25oct-27oct First Angsi Trip 2008

Firstly, thanks to my fren,Fu Yaw, let me know about ODA. I'm the person who like outdoor activities. Really thanks to him that without him, I won't know all this Angsi Trip members. Actually at first, i am wondering to go or not, coz on the day back from Angsi trip, it's my bday.(really feel shy to tell it, i just want to write on in to keep my memory fresh) At last, i made the decision to go.
Angsi Trip is my FIRST TRIP climbing mountain of my life. I think it's hard for me to forget it.haha. I never think before that I have the chance to experience the night walks, sleep in the tent, cook using small gas stove and messtin, cleaning plates without detergent and no bath for 3 days and ... All of these collect in my memory...
I remember the day went to briefing at metro view condo. I went alone. So pity.. Thats why others keep on asking me to bring more frenz come.haha. Thats fine, at least i meet u guys. When the day came, i went to carrefour to buy some snacks, where i heard on the day of briefing we can bring it. But that day Fu Yaw help me to pack for bagpack, he told me not to bring it next time,coz that snacks no good..haiyo..tell early larr, buy the snacks like chocolate that can bring energy. so lame~ We gather at TARC gate, i had been arranged to sit in Ms. Lim's car-hilux. haha, coz i looked very tiny, izzit? haha. Actually is her car already fix up with all the bagpacks.
Vivian lost the way to Ulu Bendol, now i just know.=.=!!! That's why we stop at half way waiting for him to come. We arrive at Ulu Bendol at night. I wonder why all the people put on their sport shoes, originally we are having night walks.. no one tell me, how i gonna know? So, i quickly put on my shoes too.hehe. When all of us been prepared well and carry on our bagpacks, we started the journey to Kak Lang campsite. Tata's bagpack strap break on the half way, i also just know about it.=.= no wonder we rest for a couple of times waiting for them. But the journey really very tough, how can imagine that walk in the forest at night without torchlight? luckily i got a small torchlight pen~
I think we arrive at Kak Lang campsite at around 9.++pm. We set up the tent, and start cook for dinner+supper that night, eating spagetti, after that fry for the chicken slices, boil eggs to prepare the following morning breakfast. Vivian bring watermelon to campsite, so warm still can eat fruits at that place. That's seem crazy for me know that Ms. Lim and Siew Ting going to bath at the river that night! do u know how the water is? I really admire them!! I know lar, u 2 had been experience for so much times already! But i still can't accept it! till now, when i refresh it, still unbelievable, thats why i didnt bath for 3 day. haha. That night, i went to sleep earlier becoz nothing to do anymore..thats for the day.
The next morning, pity Pooi Kuan lost her spectacles when brush herself ar the riverside. Nice Chue Leng lend her spec to Pooi Kuan. After having breakfast, all of us are going to prepare to climb up to the peak! becoz of i'm still blur blur n nobody tell me about that need not to bring the peak, i thought of it's no weird, at last sam complaint about it, i just know that at first they plan not to overnight at the peak so no need to carry the bagpack to the peak. No matter how, we step to the journey again to the peak! During the journey, the route was really tough, never try before, my legs really ache. We had few breaks during the journey.
We start our journey at 11am, when i arrive at the peak, it was almost 3-4pm. Imagine the hours we take for the jouney to the peak! It's not easy.oh ya, i remember a sentence that Siew Ting told me, she said, when we climbing mountains, if u not eat, your breast will become smaller. (the situation is that we having break eating burgers) how funny is she! It was memorable that Ah Thoo and I were the first step on the peak, and enjoy the view, the wind blow~~haha! I'm not weak too~ the rest of them still break down there. Ah Thoo receive a call that we need to go down helping them. Actually it's a few steps to the peak already~
Congratulate to all of you conquer Gunung Angsi!!
All of us rest for a while, taking pictures and the nice views at the peak, chit chat between each others. After that, we cook for our dinner again. This night our food really plenty of it. We eat all the stuffs so that we need not to carry on again when we descend from the peak. That night, all of us have the good chance to chat together and seeking for the stars, but that night dont have stars!! My phone keep ring whole the day, actually it is all at once my mum, my sister call me at that time~ Ah Thoo, Eng Boon, Sam, Chue Leng, Tata and Vivian, u guys dont treat me like i'm busy people lar..haha~ we listen to music, chit chat and Tata keep telling the cold jokes, he's really funny and he is great that set up the tents without others helping hand.
After that, we went to sleep..
27 oct, it was the day we are going back. We pack all our things again. There's another group of people stay overnights at Kak Lang campsite arrive at the peak. We asking them to help us take our group photo. Around 9am we descend from the peak. My leg is hard to control that when i descend i need to control my legs so that i won't be too fast. Luckily, i am safe.
Thanks to Ah Thoo, Chue Leng, Vivian, Pei Shan, Eng Boon and Pooi Kuan sing bday song to me~really touching!!

