Having all the old hiking buddies around, it is always good to see each of you again.
Our stories begin years way back. As years goes by, we have grown up from caring school bag around until caring laptop, camera, tools and money, but whenever we meet each others in jungle again, nothing change. Each of us still wearing same hiking shoes, hiking shirt, backpack when we meet.
There is always one things in mind, thanks to each of your cares, loves, blessing and support to me all these years.
It is as well a very special trip to us - we have the youngest participant who is 14 years old a.k.a ODA Advisor's Nephew Neo Hon Xien
A boy who had been following from time to time since six years ago to some minor trip, who had encountered several times of skin allergy, incomplete trip and yet facing another impossible obstacle of rejection from National Park Guide 14hrs prior to our departures to Pinnacles - He had make the impossible to "I am Possible." - with the believe of "Miracles" and finally we have made it together until 2.1KM, the 4th ladders, 300m to go before The Pinnacle Summit.
There are no words could be describe the best, on those moments we hike along with him, seeing his determination and focus to complete all the obstacles along the way.
There are so many things I have learnt from him, the positive thinking of him all the way, his concerns of everyone, to boost everyone mood, emotion and spirit, he is definitely an energy giver to all of us even during his own energy low moment.
This trip could not happen without the present for all the backup support and planning, hard work, communication with the National Park month ago. It is always confident boost and feel secured with the present of all of them as well as those behind the scene manpower. Although it is an incomplete trip for me this round, but we will make sure there is always next round completion. After all, being safe and enjoy the moments are always the priority with the present of all good people around.
Looking forward to see each of you in coming trip again. I wish everyone of you healthy and all the best in you study and working!
