batu puteh's feedback from tAta...

Haha... Sorry for late updating my feedback r... Err... This Batu Puteh trip was quite tough leh... Can say is the most tough trip that I had went before de... This trip only have 6 participants, 12 ODA commitees and 3 profesional hikers... The 3 pro-hikers are LAN, ARIF and SHAM. I feel great to meet them. They are very kind and friendly... This trip is my first time to Gunung Batu Puteh...

Feel like I had learn many things in this trip, but I dunno how to say out and share with you all. But I think other participants in this trip also have the same feeling with me right? Hee... Here I want to say thank you to ODA and the three pro-hikers. They guided and leaded me along the trip. Lastly, I am looking forward the next trip with ODA in the future... Hehe...

Flavorable Journey

It's been awhile before I finally could push myself to write this. My mind was blank before this, I couldn't think of anything to write, though there are lots of things to write about from Batu Puteh trip.

First of all, as usual, a million thanks again to ODA for making this trip a reality not just for me, and even for the participants. This is again something I would cherish and talk about to anyone in my life.

I noticed that in most feedbacks for this trip, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy flavor have been the core tastes in describing, which I couldn't stop agreeing more about. We surely experienced many different things in this 3D2N Expedition.

I have been to ODA's both Pre Tahan Training trips, though my intention memang not to go Tahan actually. I merely wanted to test myself how far I could go and the result...I have never been so proud of myself before ^_^.

I managed to learn lots of things in these trips, too many to describe here. One thing I have learnt and will never forget is the importance of TeamWork. I didn't know how great its' impact to anyone until I started hiking with ODA. TeamWork is not just merely getting something done together, it also means helping and supporting each other physically, mentally and emotionally. It helps everyone in the team to focus on one Goal and putting faith in moving towards this Goal. Amazing ho!

I really enjoyed the trip and I have gotten lots of souvenirs from it like multiple love bites from mosquitos and sandbugs, blue blacks from bumping on tree roots and branches and scars from thorns making autographs when I happened to touch them. I didn't like the tired part of climbing ups and downs and sliding down slippery muds, but now thinking back...it wasn't that bad after all. I remember most is definitely the part when we all managed to complete this 'game' together.

So what's your next adventure after Tahan, ODA? Make sure you inform me yea...Cheers and Peace ;).

Btw, good luck to those who will be going to conquer G Tahan. And look out for each other when you guys were there yea...Have fun and make sure to update your experience here after you return.

Sara signing off now...

Gunung Batu Puteh one word "TOUGH".


Gunung Batu Puteh 这座山给我的心情是害怕,紧张和担心。害怕是因为自己,担心是因为体力和上山的速度。不过也很兴奋和期待。在四月三十号晚上大家将会在Cikgu Zubir的家住一晚。在往Cikgu Zubir家的路途中,Pang 给了我很多的鼓励和经验。告诉自己不要想那么多只要我们一直转注往上爬,不要一直停,一定到终点。这番话真的给了我很大的鼓励和力量,Pang 谢谢你!

在这三天两夜的路程我学到很多体验。尝试用跨大脚步爬,上气接不到下气的时候Laosi叫我呼吸的方法 ,用力的呼吸。走不动的时候,Laosi 和Pang 一路都在推动我。Push~~!! Push~~!! Push~~!! 。尝试用歌来激励自己。自己的意志力到那里??没有尝试自已根本不知道,一旦尝试不知不觉已经来到了gunung batu puteh. 还有Tapah member Lan, arif 和Sham 的特征。真的不可思议。


最后,我要谢谢Laosi 和Trip leader huey Woon 也感谢全部ODA Committee Pang, MR, Andy, Sian Seong, Pooi Kuan, Yee Ji, Chen Shen, Chian Nii。


还有就是你们的支持 Sara, Ka Chai, Tata, Jai Wong , Hang and Boon Ping 谢谢你们一路以来的加入。


2009 ODA Gunung Tahan, 加油!! 加油!!




Bt Puteh - Last PTT for Gunung Tahan



Batu Puteh - Last PTT for Gunung Tahan

To get ready our self to Gunung Tahan, these are the flavor all of us need to gone through... i believe all candidates pass by "Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Spicy" flavor in all the trips. If compared as 2006 Tahan Trip, there requirement in ODA is very high and strict in 2009.

