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!
-Hope to see u all again soon-
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.
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....
2009 oct 17-19th Chabang Trip Feedback You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you on what you say or do I'm only just beginning to see the real you. “And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes, and hide. I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry. I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.” Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my prideBut though the insecurity some tenderness survies Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.
At times Id likes to hold you and drive you to your knees At times Id likes to break through, and hold you endlessly
This song I wish to dedicated to ODA.. Is my feeling depress on the chabang trip.. chabang trip make a lot of meaning to me.. About my behavior and attitude.. I should think deeply on it.. In ODA, I’m not the clever, smart, good leadership, good management skills, patient and willingness committees, but I’m always will be the last man you can count on.. May be I’m not make a lot of change to ODA, but ODA make me change a lot, improve a lot in my life, but may be not in ODA, I feel regret on it.. FY always said to me, what LFY said to us are always the good advise and for our good purpose.. yes, I said to him, I know it since I know LFY for tis 4 years in ODA, if she don care of us, she would said so much.. Is already endless time I thank her, so I just gonna keep deeply in my heart.. “one time is Lao Shi, one life also my Lao shi” no matter what going on the future,
I really want to thank to Simpson, Kenn, Velerie, Heng, Jonny and Wai Kit, especially Fu Yaw, you all give full cooperate to make us can safely go out from the chabang trip.. the moment really is difficulties, and unpredictable, we don know whether the trail are correct or not, cos is at night and heavy rain.. we scare whether out teammate can make it through or not, too cold or will fall down, but finally we can hand with hand hold together walk out to the car park.. really unforgettable, we all should remember it for live ya..
Chong Ee,

想起老师教的厨艺，想想她煮的味道。回味回味一下。
最敬爱的老师，ODA Adviser Ms Lim. 第一次见到您的时侯，您那亲切的笑容和感觉。虽然个体小小，不过您的力量是那么的大。幽默，可爱。。总是带给大家欢乐，分享自己一路走来风风雨雨的故事。给大家鼓励和推动力。有一句话“Nothing Is To Late”也让我想到这句“不怕慢，只怕站” ABS, 在这里要谢谢你，老师。有老师，就有ODA。家人，心血，神啊！！！
What I can recall is, these 5 person are always surrounded ODA Hilux, busy with their tasks, packing, cooking, reminding each of us on next tasks. After the trip, while I am laying on the sofa having fever and the rest having dinner at some place else... these 5 person have clean all the 6 domes, numbers of groundsheet, re-checking all equipments to ensure in good condition for next trip and placed the items back in order. In fact, these are what they do for every ODA trip. 
Night walk, heavy rain pour, planning changes,diarrhea, fever and muscle
pain after trip have make the trip more colorful. I guess the imperfect incidents have make each of us looking forward to attempt Chabang again..... Any of you going to Chabang again, please bring me along, as I always like this mountain. It is not about the peak, not because I got injured in this mountain before, but I Just Love the unspoiled/minimum human impacts trail. Gunung Chabang also have "Recommended" to ODA some good committees such as Fu Yaw, Bee Suan who been invited to be ODA after previous Chabang trip - I Always LOVE Chabang!!!!! 
In here, I would like to express my gratitude to a very special ODA friend during Chabang trip. Lee Chee Loong..... I remember when during heavy rain pour, I told him to stay as last man - He ok. Half way, when i slipped on the river edges - He gave out his hand. Half Way, Puffy having difficulty to descend on certain parts - He Carried Her. Last river crossing, I stuck in the riverbank - He carried Puffy from my arm and bring her crossed. When we reach car park, once again I told him to accompany us to check on the remaining friends in the jungle - He Ok too. He is a guy who will always wear a yellow shirt without ODA logo on every trip, and a Black ODA Taman Negara shirt after trip..... I do hope he will change his mind, reschedule his work and join Korbu-Gaying trip and I do hope someday he will stick ODA logo on his yellow shirt as well... Lee Chee Loong - THANK YOU.
Whenever 3 of you are around, the whole trip will turn out to be very very fun and full with jokes. Your Jokes = Painkiller. It always created big impacts to all of us which enable each of us forgot about the toughness of the trail cause we keep laughing. Kenn and Simpson, thanks for watching the 2nd group on the last descend.... being as a last man is tension and not many capable to do so..... I believe Kenn motto of "We Come Together, We Reach Together" had motivated all of us just keep walking without thinking too much at the moment.

First of all, I have to thanks Lao Shi and ODAs-Pang, Andy, Fu Yaw, Bee Suan and Xiao Fo Ye, Ms Puffy. Without you all, I think the Chabang trip would be more difficult for me to do. Lao Shi, help me edit and edit the trip planning although you all are so busy of your own work and also prepare for the birthday gathering. Also point out some fact that we will face during trip so that we could prepare for it. Pang, just back from Uk, also busy with your work, but still help me edit trip planning as well. When others are still behind, both of you go back to rescue them. Andy, Fu Yaw and Bee Suan- thanks for your support. Whenever i need your help or advise, you all always won't reject me. For the second morning when we need to change planning, you all are there with me, help me...Andy and Fu Yaw, thanks for take care of those behind when descend under heavy pour. Also thanks to Bee Suan who helps a lot during dinner preparation. Ms Puffy, a very different dog. Her never give up spirit is always what I should learn. It's always feel very great and proud to have you all in my life. Thank you
