It is definitely a WOW expedition.
WOW for closing the dateline earlier - Original target is 25, but we have actual 29 registered members.
Wow for been chased by the Ulu Bendol Ranger - 1st time happen in ODA history
WOW for changing the venue on the spot - Everyone agreed upon. Even for members who been to G.Datuk for many times such as Jai Wong, Tata + OPY and Alfred. They AGREED too, Great Outdoor spirit !!!!
WOW for late late Dinner and Bath - No one fainted, gastric or hypothermia
WOW for staying up late - Good junk food sharing moment, thanks to Chee Loong (official sponsor for trip) and Tata.
WOW for lots of noodle meal plan - Bravo to our trip leader for her creativity in meal plan. After all, after more than 80 trips within 5 years, what to eat during hiking trip, which is acceptable, suitable and yet fulfilling is always the biggest challenges. She really takes lot of time to come up with the meal plan.
WOW for the weather - Very rare that G.Datuk will rain during that hour. 
WOW for everyone who still able to smile and feel satisfied even the view at Peak is been blocked - G.Datuk is always a almost 100% guarantee nice peak scenery.
WOW for holding on for hours under heavy rain and wind - When received the message from Sian Seong stated "heavy rain, can't proceed" - We're worried, luckily heavy rain came after everyone is down from the Rock at PEAK - We're Blessed.
WOW for Adrian's hair - Let's see whether his hair still able to stand at Yong Belar trip? 
WOW for lots of comments on Nice trip photo at Facebook - Jai Wong complaints that Email account been jammed up by facebook notification, but he forgot who is the one snapped all those nice photo.
WOW for meeting New and yet Good members - Foong Sim, Sim Yee, SawKien (Sorry for taking up your tent space, bad Puffy). As well as Kai Yee and Poh San. Although is a short trip, but really have good laughs with you all. 
WOW to our main chefs - Tata, Weng Kit, Poh San who descend fast and make sure hot soup, hot drinks is ready for everyone who is behind.
It's always a WOW to meet you all again trip after trip - Sunway College + Doctor, Genting and The 3 Musketeers 
Last WOW - ODAs (Pang, Sian Seong, Chian Nii, Bee Suan, Monica, Puffy) + ODA Behind Scene Men - Chee Loong, Jai Wong, Tata).
Thanks for keep on organizing wonderful trip for everyone, thanks to ODA's Men for always being the backbone supports. 
G.Datuk is always a special mountain to ODA, as this mountain is where ODA been born 5 years ago. Lots of good memories, ODA history hide inside this mountain. It's a special trip to all of us as well, as we've experience among the most heavy rain on top of the mountain. This trip, is definitely will be kept inside my personal hiking log in "Special Trip Category".

Harlo harlo! Fuh..finally manage to take a break to comment about the trip after a busy hectic week.

Sorry for being an outer space idiot. (whispering*..i seriously don't know where to start writing feedback, that's why I choose one of the ODA's blogs and comment under it.)

This is my first trip with ODA. At first, we were quite afraid before the day came, takut "beh cham".
Luckily, everyone came out to be very very friendly than expected. Took really great care of us. And, the food was indeed--- NICE..especially Milo and maggie mee..hehe..
I like the 'Ramli burger special' that we bought at the stall at Ulu bendol campsite. yummy. Too bad not many of you tried the burger with us together gether.

The committees are great people. Kind of admire how come you guys can carry huge bags and still walk as if you guys have nothing on your shoulders?
Hmm.. If Puffy can let us sleep for a few more hours, then I think the whole trip will be SUPERB. lol (ouchh! lao si, don't smack me :p )

Don't feel like saying a big thank you note here to every committee, group leader, team member. hehe..later ter-blurt out the wrong name pulak.
I feel appreciative of the supports, experiences, and joy that you guys brought. Remember to take us out together too for all upcoming events ya.

Together we hike, together we grow. See you guys around.

cheers,
FS- (guess who? hehe)