Gunung Tahan - Mentality 80%, and Physical 20% (cited in ODA Enstein LFY,2006). A men with a 100% ready physical fitness, doesn't mean he can reach Gunung Tahan (Kuala Tahan - Kuala Tahan). However, "MENTALITY" is a key word remain the person to success visit Gunung Tahan and come back with Glory, happiness, feel great in their life!!! Without their strong mentality, to focus, to decide, to judge, to independent, to talking positive to themselves, team mates everyday, they will failed in their life ever after visit Gunung Tahan even though how good is their physical fitness.

This is my 3rd Gunung Tahan trip. Many will stop climbing after Gunung Tahan, as for me, i want to go to Tahan (KUALA TAHAN-KUALA TAHAN)as long as i able to. Cause going to Tahan is not longer the urge of glamor of reaching Tahan. Somehow,it has become a must visit place to do self-check/evaluation. One of the lesson Tahan had taught me is self completing Tahan can be done by anybody,but getting a team ready to Tahan is a higher stage in Mountain climbing....

Bt Puteh, is a last chance for candidates to perform the best of them. To see how well of us get ready to Gunung Tahan. I think everyone know whether you own already ready during Bt Puteh trip.

Thanks to LFY, bring ODA to Bt Puteh experience what is called as the real mountain before going Gunung Tahan, and i understand all this because u want see us good and not to suffer during Tahan and burden for the rest of members.

Thanks to Trip Leader, Huay Woon for prepared the Bt Puteh trip. This trip is not a easy, normal trip. As the preparation is long, serious for ready to Gunung Tahan. Of cause the planning will keep on edit until the best. However, u still manage well and coordinate with all group leaders and members. Keep on your spirit!!! continue chase your dream,decide the destination you want to. One day u parents will support u in Mountain Climbing activity. They will know how great of their child.

Thanks to all ODA committees : Andy, Miing Rueng, Fu yaw, Sian Seong, Yee Jin, Chee Shen, Pooi Kuan, Chian Nii, Bee Suan. Without your support in ODA all the times, the things will not goes smooth. Appreciate it!!! Keep in Heart!!!

Jai Wong, Tata, Sara, Boon Ping, Chu Hang - All of u are so lucky have chance explore Bt Puteh with ODA! Thank u for joining us and support us this few years... I see all of u improvement for each trip u coming. It great to see that. And hope it will make u life become better!!!

