Gunung Chabang was my second trip with ODA after my miserable and humiliating experience during the Gunung Datuk hike. During my Datuk trip, I just hope that I can finish the hike, all the way i was asking...
"where the hell is the end, where the hell is the checkpoint, where everyone stops?"
"how come i can hear the guys so clearly but all i could see are rocks, trees, and a trail that is so steep like an endless wall infront of my face??"
Perhaps that's what make my Datuk trip a less enjoyable one compare to this one. Yup, i enjoyed the Chabang trip, if you don't already notice it from my tone. Everything seems different this time. The sky bluer, the trees greener... ;p
There was not much to talk about for the ascending of the mountain, the trees, the trails, the ground, the soil, they all looked pretty much the same. We go up, we take 5, we take another 5, lunch break and we continue to go up. If any, it's us. We are the one who feel differently.
I couldn't agree more with Cikgu Mus, he said,
"It's not here (pointing to the body), it's here (pointing to his head)".
It's the mind power that takes us up there, nothing else.
Having said that, i must not forget to mention that descending the mountain while it's raining so heavily, and in the dark some more, was one heck of an experience. The little river that i can't even remember crossing became one that definitely made an impression by it's size. The trail we went up end up like a longkang and i only realized it's the same trail we used after like 15 minutes of walking and stepping my feet deep in the longkang. It's indeed a memorable and adventurous experience. I could still remember distinctively how we all crave for the lil piece of chocolate while taking a break in the rain. You can't ask for it and you can't plan, it just happened. That's what make this trip so unique and different from the other trips. So thanks to the rain, thanks to the bunch of people who came at 5am and beat us to the hike, and thanks to ODA for not changing our plan.
Lastly I must say I was so happy to be able to reach our endpoint, thanks to everyone especially cheeloong that's been watching my back the whole trip. I deeply appreciate all the effort done by ODA and ms laoshi to have the trip successfully carried out. Thanks to my group who is responsible for my breakfast, lunch and dinner.

First of all, I have to thanks Lao Shi and ODAs-Pang, Andy, Fu Yaw, Bee Suan and Xiao Fo Ye, Ms Puffy. Without you all, I think the Chabang trip would be more difficult for me to do. Lao Shi, help me edit and edit the trip planning although you all are so busy of your own work and also prepare for the birthday gathering. Also point out some fact that we will face during trip so that we could prepare for it. Pang, just back from Uk, also busy with your work, but still help me edit trip planning as well. When others are still behind, both of you go back to rescue them. Andy, Fu Yaw and Bee Suan- thanks for your support. Whenever i need your help or advise, you all always won't reject me. For the second morning when we need to change planning, you all are there with me, help me...Andy and Fu Yaw, thanks for take care of those behind when descend under heavy pour. Also thanks to Bee Suan who helps a lot during dinner preparation. Ms Puffy, a very different dog. Her never give up spirit is always what I should learn. It's always feel very great and proud to have you all in my life. Thank you
Cikgu Mus and Shafiq. Both of you had teach me much during the trip, especially Cikgu Mus. Although I can't remember every sentence that you told us, but I had plant few sentences in my brain. Thank you for participate us. Cikgu also take good care of us. Whenever there is a tree with thorn, you will tell us. 'Hati-hati sebelah kiri, be careful of right hand side, hati-hati kepala....There are many many more... Thanks
