2010 ODA 1st Mountain Trip Kick Off !!!

2010 Jan 30th - Gunung Datuk
After 30 days all of us started our 2010 New Year, 24 Human + 2 Dogs met at Gunung Datuk Expedition. There are many reasons,situation, decision making that brought all of us met in this place and get to know each other. One of the reason is because of ODA, I would like to thanks to all of ODA committees for years of hard work and continuous organizing different mountain expedition for all of us and have created lots of faith for many of us to know each other and become close friends. Thank You - ODA Committees !!!! 
Looking at ODA activities calendar for next 6 months, basically there will be outdoors activity for every month (Gunung Rajah, Gunung Ayam, Gunung Kinabalu, Gunung Irau and Taman Negara). A little bit of  self time management planning efforts, there will be chances for us to meet again in the jungle.    
A quite regretful trip for myself as I didn't have much time space to know most of the new ODA friends, and didn't complete the whole trip with everybody, but I heard that everybody enjoyed the hiking process, have clear Peak view and most importantly - Safe Trip.... This is always something an Adviser wish.
Back home, I heard that Alfred and Siow Qi have high altitude fear, Hopefully after the G. Datuk Peak staircases practice, you know and believe that you can DO IT !!!!
Special Thanks to our trip Pilots - Chee Loong, He Men, Chia, Woei Siang and Boon Ping for sending everyone to our destination and back to KL. I believe our trip pilots have Grade A driving skills cause  everyone was able to sleep well in the car after finish the trip while our trip pilot continue driving on the journey with their soar legs and tired eyes.
Very glad to see ODA friend - Pei San for sharing this good activity with your other friends and had brought along a few good men +  Chor Wan to the trip. Please suggest some good receipi to ODA for coming trip..... you always have great ideas !!!
Finally ODA's brother - Kee Teck appear in ODA's trip plus bringing another 2 fine men to trip..... ODA + your sister been waiting for your presence for years. Hopefully Gunung Datuk trip will create another ODA + You .... same as what your sister had created. 
Very happy to have the chit chat moment with Chu Yee and sharing her story with us till late night. Wonder how you stay awake to climb up all the way to peak and back to ranger office and yet still keeping the fresh look.
Special Thanks to ODA's Girlfriend - Siow Qi and Ern Hui for helping out in before trip equipments checking, preparation and after trip cleanning. Thanks for your tolerance of bearing the boyfriends unable to be specially available for you during trip situation.
At last - Thanks to everyone tolerance on ODA's pets - Ms Puffy ODA Lim + Mr. Happy ODA Low crazy moments. We will make sure they get along better with each other in future.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone, stay fit and stay healthy.