2009 May 1st-3rd ODA PTT II- Gunung Batu Putih

Few days back from Batu Putih, skin infection is not fully recovered, muscle still not back to normal, still feel hungry most of the time. Looking at the calendar, we are few days away before Gunung Tahan. Received a reminder from Trip Leader- Huay Woon that we are almost approaching dateline on Batu Putih Blog. It's time to re-collect the falling pieces, get the blog done, and get ready for Tahan. Batu Putih, we've been through lots of situation, such as clearing up the blocked trail, long hours hiking, overshoot at Cave Junction, long hours feedback/self introduction session, long hours rain falls. long hours waiting patiently for everybody to reach each Check Point, long hours of body shaking due to cold temperature, overload backpack, sandflies and leeches attacked,From all the incidents mentioned above, we know that Batu Putih is not a "playing, fun" trip. It's a real mountain climbing trip. Prior to Batu Putih, ODA is having very busy schedule, trip follow by trip for every 2 weeks, I guess most of us 快要疯了!!!! Most of the time, our body not even fully recovered and we are on trip again. Nowadays when ODA meet each other, we will say one thing to each other "你瘦了"
When ODA appointed Huay Woon as trip leader of Batu Putih, I am very looking forward on her trip planning, cause this will be the 1st time she being as ODA trip leader. I want to see whether is this ODA crystal ready to turn to be ODA diamond? When i received her trip planning few days later, I know ODA will have another new significant history created by Huay Woon by the time she is ready to be as ODA President.I know Huay Woon is not too happy that we have change most of her trip meal plan and feels that she being as trip leader seems like just a title. But I hope she will understand that Batu Putih = Last Pre Tahan Training. The trip planning she has done, is close to 100% perfection - You should believe it. Thanks for the good trip planning, you really did GREAT!!!!Along the trip, thanks for carrying most of my tiny little toys and keep each of the items in good shape, without lossing it.... (opps, Pang - I didn't mean to talk about you again, but i guess i will keep talking about it for 17 years)..... ~~Miing Rueng, Pand and Andy - Again we're at Batu Putih, same mountain, different group of people, different stories but same heart. I'm looking forward on 2009 ODA Tahan along with 3 of you. Remember prior the result been announced, we prepare that Tahan might be just 4 of us this year if non of the candidates are READY???? Andy always said, if there is no LFY, there will be no ODA, i would like to said, if there is no 3 of you, ODA won't be as today. Millions of Thanks to 3 of you.
Batu Putih members (Sara, Jai Wong, Ka Chai, Tata, Chu Han and Boon Ping). Thanks for joining the trip along with ODA and thanks for your supports and blessing given to ODA. Hopefully one day you will decided to attempt Tahan along with the rest of the ODA. Special Thanks to Sara and Ka Chai.... having both of you along with ODA on the 2 Pre Tahan Training, open my eyes that actually ODA had READY members to go Tahan together in future.Chu Han, don't worry too much about delaying the whole team, most importanly..... we come back together at the same time.
Tahan Candidates (Sian Seong, Yee Jin, Pooi Kuan, Chian Nii, Bee Suan and Fu Yaw):- Result is been announced, i know each of your have strike for the best during the Pre Tahan Training. No regrets on what had happen, at least you have given your best shoot in trying and ready to accept the rejected result. The courage found in each of you, is good enough than those who don't have the guts to give it a try. Work it out on whatever is necessary for next Tahan, a mountain climber is someone who never afraid to keep on trying.
Batu Putih is a very meaningful mountain to me, as from this mountain, i have experienced what is called as hypothermia at my young age, i have experienced been carried down to foothills by people's shoulders and stracthes; i have experienced 27 hours non stop raining; i have experienced wearing hiking shoes for whole night and sleep inside sleeping bag beside the trail; From all the incidents happen, i am thankful that i get to know a group of great mountain climbers who have carried me and looking after me during the incidents. We have become good buddy in hiking life ever since then. Although there is time that we have disagreement about mountains climbing purpose, but we will always remain as good buddy. Thanks to Lan, Arif Zubir, Anthony, Hasnole, Azimat and Sham.....
2009 May 15th - 25th : ODA will be at Gunung Tahan,
~Depart from Kuala Tahan and return via Kuala Tahan.~
WE ARE READY!!!!!

Batu Puteh Trip

First of all thanks for ODA organize this trip let those joining this trip have a different hiking experience as previous. And thanks a lot to all ODA committee who contribute a lot for this trip; trip won’t be smooth without your sacrifices. And I want to apologize that I’m late to kk gather before we depart to Tapah. “Guys, sorry for the inconvenient caused.” *.*


Batu Puteh trip really different from any others hiking trip that I have been. River crossing, endless slope, liana full with sting, going to wrong way, cold weather, storm at mid night, tent masuk air, night walk…… Luckily all is over; we safely reach to peak and back to home. Want to special thanks to Tapah members, without you all, I believe that that we can’t finish this trip (reach to peak) in 3 day 2 night time.



All ‘辣’ could be feeling in Batu Puteh.

:Safe reach to check point, campsite, peak, back to car park and balik rumah tidur.

