Gunung Yonge Belar :-

2010 Aug 13th - 15th - ODA 5th visit to this mountain

A team of 11 people, unable to crossed over the fern obstacle at the begining of the trail, been forced to aborted the expedition on day 1. 

Being as the trail lead on the expedition, the guilty feeling of failed to identify the right trail is something that been carry along for the past few months.

It's an unexpected failed mission because for the past 4 successful attempt to this mountain, everything just happened without much of surprises such as trail just missing in the middle of no where.

2011 Jan 7th - 9th - Pre-Marking on this trail been conducted with A team of 7 people after gathered enough information on the new trail that hikers been using after ODA last visit.

Weather wasn't at our side, with a few missed turn at the begining, but we were able to pushed until Camp Periuk on Day 1 and able to clearly identified the right trail for this mountain.

A special thanks to Lim Vui for all the trail blazing moment and helps on carrying ODA's pets on certain areas which was out of Puffy's ability to cross over.

2011 15th - 17th 

A Team of 15 members, 21 hours of hike within 48 hours.

Finally we are once again summitted G.Yong Belar at 20:45pm.

It's late reaching, scary moment when walking in dark, energy reaching its lowest level, or deficit level. The only explanation that we're once again able to sleep at G.Yong Belar peak was each of the member's great efforts, teamwork, looking after each other and determination. Thanks to all the guys that carried heavy load, extra H2O and tent to make sure the whole expedition is supported with enough food and comfort rest.

The scene the been remembered the most was the quiet and dark moment when torchlight been turned off while "Taking 5" in the middle of no where, everyone's was silent and thinking how long more we're able to see the stars hanging on the sky, taking off our wet hiking boots, enjoying a nice hot drink or tuck in ourselves into the warm sleeping bag. 

The whole expedition, we're been blessed with dry weather and having a group of members who had great common understanding.

Thanks to:

Trip leader - Ang Bee Suan for the days and nights work on trip planning, thoughful idea on extra food, extra items for "just in case" scenario.

Thanks to ODA - For once again prepared all the equipments and food needed and gathered each of us to complete the trip together.

Continue do what you all believe "It's a Right Thing To Do", truth will be revealed. 

My very best blessing to each of you, continue to strive, be a decent human being in your life.

Toughest person after all, who does not necessary to be the one who carried the heaviest, but had the toughest job.

You are the one who allowed us to recall, it is indeed a "priceless" moment while being there with all the wonderful captured.

Without those photos, we'll unable to remember "although life is sometimes tough, but no matter what, we do have great moment shown in our face which reflected in your 1 second moment capture. Love all the photo you have captured.

Thanks to all the members:  

It's an honor to be able to completed, succeeded the expedition after 3rd attempt with you all.

Looking forward to hike with you all again.

After all, an enjoyable and successful expedition not only relied on nice mountain, fine weather, it is as well as relied on competence members, great planning and members who stayed behind the scene with all the supports provided.

It ain't easy to complete an expedition, because it involves with a firmed decision making to be part of it, to get ready ourselve with proper equipments for different mountain's criteria, to finished the expedition itself in fit condition, strong mentality and return ourselve to our family in good condition.

It is even tougher to be the planner and supported team, to ensure not just only good trip planning, but as well as needed to ensure appropiate equipments, food, transportation. With reasonable time frame for completion, afforadable cost and carry-able loads.

In additional, it is no longer just human to complete the expedition, but ODA today's had once again crossing another milestone of realizing a Pet's - Puffy ODA Lim to complete her 1st G7 in her life.

Bravos ODA, Bravos to All, Bravos Puffy !!!!!

It's always an Honor
