G.Bujang Melaka Expedition

When i ask my friend to join this trip, many of them asked..where is it located?? Is it near Malacca?? No it is near Kampar, Perak. This is the first time i visited this mountain, and i have learned something from this trip. Do not underestimate mother nature. Such as the rain and cold earlier in the morning at the carpark and also the shower when we reach Camp Lebah. Totally did not expected we will encounter such a cold weather... ...G Bujang Melaka have one of the nicest waterfall i seen in the mountains.....really got the urge to dip into pool..but because of safety reasons, we do not go there. Safety first, others second.

This trip remind me of when i started to hike mountains especially 2008 Chabang. That time still do not know why we go mountain. Enjoying the process is more important than reaching a destination. After that then we will know why we come. Besides that, Bujang Peak reminded me of Melantai - Bees...do not know why they came to the peak when we arrives. Maybe because some of us are SWEET ?? lol...... ....Since went to Sarawak, there are no mountain for me to hike, it is good to be back here and hike with ODA...there is not place like home.

Get to know new friends in this trip and meet back old friends...hope that i am not too serious during trip..haha...actually i am serious on the outside, humour in the inside just like durians, hard on outside, soft in the inside. Last but not least many thanks to trip leader Siew Ting for organizing this trip successfully and all of us safely reach KL on Sunday. Also many thanks to Lausi, ODAs for this wonderful trip. Not forgetting members in the same group, thank you all very much. Some advise ya, next time the food please cook according to planning. ODA meal plan is one of the best recipe in the forest...till then see you guys soon!!!!

Thousand of thanks in the previous posts, here I just summarized all the thanks to everyone (ODA committees and 34 trip members) who directly and indirectly assisted the trip to be the success one.

The story I share with my friends after the trip is Puffy! I have no faith with pet, as my skin allergy to animal’s fur (seriously skin allergy for few yrs when I had pet before). I avoid it till that day I met Puffy, haha~ she had impressed me. I am proud with it, first time I served dog and continuously challenge myself.

Puffy’s spirit: keep on moving no matter what happened around, raining, tiredness, bite by leeches, injury… there are assistances always be around when she needed.

The night closest with mother earth was nice, it makes me exactly out from those hectic life. Cooking, laughing, teasing, playing, eating, drinking and blow watering together were fun! We have dishes with special add-on, traditional loud speaker with mess tin, tricky games, coloring drink, nonstop snacking, amazing watermelon in campsite, natural freezing air and water…

I really enjoy the trip and you guys impressed me. Although the process is tough but the spirits in the trip -helping, supporting, sharing, and caring each other are precious.

See then, ODA~

34 people to Bujang Melaka Expedition

2010 May Gunung Bujang Melaka Expedition

Once again thank you all 34 members who join ODA 2010 Gunung Bujang Melaka expedition. With all of you present, We had officially make announcement on closing early a week before dateline due to overwhelming respone. This is something very good when i know alot of ODA new + old members will come to join us again. All of you has give ODA alot of support,and spirit to keep on raised up ODA flag again and again all these years.



Alot of my friends asking me same question :"Siew Ting, what do you love about Mountain Climbing Activity? What has inspired you to do that all these years?" Seriously, at first i doubt on my decision to involve in Mountain Climbing Activity. Because i know, when the time i involve in Mountain Climbing activity i am no longer the normal person again. Especially, i have to go through ODA training and guidance from ODA Advisor - Ms Lim. To shape me to be the better person, responsible person, Persistant person, outstanding person, independence, leadership skills, management skills, communication skills, and the trust, rappo between me and others people. I keep on asking myself,and to find out the truth.Whether i really like hiking? or i like Mother Nature? or i enjoy the moment with friends?or i fall in love to all ODA members? Yes, no doubt all the reason above has make me return to Mountain Climbing activity with ODA.They are just amazing!!! Back to 5 years ago, i am not the one who u know me today. I am self fish, immature, not confident person, not responsible person and want everyone concerntrate on me all the times. However,I am believe many of my friends are see me growth alot in ODA within these 5 years. As Alice Leong, Harry Ang, Lee Chee Loong they are my really old friends and know me well. I am sure they will see the differences and changes of me ;p

Alice - i have invite her to join me to climbing activity since years 2006. But everytimes she will reject me. But, i am didnt give up to called her to join me everytime. Finally 2010 Irau trip, she has step out the first step to try out Mountain Climbing activity in her life. Really good to see you in ODA trip, you have make a big step ahead.

