Congratulations to every G.Angsi/Datuk expedition participants for completing a trip full with challenging (Night walk, Night bath, bad weather, etc) !!
After 2 years, ODA decided to conduct a trip to G.Angsi again…But, due to some problems from G.Angsi office, we again, decided to change our destination to G.Datuk, another mountain which majority participants in this trip never visit before.
For me, the most significant event during this trip was raining heavily after we taking photos in G.Datuk Peak. We only managed to take a few photos at G.Datuk’s Peak, before raining. All those ladders become very slippery, and therefore we have to be extra careful when we descend from G.Datuk’ Peak especially when we go down by using all those ladders.
When we realised that rain is getting stronger and stronger, then we decided to stay at a small cave until the rain stop. Thanks to Chee Loong for carrying up all other members backpackto the cave, so that all those backpack wont get wet. And also thanks to Chian Nii, forboiling some hot hot water for us.
Fortunately, after an hour of freezing, finally we able to leave the cave and continue descend to carpark.
Besides that, I’m very enjoy the time with my group (Group 1) members. They are Monica, Jai Wong, Adrian, Alfred, Xue Er, and also Yi Ming.
Group 1 leader, Monica - you has improved a lot from the last time I saw you which was East
West trip. This trip, from what I saw, you able to managed the group well by assigning tasks and items accordingly and able to get things done faster and better. Other than that, as a group leader, you willing to teach and share your knowledge with other group members, this is great ! Keep it up!! Hope you can continue improve yourself and become better.
Jai Wong- Thanks for being our professional photographer and shooting so many of beautifulphotos during trips. Is not easy to carry a camera up and down all the time especially during hiking. Besides that, in this trip you are one of the most senior participants, and you willing to share your knowledge and skills with other group members which are still new.
Adrian- Although this was only your 2nd hiking trips with ODA, but you already started picking up some skills like cooking skills, assist in setting up flysheet, and etc. During the night at LubukPetai, if I’m not mistaken, the noodles that you cooked is tasty (far more better than Bujang Melaka trip potato), this showed the improvement in your cooking skill. Continue in your effort, Hope you can improve more in coming trips !!
Alfred- After January G.Datuk trip, 6months later, you visited G.Datuk again..hahaha..But this trip you are different from previous trip especially you manage to overcome your fear and climbed to G.Datuk peak in one-shot. Congratulations !! Not only that, another good thing from you was this time you are more volunteer to do something like cooking, cleaning up after our meal, etc. Keep it on ! You can do better !!
Yi Ming & Xue Er- This trip, finally we put both of you into the same groups !! This is the 2nd trip with ODA for both of you. Both of you has improved and perform better in this trip. Xue Er prefer cooking more than preparing ingredients while Yi Ming always like to preparing ingredients. So when preparing our meals, both of them will always work together to get it done faster. Without the effort from both of you, I think we will not get our meals done so fast. Thank you !! =)
Last but not least, thanks to Trip Leader, ODA Pang Siew Ting for putting so much of effort in planning and preparing items for this amazing trip. She startedto plan and even do pre-marking for this trip very early to ensure that everyone are able to enjoy the trip. Other than that, she also the person who bought all the food for our trip ! Once again, Thank you !!
And of course, thousand of thank you to our ODA Advisor, Miss Lim Kwee Hoon for spending a lot of time for the preparation of this trip too. She always be the one who guided us from before trip preparation( pre-marking, trip planning, and etc) until the trip end. We have to thanks for her for creating so much of joke and bring us so much of fun during trip..Thankssss !!!
Lastly, thanks to all others ODA Committees, Chian Ni & Bee Suan for helping out and take caring participants during trip, and Jimmy for helping us for the preparation for trip. Without all the help from everyone, we can’t make this trip a success!! Thank you !!