:No need describe many, you can feel it from your body and leg…

:Endless slope, not enough sleep, hungry, tent masuk air, walk to wrong way and u-turn back then tomorrow need walk the same way again @.@

:Attack by insect, falling down, hand kena a lots duri ( you will never know when will you meet with it, exciting right?)

Every also suffer during this few day, but none of you are giving up on this trip. And you all show me that how teamwork spirit overcomes all difficulty we faced. I’m very proud of you all. Whenever I saw others trying to push themselves hard to continue their way to peak, my mind is hover with a song “陈奕迅 –> 路…一直都在

一段又一段走不完的旅程

什么时候能走完…
That’s just life,
笑对现实的无奈,
不能后退的时候,
不能彷徨的时候,
永远向前,
路一直都在’



These sentences are totally my feeling all the way approach to peak. I learn that no matter how our futures are; maybe full with difficulty or happiness, we still need to face all “” and work hard to overcome it, so that we can approach to our “PEAK”. Our road still there, so let’s fights for it.


Hope to see you all in next ODA trip!!! Take care & 加油!!!

Batu Putih trip 2009

Batu Putih trip, pre Tahan training, is really a tough trip. Although I have been heard story of Batu Putih from Lao Shi and Lan, already mentality prepared it will be a tough trip, but there are still have many unexpected(for me) things happen. Everybody also put their full efforts to make themselves qualify for the Tahan trip. From this trip I think a lot of things and talk a lots to myself.

Really thanks to Huay Woon. She really really put a lots of hardwork to prepare for this trip. I am admire of her brave.Also Lao Shi and Pang. Lao Shi already didn't come back for few weeks. She put a lot of effort to prepare for this Batu Putih and Tahan trip. Pang, I remember one sentence from your mouth at Banting office. The sifu say currently you are using your mentality to support yourself. That time feel pain. I can't and even didn't do anything. Ashame of myself. Of course all other committees, without you all, without Batu Putih trip 2009.

This trip very tough. Many times when i wanna give up, I think of one sentence from Pang, you tired, other people also tired, not only you. You feel your backpack heavy, others also heavy, even more heavier than yours. So i keep telling myself to proceed on, I believed Andy, Sian Seong those who are first man more tired than us. But they still come down to rescue us, didn't have even a complaint!

This trip I am 'abnormal'. But I learn a lot of things from Senior and Tapah members. Thanks to Andy for guide me in this trip. And Pang, when in the car, got 偷师a bit. Tapah members, once again see you all again, feel very glad. You three really takes good care of us. You three are very 贴心,细心,关心and also look after our自尊心. Don't know how to thanks you all. Arif, thanks for your smiles. Also Zubir and Anthony, really appreciate for lending us to sleep and pack our things at your place.

Tahan trip, 5 more days to go, GAMBADE to all of you!!! Although I am not qualify to go, but I will put more efforts to learn what i should learn and change what i should change. Be careful, waiting for you all to come back from Tahan safely. GAMBADE!!!

Gunung Batu Puteh 2009http://weareoda.blogspot.com/


Hi everyone.....First of all would like to thank trip leader Huay Woon for organizing and preparing this wonderful trip. Good Job!!! And not forgetting Ah Pang and Laushi that makes this trip a successful one. And also all ODAs that makes this trip possible. Not forgetting Tapah members that help us alot during this trip. Thanks.

This is the first time i went to Gunung Batu Puteh. I believe many of us are also the first time to this mountain. It is really a tough trip. After one week back from trip, leg still feels the tiredness from this hike...haha ....really a challenging mountain. Glad that all of us safely reach our home.

Before this trip, i've heard from Laushi, ODAs that Batu Puteh is a tough mountain. It is even harder than some of the G7s. This trip is the last pre tahan trainning for all of us. Whether we are prepared or not, depends on this trip. So everyone takes this trip very seriously...
Thanks to Laushi and ODA seniors espeacially Minng Rueng that point out my weaknesses before trip and the constant advice. So that i can learn and improve my weaknesses....I really did learned and improve alot in this trip. Skills and Mentality that learned from Batu Puteh is precious important to future hikes not only Tahan trip.