When arrive at Kak Lang campsite again, many of them bath at the river again~play play at there and have a rest before we go out. All the rubbish been carrited out too. We safely arrive at the Ulu Bendol recreation park at noon. That day is public holiday, Happy Deepavali to me too~haha~ So, there is many people go there having picnic.. i just realize how big is the park!!
thanks to Vivian send me to station LRT that day~ i appreciate for it and all others people help~

thx to ODA let me add some nice memory in my college life =)..i think i remind back something that i forget during last trip...ok stop here loh.thx to ppl who read my feedback and ODA..thx my team member and all other member..thx XD

Angsi

Mount Angsi is my second trip with ODA. Still the same committees except Chian Nii and Miss Lim. When it dawn on me that I have to walk for one hour to the campsite that night, I was like: OH MY GOD………… I was cheated by those committees. As a matter of fact, I need to carry the backpack to hike for the whole trip. Luckily I did not die and reach to the top. Wahahahaha….. thank god:p

Thanks to TATA who kept on encouraging and talking to me all the way, and all those gentlemen and gentlewomen who helped me. I really appreciate it. Besides, I want to apologize to him cause I really have no extra energy to answer his questions during that time. Surprisingly, I forget about all the tiredness when I stepped on the peak. They just flied away as the wind blew. Lying on the grass was really a good memory for me. However, there was too much mist during the night until we had no chance to say hi to the stars and moon.

It’s only a few participants compared to last trip. However, we get to know each other better this time. It’s my pleasure to know all the other members. We had good chef, good music provider, good photographer, good singer and funny jester. All made this trip happening and memorable.

In a nutshell, thanks for my buddies Chue Leng and Pooi Kuan who joined this trip together with me, giving me so much fun and memory. But so pity Pooi Kuan lost her glasses. Thanks to the organizer, ODA who linked all of us together and wait for me all the way. Hope to see you all soon!

Gunung Angsi - 买花生的故事

There is a food court at Cheras which there're many 中国妹 selling peanut,tissue,lottery ticket ...etc items. Selling items is to cover up their real business, in actual these 中国妹 provide other "indoor service" as well.

Tata curious bout it long time ago, but don't have the guts to visit. Finally Jai Wong is back and agree to go with Tata to check it out.On the day before we gather at Tar College, they decided to have meal at this food court. Not too long after they sat, girls started to approach them, pushing items to sell.
Here is the conversation :


中国妹 : 先生, 你要买花生吗? (hand on Tata's shoulder)
Tata: 不要, 谢谢. (with his head down,not dare to look,keep eating noodle)
中国妹: 哎哟,我到现在还没卖到花生, 别这样,帮帮忙,买花生吧.
Tata: 不要,谢谢 (head raise a bit, check on the girl,face ok, body not ok)
中国妹: 哟...别害羞啦,进了房间, 你就不害羞了.
Tata: (Silent)
中国妹: 怎麽那样小气!!!! (walk away)

After awhile, come another girl trying to sell lottery ticket to Tata with same conversation. Same thing happen.
Then the 1st girl approach again,once again she is standing beside Tata. Before she start the peanut conversation, she look through, and found out its Tata, and she said:"

中国妹 : 哟!!!怎麽还是你们呀!!!! (angry and walk away)

Tata is very 纳闷 on the incident, "why the girls keep going after him, but not to Jai Wong?" "Does he really look like a 嫖客 more than Jai Wong?"

At Angsi Peak, we get to know that in fact Tata had lots of snack, some of it is peanut in his backpack. So, we wonder where he gets the peanut from, according to Tata, its his mom who bought for him :)

第一次@ Gunung Angsi

第一次和ODA去爬山,认识了新朋友,第一次喝河水,用沙洗碗筷,几天没冲凉,让平时少做家务的我学习如何的在恶劣的环境下生活(其实还好吧,是我平时被照顾得太好了)

有笑声,有汗水。虽然爬上去的过程非常之辛苦,但那一份成就感是无法形容的,我从没想过自己可以背着这么一大个背包爬到山顶,我要记住这一种感觉,不停的往上爬的精神,挑战自己的体力。。。

站在山的最高点,吹着凉凉的风,发现原来天空是这么的宽阔,之前的辛苦都忘了。。
Tata 超冷的笑话,Ms. Lim 和Siew Ting的歌声,让这次的旅程生色不少。Andy 和Chiann Nii 总是静静地,斯文有礼。Eng Boon, Ah Thoo 和泽香的三人行,Pooi Kuan和Pei San哪会长的相像?Sam 和我怎样看都不像暧昧啊。。。还有我的组长,Vivian竟然是男的。。。非常感谢他的拔刀相助,才不至于那天briefing后我的车爆胎而落得狼狈的下场。

谢谢你们总是等待+忍耐我和sam的慢速度。。没丢下我们。。。



还有,Gunung Angsi 给我的纪念品:双脚的瘀伤
ODA的committees,你们可以做得更好的!



P/S:买花生的故事,我还不知道哦!