Harry - The one who go together to join ODA activity with me. Our first trip at Gunung Angsi,2005 yaa..I am still remembered he told me this statement after come back from ODA few trips :"Siew Ting, i think you are too crazy in Mountain Climbing activity". That time, i didnt say anything and just act silent.Like this icon -> ;0 hahaha...ya,i am really crazy. However,really happy to see you return to Bujang and coming East West trip again.From the decision u make, i can see that you are very support ODA and me all the times.Is you time to "crazy"!!!

Lee Chee Loong - No more words i can describe him. He is definately Mr OK.Everything, everwhere,everytime also ok.What else you not ok?Let me know.hahaha...4 years ago, invite him to join ODA Bujang trip.Compared his first Bujang trip and today Bujang trip, we can see him totally change. Small backpack upgrade to Big Backpack. Light Weight upgrade to Heavy weight.Last man upgrade to First man.People assist upgrade to assist people now.

3 of the person above, has squeeze up my brain whole week after come back from Bujang trip. I thinking why they will come back?what they have change?what make them keep on continue it?i see them growth, change in their life after join climbing activity. They learn how to appreciate people around them, make a move, persistent,sharing with anyone. In ODA, we always believe that those who join us to climbing activity they are good person. Cause you all can sleep in the dome without air con and pillow,cooking without a proper kitchen, eating without a good taste food. All these things are not easy as for a normal person. But through out this, you will find out more of your own limitation and understand more on yourself.

Ser Siew, Jie Yi, Eng Wah,Phey Ying, Yi Ming, Xue Er,Poh Ling, Adrian,Arnold, Hui Sim, Weina, Siew Kong,Weng Kit, Giah Lin - This is the first time you all join ODA or maybe first time try out this activity. Ofcos, is a tough activity. Maybe some people will choose not to come back or touch any regarding mountain climbing activity again.But somehow, i believe this is only the beginning and 14 of you will continue on this healthy activity in your life. Go beyond your limit!!!

Kwang Leong, Tata,Jai Wong,Swee Sing,Zhi Hong,Siukat,Kenn,Chee Loong,Alice,Harry - So tough activity, but what has make your return on this activity again and again? I guess each of you have own reason and answer deep inside you heart. You all are really help out us alot before,during and even after trip.To shared your knowledge with first comer,to assists members in trip,to deliver positive energy to everyone! Thumbs Up!!!

For Bujang trip driver - Laosi, Zhi Hong,Kwang Loeng,Kenn,Chee Loong,Siew Kong and Wei Kit.Thanks for drive your car to the trip.After trip,normally people are already very tired. But you all still have a big responsibility to send everyone back to Taman Bahagia lrt station.Good job,Everyone are return safety!!!

Last, ofcause want to express my gratitude to all ODA members to make Bujang trip possible.Sian Seong,FuYaw,Monica,Chian Nii,Jimmy, Bee Suan has put alot of effort to prepared the whole trip.Without them,i am sure the trip are not successful as we wish.Not forgot,Ms Lim best friends - En.Lan,En.Sham,En.Arif come and join us and assist us alot whole trip.Our respectful ODA Advisor Ms Lim, to guide us and shared with us her knowledge,life,experiences all the times.Only one words to dedicate for her : "SALUTE".I love everyone of you and Thank you!!!

Let's continue our faith. See everyone in coming trip!!!

Best Regards,
Pang Siew Ting

ODA 2010 Bujang Melaka Trip

Bujang Melaka, heard this name years ago, but never been there before... Heard Lao Shi say that the last trip when they go Bujang Melaka, they lost for few hours.. Thanks to Lao Shi, Pang, Bee Suan, Puffy, Chee Loong, Kenn and Kwang Leong. Although everybody were busy with your works and life, but still you all go to do pre-marking at Bujang Melaka at the beginning of April. Thanks to you all... we didn't manage to get lost and save our time, energy in this trip.

This time i am a group 4 member, very thanks to my group leader, Kenn who did manage our group very well. I am so sorry that most of the time i didn't do anything or even didn't appear in our group, but you all still treat me so good. Almost most of the job is done by you and our group member. And it's touching when during day 2 dinner, you all insist to wait for me to have dinner together. Thanks to it and it's a good role model for us. A good job as a first timer of being group leader. Although you were first time being group leader, but you are willing to learn it, ask when you have anything not understand. And also thanks to you, because of you, our group have many group photo, very enjoy seeing the photo.