I still remember on a part on the way down from Batu Puteh, that time all of us are tired, I am tired. But i tell myself everyone is tired too, not only me, each of us have our own task. No matter what, we have to finish what we are responsible for. Then when hiking down, i keep on smilling to myself all the way down to control my tiredness and energy low. Smilling ,I said to myself -- fuyaw Go Go Go....,1,2,1,2,1,2....Go, Go GO....Haha..it works for me.....

There are still tons for me to improve and learn. In life we never stop learning....looking forward to next week Tahan trip. There still lots to prepare and to be ready. See you guys in ODA's next trip. GO GO GO!!!!!
2nd Pre-Tahan Training – Gunung Batu Putih !! We had worked it out together !!! Thanks to all ODA committees , participants, and also Tapah members . Without anyone of you , our trip wont completed smoothly.

Thanks a lot a lot to Trip leader – Tan Huay Woon , had put a lot effort on trip planning, briefing, trip preparation and get permission from her family. Don’t think you didn’t done anything during the trip , without you , who will done the trip planning before trip? who will prepared for trip briefing ?? Thanks to Assistant Trip Leader- Pang , another person who also helped a lot on this trip. She helped a lot on trip planning , decision making , and keep thinking how to helped other committees to get ready for TAHAN expedition. She used a lot of ‘brain’ on this trip. Another important person was our ODA advisor, she everyday keep thinking about this pre-tahan training and also our tahan expedition. She want us can be 100% ready for Gunung Tahan 2009 , so she keep analysis our weakness , and told us what to do to correct weakness , and what to change so that we can reach 100% ready for May Tahan Expedition . Beside that , Andy , Miing Rueng and Pang , as a senior , they tried their best to guide us and taught us everything they know. Thanks to Andy , he taught me a lot , during this trip , Andy and me always hike together , during the process, he never give up easily and this is the value I really had to learnt from him. Once again thanks to him for guiding me on this trip … Thanks !!

As everyone know , Batu Puteh is a last chance to test each candidate whether they are 100% ready for Tahan or not. Every candidate including me, are worried about whether we are 100% ready for Tahan or not . Finally , on Tuesday , we get to know our result . When I saw my name was qualified for Tahan Expedition , then I told myself , I must appreciate the chance given by ODA to learned more from senior and upgrade myself. Thanks for few others committee wishes , I will try my best to work it out !!! Gambateh everyone !!!

G.Batu Putih - 不一样的登山!

参加这次的登山活动可以说是我非常临时的决定,在我还没听简报(briefing)之前, 我以为这山应该像G.Nuang一样难,而我应该还是可以胜任的。 就这样我没去想那么多就匆匆忙忙打了一个电话给Siew Ting说我要去。但听了简报后加上几个资深ODA committee都说很难, 比G.Nuang难很多。 像我这种菜鸟,平时又没运动,最近又没参加他们的登山活动(G.Datuk, G.Yong.Belar, G.Nuang) ,我毫不犹豫当场就想打退堂不去了。 但过后,想想,既来之,则安之,老子我还是敢敢去吧....

这次登山对于那些将会去G.Tahan的ODA committees来说是非常重要,因为这是他们的G.Tahan pre-training. 因为这样, 不管是责任还是道理上给了我一种无形的压力。趁还没出发前, 我不得不提起劲来乖乖几天都有去跑步, 因为我真的怕自己体力不行,怕爬不上去,到时就算我对他们说千万个对不起也是无补于事, 你说对吗?就这样我做了一点准备,往G.Batu Putih出发去。

这次的登山路程对我而言真的有一点像西游记故事一样, 必需要过很多的难关才可以抵达顶峰,有竹林山,有沼泽地带, 有数不尽带刺植物等等。一路上又有很多吸血虫(leech)和蚊子对我们虎视眈眈,真的是少提起精神来都不行. 幸好我的神经线够敏感又有一双金精火眼,在它们还没有享受吸血乐趣之前,我已发现了它们,我会很潇洒硬硬把它们拔开或者打扁,然后先送它们去地狱转投做吃素虫虫去. 它们不入地狱,难道我咩?

