Gunung Ulu Sepat (G7) Expedition

Gunung Ulu Sepat Expedition

Year 2009 ODA had officially completed first round of G7!!! This is something great news to shared with everyone.

Before the expedition, we have faced some challenges.Such as before the date we depart, our guide just advised us to cancelled our trip to Ulu Sepat due to the raining season in the year end and cause the trail too muddy.Non of the 4x4 want to bring us enter the trail from Kg.Lasah to Kg.Lelar.I have informed Advisor Ms Lim regarding this news from our guide.She told me:"Siew Ting,no matter in what condition,we still proceed our plan".ODA never cancelled trip no matter in what condition and when the date we set to any trip".I say sure,no matter in what condition we still proceed to Ulu Sepat.Eventhough last minutes no guide and no 4x4 want bring us go in to Ulu Sepat,somehow we can look for others alternative plan to reached there as well - Never Give Up Until The Last!!!

Midnight,we have called Fu Yaw to search for some others contact which can bring us to Ulu Sepat.Such as others 4x4, boat transfers and guide.Ms Lim had also decided to depart early morning to Ipoh for look for more contact which can bring us to Ulu Sepat.Somehow,after Fu Yaw had due with fews resources,finally we had decided to take up the boat transfer from Jeti Banding to others Jeti which can lead us to Ulu Sepat.Ms Lim and Vivian have drive few more hours up to Grik in order to reached Jeti Banding - Strong Determination!


Early morning, i have called Chian Nii to search for others Mountain info.This is to make sure we have another backup plan.In case,until the last minutes we really cant visit Ulu Sepat then atleast we still can went to some others Mountain.For sure is in the Mountain, because we have set our mind set this week is the Mountain week!!! - Make Ourself More Flexibility.


For Wai Kit and Vivian,thank you for being trust ODA all the times.Eventhough I have informed both of you regarding we might not to get visit G.Ulu Sepat or maybe change to another Mountain.Somehow, both of you reaction are shown support ODA.They told me :"It is ok whether to reached Ulu Sepat,because for the last minutes changes nobody hope it is happen.If we really can't get in Ulu Sepat, is good can visit some others Mountain as well.We are ready to visit Mountain in this weekend!".The best support and spirit from both of you to ODA i will always remember it.

From all the process during ready to Ulu Sepat, it make me think that sometimes we might face some challenges in our daily life.But,this is the phrases that She(ODA Advisor, Ms Lim) has always told us, we are Mountain Climbers:
1. Never give up on what you have believe
2. We have strong determination then others dont have
3. Make ourself more flexibility


If you ask me how you feel after completed G7,I will tell you anyone can completed their G7,or any dreams as well in their life.But in the process to reached the dremas,what you have learn?Who will the one who completed the dreams with you togethers and how you complete it? All the process are important to reached the dreams rather then the person who stand on the top!Here,i would like thanks to all ODA committees who had really give the highly cooperation and support all the times.Without the support on everyone of you - Gah Gee,Bee Suan,Chian Nii,Sian Seong,Fu Yaw,Andy,Jimmy we will never achieve our dreams to G7.


"Every successful person have their painful story,Every painful story has a successful ending, Accept the pain and get ready for success" (cited Ms Lim,2008). Thank You Ms Lim who always deliver positive message and motivate me all the times.Congratulation to her for completed G7 in 17 years.Her strong determination had make her completed G7 no matter to used how many years.Another great news is congratulation to Fu Yaw.Within one year to completed his G7 trip.Included G.Yong Belar,G.Tahan,G.Korbu and Gayong,G.Chamah,G.Yong Yap,and G.Ulu Sepat.

Welldone, and see you guys in ODA coming trips!
