ODAC Trip 15 : Foot 09 Genting Trip

To tell the truth.

I couldnt stop questioning myself.

It might not be perfect, but I hope everyone enjoyed the trip. *smilez

Rest

Ok for the sake of Hafizah who "might" chance upon my little world again~~~here comes my good "England" blog post.

After considering for a few years, I finally went for my Lasik Surgery last tue !!! although the sum is not cheap, but wats money compared to good eyesight rite? My last torture with glasses at Mt. K is the last I have man.

I dunno if its a blessing in disguise or I "Lan Lan" have to stay at home to recover, but it proved to be a very interesting week.

I think it had been such a long time since I had a proper "Rest". The last one I remembered was after Foot 08 and my 2 weeks of NTU employment, and my whole body just collapsed for 1 week. This time round, I just sleep sleep and sleep. Sleep wake up, sleep. Wake up Sleep, Wakeup. Then my parents will be home and my dad will cook dinner~~~

I even manage to finish "Twilight" the book. Hmm but something which I like more is the change in mood. I was really quite moody and tense from all the activities, and "Rest" kept me well charged. Looks like I will have more tolerance after this week.

Anyway, Life Reignites and starts today on 29th Dec 2008 (Mon) as Foot 09 goes for our 2nd Pelepah Recce. The permit problem is still sticking close to my head, so today I tried something new. I just go in straight from the gate and "Heck it" the guard, just said "Going Pelepah".

Dey it worked.

Today the group consist of Douglas-Sama, Huiming, Hafizah, Kok Siong, Zhi Qiang (Trek), and Lionel (Trek). One of our frens could not make it due to lack of rest, hope she rest well. Btw it was so darn humid the night before, and I can smell it in the air that a major rain is comin. And hor those "toot toots" no one replied my emails and sms except Douglas and Lionel, so I was so worried that they will "Pangseh" and just sleep at home.

I told everyone to meet 0715 hr @ Kranji Mrt~~~haha I reached 0729 hrs. Oh man~~~all of them were there and Lionel was taxi-ing over. Wah so puntual ??!! Looks like the warning at Desaru was quite useful I guessed.

Standard procedure, but we cleared Customs at the new Malaysia Customs, not bad sia very nice place. Today we tried something different, instead of eating at Larkin, we just continued to Kota Tinggi and settle our breakfast there. At Kota Tinggi, we had KFC for breakfast, and walk around to see the place and check out some logistic stuff.

The climb began @ 1238 hrs. Hmm I was SCARED ~~~ cos we got 2 X "Desaru Heroes" for this recce and I was SCARED that we will take forever to climb. HAHA. Guess who.

The climb was practically, unbelievebly and incredibly !!! the same. Hah.

But I still had my fun at the V-Gorge anyway. Look forward to bringing other Fresh Blood there haha. Of cos, this time round one of my objective is to pin-point the danger points of the trek, hope it will be of use for Overseas proposal.

Hmm~~~the trekking was on time lar~~~well someone~~~SOMEONE pants tore. Thats all I say.

We left prompty at 1741 hrs, and back to Kota Tinggi at 1800. Immediately took bus again, and it brought us straight back to City Square.

Finally, our sumptuos dinner was at Kenny Rogers !!! I've been hearing it for ages !!! its my first time there !!! So confirm must eat the Chicken. Not bad sia. Then i bought 2 movies !!! Twilight, Bolt and Cape No. 7.

Another Recce Down.

Today was also Results Day~~~ How I fret it man ... and Douglas has been pestering me for the whole day ... arrrrgggghhhhh !!!

Anyway... nothing new, I still suck~~~just checked in 1 min when I typed this.

HC 212 Chinese Folk Literature --- B

HC 232 Warring state from Sui, Tang & 5 Dynasty --- B+

ODAC Trip 14 : Desaru 15 - 17 Dec 2008

不好意思，

我会多加注意我的言辞。

我为我的推搪感到抱歉。

各位，

我会吸取教训和努力改变。

每一张微笑的脸孔的背后都隐藏着一份不可告人的秘密。

ODAC Trip 13 : Mt. Kinabalu 9 - 13 Dec 2008

I wonder which Seniors gave me the impression that Mt Kinabalu was easy ...

But ... now I tell u ...

Mt. K Si Bei Xiong ARRRGGHHHHHHHH !!!

Eh Siao Eh !!! By the end of the desend everyone is "Dead Face" lor !!!

Ok let me tell you the story of the BEST O'Teck Trip that I have went for so far.

Day 1

The trip commenced on the early morning of tue 9th of Dec '08, with our Vice-Pressie Jovin and Biz Mag Head Jason (J&J) combo as trip ICs.

Yea I slept over at Douglas-Sama hse on Sunday night as we have to report by 0630 at the Airport, late as usual ... not first day in ODAC lar.

Haha we took Jet Star straight from Changi Airport to Kota Kinabalu, my first time sitting budget airline leh !!! Ok lar not bad except for "Not-so comfortable-seats", "No Tidbits",

But worst of all is "Not-so-chio-stewardess". Ok I'm disappointed.

Anyway the flight took 2 hrs and we reached around 10am at Sabah, Borneo. Its a very scenetic Island with many many small islands around ... reminds me of Pawai again.

We checked in to a budget hotel named City Park Inn. It was quite cosy and I finally know how it feels to be in a budget hotel. Xuan Jie, Prof Gan, Douglas, me and ... "Mike Alfa Reco Cockster Oldman" was same room. Haha

We got the day to ourselves~~~so we went to watch movie, which I REGRETTED SO MUCH !!! 无聊 rite ??!! I could have went Island Hopping !!! *sob, all that Mitchell's fault ! Anyway I watched "Twilight" lar since like the book so famous.

