2010 July 17&18 *Gunung Bunga Buah->Gunung Angsi->Gunung Datuk*

July 17&18 expedition is very special for me. We have change from Gunung Bunga Buah,Selangor to Gunung Angsi, Kuala Pilah and finally to Gunung Datuk, Rembau.For some new friends who did not know, before that we had planned to visit Gunung Bunga Buah which is near to Genting Highland. But 2 weeks before to trip,we went to pre- making and had realized that not so suitable for new members. So, we have come out a decision to change venue to Gunung Angsi.



Gunung Angsi is my first mountain to visit in my life. I have decided to explore again with all members. Who know when visited Gunung Angsi, we have been chased by the officer few times which is not allowed us to camp at the area. They have added more rules and regulations. Thanks for all members are agree to change venue to Gunung Datuk with us. Eventhough, some of the members had visited Gunung Datuk before, but i am sure you all had experiences the different feeling on every hike.






When saw the photo capture at the Peak, i have a very different feeling come out from my mind. I was thinking "In 5 years hiking with ODA, we had went to atleast 20 times to Gunung Datuk but this is the first time i didnt get to see the beauty city in seremban town. Just reached the Peak within 5 minutes, all the cloud are around them. And start to raining!!!!" I believe Alfred, Chee Loong, Tata, Jai Wong who is went to Datuk before, they will see the different view in Gunung Datuk Peak.





I just simply love mountain activity, back to 5 years ago "ODA Pretty Enstein Lim" a.k.a "Laosi" had told me this before. "Eventhough Mountain activity is a very tough activity, but through out the activity you will see everyone with their real characters" (cited in 2006,Laosi). Because, some people will decided to let the bad situation turn become better. But, some people will appear with their real face in bad situation like acting become self-fish. Thanks Tata - cooking the mee for everyone when early reached Ranger office. Adrian - to boiled the Milo for everyone.Chee Loong to move participants backpack to avoid getting wet in heavy rain. Chian Nii - to boil the hot water to everyone. Monica - to take care all participants in raining. Sian Seong and Bee Suan - keep trying to searching the phone line to contact with Laosi and me.To make sure all the members are in safety mode all the times.



Thanks to our old friends : Min Choo, Tata, Xue Er, Yi Ming, Alfred, Adrian, Phey Ying, Poh Ling, Eng Wah, Ser Siew, Jie Yi come along to join us again and bringing all you friend to the outdoor activity with ODA.
