2010 May Gunung Bujang Melaka Expedition
Once again thank you all 34 members who join ODA 2010 Gunung Bujang Melaka expedition. With all of you present, We had officially make announcement on closing early a week before dateline due to overwhelming respone. This is something very good when i know alot of ODA new + old members will come to join us again. All of you has give ODA alot of support,and spirit to keep on raised up ODA flag again and again all these years.
Alot of my friends asking me same question :"Siew Ting, what do you love about Mountain Climbing Activity? What has inspired you to do that all these years?" Seriously, at first i doubt on my decision to involve in Mountain Climbing Activity. Because i know, when the time i involve in Mountain Climbing activity i am no longer the normal person again. Especially, i have to go through ODA training and guidance from ODA Advisor - Ms Lim. To shape me to be the better person, responsible person, Persistant person, outstanding person, independence, leadership skills, management skills, communication skills, and the trust, rappo between me and others people. I keep on asking myself,and to find out the truth.Whether i really like hiking? or i like Mother Nature? or i enjoy the moment with friends?or i fall in love to all ODA members? Yes, no doubt all the reason above has make me return to Mountain Climbing activity with ODA.They are just amazing!!! Back to 5 years ago, i am not the one who u know me today. I am self fish, immature, not confident person, not responsible person and want everyone concerntrate on me all the times. However,I am believe many of my friends are see me growth alot in ODA within these 5 years. As Alice Leong, Harry Ang, Lee Chee Loong they are my really old friends and know me well. I am sure they will see the differences and changes of me ;p
Alice - i have invite her to join me to climbing activity since years 2006. But everytimes she will reject me. But, i am didnt give up to called her to join me everytime. Finally 2010 Irau trip, she has step out the first step to try out Mountain Climbing activity in her life. Really good to see you in ODA trip, you have make a big step ahead.
Harry - The one who go together to join ODA activity with me. Our first trip at Gunung Angsi,2005 yaa..I am still remembered he told me this statement after come back from ODA few trips :"Siew Ting, i think you are too crazy in Mountain Climbing activity". That time, i didnt say anything and just act silent.Like this icon -> ;0 hahaha...ya,i am really crazy. However,really happy to see you return to Bujang and coming East West trip again.From the decision u make, i can see that you are very support ODA and me all the times.Is you time to "crazy"!!!
Lee Chee Loong - No more words i can describe him. He is definately Mr OK.Everything, everwhere,everytime also ok.What else you not ok?Let me know.hahaha...4 years ago, invite him to join ODA Bujang trip.Compared his first Bujang trip and today Bujang trip, we can see him totally change. Small backpack upgrade to Big Backpack. Light Weight upgrade to Heavy weight.Last man upgrade to First man.People assist upgrade to assist people now.
3 of the person above, has squeeze up my brain whole week after come back from Bujang trip. I thinking why they will come back?what they have change?what make them keep on continue it?i see them growth, change in their life after join climbing activity. They learn how to appreciate people around them, make a move, persistent,sharing with anyone. In ODA, we always believe that those who join us to climbing activity they are good person. Cause you all can sleep in the dome without air con and pillow,cooking without a proper kitchen, eating without a good taste food. All these things are not easy as for a normal person. But through out this, you will find out more of your own limitation and understand more on yourself.
Ser Siew, Jie Yi, Eng Wah,Phey Ying, Yi Ming, Xue Er,Poh Ling, Adrian,Arnold, Hui Sim, Weina, Siew Kong,Weng Kit, Giah Lin - This is the first time you all join ODA or maybe first time try out this activity. Ofcos, is a tough activity. Maybe some people will choose not to come back or touch any regarding mountain climbing activity again.But somehow, i believe this is only the beginning and 14 of you will continue on this healthy activity in your life. Go beyond your limit!!!
Kwang Leong, Tata,Jai Wong,Swee Sing,Zhi Hong,Siukat,Kenn,Chee Loong,Alice,Harry - So tough activity, but what has make your return on this activity again and again? I guess each of you have own reason and answer deep inside you heart. You all are really help out us alot before,during and even after trip.To shared your knowledge with first comer,to assists members in trip,to deliver positive energy to everyone! Thumbs Up!!!
For Bujang trip driver - Laosi, Zhi Hong,Kwang Loeng,Kenn,Chee Loong,Siew Kong and Wei Kit.Thanks for drive your car to the trip.After trip,normally people are already very tired. But you all still have a big responsibility to send everyone back to Taman Bahagia lrt station.Good job,Everyone are return safety!!!
Last, ofcause want to express my gratitude to all ODA members to make Bujang trip possible.Sian Seong,FuYaw,Monica,Chian Nii,Jimmy, Bee Suan has put alot of effort to prepared the whole trip.Without them,i am sure the trip are not successful as we wish.Not forgot,Ms Lim best friends - En.Lan,En.Sham,En.Arif come and join us and assist us alot whole trip.Our respectful ODA Advisor Ms Lim, to guide us and shared with us her knowledge,life,experiences all the times.Only one words to dedicate for her : "SALUTE".I love everyone of you and Thank you!!!
Let's continue our faith. See everyone in coming trip!!!
