G.ANGSI EXPEDITION 2011
Seeing all the returning friends during trip,that feeling is so much more than just GREAT!! And everyone of u has contributed and given all of us big help to give us a safe ride although when the sleepiness and tiredness were somehow quite bothering. Much appreciated! THANKS!!
A BIG THANK YOU to our Advisor, for all the guidances and helps, reminders, truly appreciate all the things been taught before, during and after trip.
Looking at the photos which speak a thousand words, THANKS to our photographers who has again given us very nice capture in this trip.
Footing in the first day was considered smooth, ofcause also due to the kind weather. But the second day trail was abit challenging and things got harder when we met with the heavy rain.
How clearly it showed us that the 'teacher' in this activity is none other than the Mother Nature.
Albeit the location is somewhere near the town, but we were still being rewarded with a very nice night city view, starry night and in the morning, warmth hearted scenery was what we got.
This round, the fun thing was to have so many future accountants to be in a group.
Really glad to meet EACH AND EVERYONE OF U.
Despite having quite a few first timers, but the high spirit and excitements that all u have before and during the trip is IMPRESSIVE!!!
Days before trip I receieved few questions such as, where can we buy groundsheets?? etc etc, only i realised how important communication is to make sure everything will go smooth.
Thanks so much for shooting out the questions to clear up ur doubts as it has created a better concern in me that what doubts would the first timer usually have?? How, and what else i could do to help so that they could have better expectation before trip and they can get themselves well-prepared??
For some of u, u might think that u will prefer day hike, ya ,u were so right to say that the journey is not too long, definitely we able to finish it within one day and without the need of carrying heavy backpack, stay over night ,etc.
But this's exactly the right question- why an overnight trip still be conducted?
Is walking in the wilderness,keep on move in the jungle are what's hiking , this OUTDOOR ACTIVITY all about?
Everything you need in that few days are on your back. We carried few days worth of things with us with us and stayed in inns further up in the mountains.
It's actually a golden lesson in joys of living simply.
It's a compilation of different knowledges ,which can improve the techniques to get everything set in a better way. As physically and mentality arent everything.
Cooperation,helping each other and true support to each other in that few days which come from within are somehow very important doesnt matter under any situation.
This gives us the whole picture of what it is like to be in moutain,away from town, which can be hardly imaginable before the first hike.
It reminds me that,for once i have such thought in me too,I said to myself “I will never go on a mountain trip. I have no interest ,I dont like to stay in the jungle and i cant do it”
And i truly understand where's the dislike of staying overnight feeling coming from.
Just like many people would have asked, why are u go hiking so often?? what's the fun behind it??? it is so tough!!!! So uncomfortable for staying in the jungle.
When u start appreciate the value in many different things, skills u learnt from each trip, despite its the same place being re-visited, it's where u will find the reason of what has kept the hikers' enthusiasm toward this activity higher and higher.
We are in the process of learning new things, accepting, this was ur first trip and U DID IT, and seeing myself has slowly accepted the way to live in the jungle, continuously return to the moutain once awhile,which because ive learnt alots, and after trips until today,Im still learning....so much more to learn, to improve while exploring. Im sure it would be the same for u too to have many more times to come in the future !!
There's a saying- sharing is caring, and this is the main objective of conducting trips by ODA, which is to share the experiences, knowledges with more and more people out there, with this trip, it makes me understand even more the true joys of sharing good thing to people.
When one able to share something u feel good about to some other people u care, and they appreciate it and they enjoy that new thing as well.... the feeling is superb!!!
Very glad to hear that all of u have fun in this trip which brought to me an excitement to SEE EACH AND EVERYONE OF U AGAIN in the future trips!!!!
Take care & Nice day =D !!!!!!

2011 ODA Gunung Irau
It's been months, looking forward for the reach of this trip! Can't wait to visit G. Irau again, the beautiful scenery along the way, meet and hike together with our new friends and some senior member, hiking together with ODA again with additional ODAs......
Before the trip, know that my group members including some of our 'senior' friends and new birds, feel quite exciting and also nervous! Exciting is that quite few months didn't meet with Simpson and Vivian them, it's always great to have them in my group. They bring lots and lots of jokes, funs and cook nice and delicious food for our group. Feel nervous is because I have new friends in my group. It's time for me share the knowledge that I know, and to sharpen my skills of communication!
Thanks to my group member who give me many cooperation and help before, during and after trip. I am having fun with you guys. We prepare our breakfast, lunch and dinner together; take care of each other; having jokes with each other; share the loads and foods together! So miss the moment where we are having dinner together at the cold night on the peak! Every one of us sits close to each other, make sure the dishes pass to everyone and clean the messtin together after dine! I like the feel… thanks =)
Mr Tan, you are still the same as the last time when I saw you, having a very good smiling, yet still as strong as last time. You will come to helps when we are preparing meals, having jokes together with us…
Valerie, you are Beautiful!!! You are slimmer than last time when I saw you. You walk so fast until I didn’t even have chance to walk together with you. We didn’t talk much during this trip, but appreciate your hard work during the trip. Whenever we are preparing meal, your hand will be non-stop doing things… Thanks to you that we have a great meal.
Tee, great to see you again! Every time when I see you again, you are getting better and better, more independent, take care of others, and lend your hands to those who need help, show them the steps.
H’ng, feel so sorry that we couldn’t hike together this time, hope we can hike together again in the future ^^ See you in the next trip!
Thanks to our adviser, Lao Shi who had been spent many times checking the preparation of the trip, make sure everything goes well to ensure our trip goes smooth! A big applause to trip leader, Pang Siew Ting that we had a great trip with great planning and we can enjoy the trip with no worries. And also ODAs, Bee Suan, Phei Ying, Adrian and Puffy who had help in and help out to make sure everything goes well.
Oh ya, not forget to thanks our drivers who send us to Irau and come back safely although they are tired too! And also Adrian, Pooi Sun and Wai San who helps to take many beautiful photo and yet helps us capture this unforgettable moment!
Last but not least, thanks to every group members that make this trip a memorable one! See you guys in the future =p