这山有接近七千多尺高, 比金马崙还高, 山顶异常冷, 天气漂浮不定, 时吹大风时飘大雾时下起毛毛雨, 很刺激咧。我们一共用了两天一夜才到达顶峰, 你可想而知那是多么的遥远的路途啊. 张小娴女作家曾经说过, 世界上最遥远的距离,不是生与死,而是,我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你。我说她错了, 我觉得世界上最遥远的距离, 是我走着走着, 爬着爬着,怎么目的地却还没到呢? 这当然是我讲爽而已...呵。。。呵。。。其实上山还好, 虽然我总是包尾和慢但不会非常辛苦, 因为我有了心里准备, 不像我第一次登山(G. Nuang)那真的要了我的半条人命,很想半路就逃回家。呵。。呵。。。

好不容易经过了两天一夜翻山越岭,总算老子运气好, 在无惊无吓下安全抵达山顶。在山顶上,我们度过了一个有惊无险的夜晚,大概临晨2点多,突然下起大雨,又闪电又打雷,天气变成非常冷,真的很恐怖。另外,我睡的帐篷又漏水,我和其他队友一共四个人没法入睡,一起坐着背对背,他一句我句聊起男性话题来打发时间。整个晚上,我睡不到两小时,非常可怜,还记得当时的我突然想起了我那狗窝,一个每天睡我都不觉得怎样, 但此时此刻我却觉得它是最温软和可靠, 我原来是身在福中不知福, 呵。。呵。另外,我还发现原来在山顶山大便还真的不容易,尤其天气冷,一冷一缩,很考功夫, 真的一点都不简单哦, 哈。。哈。。

我们总共用了一天时间从山顶回到出发点,过程当然比上山容易, 但因为我两双鞋都湿了的关系,我两脚都起了大大的水泡, 非常痛,所以下山还是非常吃力。往出发点的路途又有很多斜坡,我也不知滑倒了多少遍,手脚都刺伤,才抵达目的地。令人欣慰的是总算大家都安全归来。。

总结:
每个人选择去登山都有不一样的理由,而我选择登山是逃避现实中的生活,繁忙的都市,拥挤的道路,压力,工作等等。这些林林总总的理由,登山毫无疑问是我最好的选择。经过了这一次的登山,我有所不一样的领悟,我觉得每一次的登山都有不一样的体验,它可以是一件开心,幸苦或者是自虐的事件。这没有一定的答案,最重要的是看你带着怎么样的心态去,登山可以是一件很开心的事,当然也可以是一件很辛苦的事件。。但却由你去选择。。还有一点是,要无时无刻有心理准备面对突发事件,比如:下大雨,路不通必须绕道,自己受伤,队员受伤需要帮助等等。如果这些你都有了心理准备,登山就轻松的多啦,所以心态真的很重要。

最后我也不会忘了在这里谢谢ODA的committes, 看到你们无私去帮助有需要的队员(这当然包括了我,不好意思),我非常感动和欣赏你们,也自觉自己非常惭愧,因为我连自己都顾不了,还要你们的帮忙,更别说去帮别的队员。 Thank you! 当然也不能忘了谢谢Perak的三位友族队员,一个经验老道乐于分享,一个幽默口出绵绵不绝笑话,一个体力超好开山劈路带路, 没有他们,恐怕我们是无法登山成功。非常感谢他们!

PS: 先预祝ODA committee G.Tahan登山成功!

