao Shi. I get to learn a lot from you all and have a happy moment with you all in this trip. One of the lesson i had learn in this trip is Everyone deserve a second chance in their life. For my friend incident, i am learning to apply on it. Thanks..

Hope to see you all again in future trip.. ^_^