Eng Wah, Jie Yi and Ser Siew, also known as Puchong 3 musketeers, thank you for joining us. You three walks so fast during the trip, always be the first few to reach destination, no matter is Camp Lebah or Bujang Melaka peak. Or I should say I walk too slow =P Very great to know 3 of you, you guys talk less, but work fast, anything or task assign to you all, you all will done it well. Eng Wah, thanks for help carrying the dome, and the ABC soup really very nice and delicious. Jie Yi and Ser Siew, thanks for preparing the dinner and cooking the instant noodle for the whole group. Oh ya, also thanks Jie Yi for cooking the vege fried rice and instant noodle for me too^^... Hope you guys really enjoying the trip. And, very thanks for helping Puffy wrap her wound...

Tata, long time no see... Tata is still Tata, you always bring fun to group. Heard that the dinner is preparing by you and Kenn (I dunno larh, cause i not in the group), but it is very nice. And very happy that after Batu Putih trip, you come back and join us again, plus you bring your friends along, Weng Kit. You guys always be the last few to reach cause of helping others.

Weng Kit, before the trip, heard Kenn say that you are a scout, this is the first impression of you in my mind. After meet with you, found out that you are a nice guys, humor. During dinner time, heard them keep say that your tongue is very 'geng', is it you were the one who put marks on the dish and give opinion after taste it, therefore our dinner all meal is so delicious? Hehe... Thanks for driving your Kenari and wait for Zhi Hong.

Swee Sing, great to see you again after Irau trip. You are still so sweet and beautiful. Your fried rice is nice, don't bother them who said their's is nicer.... Hehe, all also delicious larh... Compare to Irau, you do more preparation in this trip, new socks, new shoes, short pants, wrap items with plastic bag, pack things more faster ady... A good job!

Siew Kong, a quite guy. So suprise to see the items in your backpack, just like Ser Siew said, Doraemon pocket! Hehe, thanks for bringing those items for our group usage. And your camera, very 'cun' lerh... both side also can see the image, and thanks for your camera too, it captured lots and lots of memorable image.

Group 1, group 2 and group 3 member, very nice to meet all of you. Adrian, Arnold, Yin Ming, Xue Er, Pauline, Elaine, Harry, Weina and Sim, thanks for joining us in this Bujang Melaka trip. I think it does bring some different memory to all of you, hopes that you all enjoy the trip.

LCL, Kwang Leong, Zhi Hong, Siu Kat, Jonique and Jai Wong, great to see you all again in mountain. Very great to know that some of you even bring new friends to join us. I believe that you all also did share with them your experience.

To Lan, Arif and Sham, thanks for the guiding and helps along the trips. It's been long time didn't meet with you all. Every time meet with you all, sure there will be something put in my pocket. Thanks!

Last but not least, trip leader, Siew Ting, thanks for organizing this Bujang Melaka trip. It's a big trip. Thanks for spending your time, energy and effort to plan the trip and also to make sure the whole trip run smoothly. ODA Adviser Lao Shi, thanks for the guiding and support before, during and after the trip. There are many small items or matter, sometimes we didn't take note of it, and the feel of mountain, but you will bring us back to there. SS, FY, Bee Suan, Jimmy, Monica and Puffy. With the teamwork, support, corporate, this trip been organize successfully.

Thanks to every member of Bujang Melaka trip, with everyone of you, each of you create and leave a memorable page for me. Wish everyone of you have a great, happy and healthy life!

GUnuNG BujAnG MelAKa~ 30/4-2/5

这次我要感谢ODA adviser-LAOSI 还有 ODA committee-PST, HFY, SSS, ABS, ACN, JIMMY, GG & MR 给我机会加入这个大家庭. 让我感到开心又害怕.

开心的是可以在这个环境学到很多很多不一样的体验, 如睡在帐篷里无论是热, 冷, 脏, 臭, 挤等还是一样可以睡的很熟甚至于不想起床.

害怕嘛是在一个污漆嘛黑的环境下, 我们的一举一动还是会被某人关注的.

HFY & SSS 还有SHAM你们三位真的很棒, 让我们轻易的走过那段危险又挑战的斜坡. 所谓团体精神, 感谢你们的爱.

很高兴的可以认识到新朋友也乘机和老朋友聚在一起, 还有老师的老朋友SHAM, LAN & ARIS 这三位拥有二十几年登山经验. 短短的对话间中也学到了不少知识, 特别要谢谢SHAM指导我下山坡的步伐.

看来只是花我三天两夜的时间就可以换来很多有意又健康, 你又何而不为呢?

那就说定咯我们下个trip liang east west 见!