Gunung Batu Putih 之 后无来者

大家好,我是志航(Chu Hang)。
这是小弟苦战Gunung Batu Putih, Tapah, Perak(6993')的Feedback。

第3次参加ODA的Trip, 前两次是Gunung Datuk(level 1)。这次皮痒跑去参加level 3的,结果惨不忍睹。从山底到山上有4个Check Points,我的右脚在第2个Check Points就KO了。 我基本上每一站都是最后一个到的,所以此标题取名为"后无来者"。 当然参加户外活动就是要这类的体验,就好像喝咖啡苦涩带些甘甜。

这次除了ODA成员, 还有传说中的所谓老师的老师。 也感谢他们看前不忘顾后的精神。 不然今天我的标题就是 [Gunung Batu Putih 之 最后一次] 了,呵呵,开玩笑。 虽然大部分在山上的时候我都很狼狈,但其实我没后悔啦,只是觉得自己的体能真的不复从前了。

本人比较喜欢Point Form, 这是我在山上3天2夜的记录,时间不分前后:
- 很辛苦!
- 在那里吃的每一餐都非常非常非常的好吃!
- 每个人都很热心的帮忙,也很厉害。
- 那里的路都有很多刺。
- 我的右脚knee很痛。
- 山上非常冷
- 第一天晚很好睡!在大石头下!
- 第二天晚很不好睡!下雨+漏水!
- 第3天早上非常的冷,细雨, 有种此地不宜久留的感觉。
- 河水很好喝


谢谢,ODA这次用心的筹备。 每位帮我背Beg, 拿东西,还有很多的英雄。 小弟毕生难忘,呵呵。。。。
希望 ODA 继续努力举办更多的户外活动, 有机会一定参加。各路英雄,有缘再见!

Batu Puteh Expedition~~31/5-3/5/2009~~

Gunung Batu Puteh Expedition, has created a lot of new experience for me. It is because need to search the new track, a lot of junctions, hike with the Tapah group who come across many years in climbing;'attacked' by the mosquito, tent is flooding during sleeping, and.............

This is Pre Tahan-Trainning Expedition,really not easy. The trail also not as easy as trip before. Need to climb , a lot of slope hill, need to 'fight' with mosquito and a lot of juctions. Very get easy to lost way. This expedition, i have taken the wrong trail on the 2nd day. We supposed to went down to cave when we reached the cave junction, but i chose the trail towards to peak(though obstacle there) . Climbed about 2o-30 minustes, only reliazed that we at the wrong trail. It really ate our energy to climb up that trail, again, feel regret to those follow my steps : fuyaw,sara, chiannii, beesuan,tata,miing rueng and boonping. Besides, also to other committees who wait and look for us: Andy, SianSeong,Siew Ting,Chee Shen,Yee jin and also the Tapah Group who waiting us at the cave junction. During the 3rd day at peak, Lan said that at that junction, got trail towards to Bahgading and batu puteh peak. But fortunately we chose the trail towards BP peak. chinese said that "bu xing zhi chong de da xing". However, i will be more caution next time. Besides, this expedition not easy when descending. My both heel ' shui pao' like a 20sen. So painful, especially the last track after the bamboo bridge crossing. But as fuyaw said, everybody leg's pain, knee pain. And pain reduced when try to move the concentration from pain to others.So finally, we at reached car park.Hurray! Mentality preparation, really important.

Through this trip, i more close to Sara, Jai Wong, Ka Chai, Tata, Chu Hang and Boon Ping. Sara is a friendly girl and going to further study soon, Jaiwong is my x-classsmate 's brother(the world is small:)), Ka Chai know well how to cook Zai Cai, as his mother tought him before, Tata is a nice guy, and always take care people,Chu Hang from penang , work as IT and same with Boon Ping,because of work, travel oversea more than local. Nice to have this expedition with all of you.

I would like to thank you Huay Woon, trip leader Batu Puteh. You have done your job well. Gambateh! Besides, thank you Miing Rueng to guild me in pointed my weakness so that i can prepare and improve better. Through this trip, i almost have a clear picture on my weakness. I might not improve during this trip, but i will improve it for the next expedition! I also appreciate Lao shi guildance and encouragement. It really give me energy.

Thanks to all ODAs, i learned a lot from everyone of you .Eventually, hope i have fate with Tahan too. :D