Everything was cool and we had our briefing for tml when we will head to our main course, Mt Kinabalu.

Day 2

Alamak we "Fall In" at 0545 hrs, lazy bum me cannot gather enough determination to go buy Mac Breakfast, which I regretted very much later.

We took a bus to the HQ of the Mt K at 1,564m. There was a bit of hiccups, and J&J has to go and take some time to settle. Trip ICs have a high chance of unforeseen circumstances, hmm ... thats Main Comm 的宿命 ba I guess.

Luckily things were settle and the nightmare begins @ 1146 hr ...

It began to drizzle as we started, and I wore my Gortex Jacket to deter the cold and rain. It was not long before I got very hot from the climbing that I took off and just wore my dry fit with shorts.

There was a total of 6km long of route to conquer, and a height till 3,273m. Every KM was like a yr long, the steps were high, the air was thin, and the route was neverending. As we climb, the food stuff such as biscuit pack bloated as the pressure was decreasing.

Very bad for some of us as headache sets in.

The view was spectacular so to say. We could see the clouds were all hovering below us, and the vegetation was quite nice. Yar after every 0.5 km, we were abit "Saey~~~" alr so we took pics.

I tell u, every step I took, I can only think of KFC. Not eating enough meat is enough to kill !!! How I regret regret ...

My imagination became reality as when we hit the Laban Rata Resthouse @ 1715 hr as Team 1, with Joy, Xuan Jie, Douglas, Aiting. Team Zero consist of Marco and Joy's Bro. Wah the food was SUPERB !!! Hot Soups, Bread, Mutton, Meats ! Curry chicken !!! oh man !!! mmmmmm~~~~

After dinner, we went to our hut "Pendant Hut" to spend the night. Oh man its built on the top of a rock surface~~~not bad quite cosy, but really cold lar they no heater. Temperature dropped till 9.2 degrees, and dropped lower. We "chop chop" finished our briefing and went to sleep @ 2200 hrs.

Day 3 was a Killer ...

Day 3

Guess wat ungodly hour we woke up ... 2 am !!! wah kao !!! There was a quick breakfast and I gobbled down 3 bread with lots of peanut butter and hot milo. I know today is a xiong day man ... confirm chui if no energy.

The climb to Mt. K summit commenced at 0246 hr.

Wah a torture ... the wind was super chilling. I'm clothed like a dumpling and climbing a never ending steps up. My throat was super dry along the way and drinking water was crazy as water was ice cold due to the wind.

I can only remember, strong gush of winds which I have to stop and block, stupid Ang Mo who stylo milo chiong but chui, cold water down my throat, and lots of stopage along the way while overtaking quite some ppl.

It was much struggle until I finally reached the summit of Mt. K @ 0606 hrs !!!

It was really a spectacular sight. Tons of stones, big stone peak around, all clouds below me, and the signboard of the summit. We took quite some pics, and I also took some solo time to just watch the greatness of nature and reflect.

And now ...

Via Ferrataaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh !!!

Oh man !!! After 3 hrs plus of torturous climb to summit, next comes Via Ferrata, a new challenge course down vertically to base camp via the sides of Mt.K.

When it started my heart nearly fell out and my legs cant stop shaking !!!

Douglas-Sama even worst lor he really super scared. Wah lao its vertically down leh !!! There was no support except for some steps and harness to save us if we fall. Wah concentration was set at 130% as I really cant afford to slipped and fall man ! The cold fog rise super fast on the face of the mountain, and drizzle made us wet and cold.

The FrEaKiNg Via Ferrata took us 5 hrs from 8am to 1pm. By then Jovin's Face was grave dead and Douglas was like walking zombie. 600m down, follow by a 25min forest walk, ending with a 300m "Walk the Torque" by the waterfall. I cant believe I did it.

It was a victorius smile on us when we saw the ending signboard.

15min back into our hut, my headache is becoming very very bad. Heng I know how to take care of myself and I drank the Hydration Salt that Jovin advice us to buy. Took a 30 min nap and hell starts again.

This time round we need to get back to HQ, so its a desend. Ching Hui, Douglas, Xuan Jie and Me formed a Team and started. Biang oei ~~~ I laugh at the others when we started and said "Trekking down 是我的强项"
Wah ended up Joy and her Dad took over us like cheetahs.

It was a 3.5 hr desend down starting from 1623hr to 1749 hrs. The forest got dark and headlamps were used to see. Reaching the HQ with Jason's voice was good !

The others came in by 2100 hrs and we took the bus back to our town. I dun CARE ! we chiong to eat Mac Meals UPSIZE ! to compensate our energy loss and morale.

Slept at 2am, next day White Water Rafting !!!

To be continued.

Stand Chart Marathon 2008

A Run without Determination

A Mental which Breaks like a Stick

And A Timing that Sucks like a Straw

I'm sorry JunJie,
Thats a very bad reflection of your whole year of training.

I have No Excuse.

哀悼

记得前两天我还说12月将会是快乐的日子。
但人算不如天算，12月的第一天竟然是我的好友的火化。

看到你的遗照和棺木被推进去火化时，我依然不能接收这个事实。

明明3个月前才一起小学聚会的朋友，为何会在2008年这样走了？
我们还有很多年的Gathering还没实现，收到红色炸弹的年龄才刚刚步入。

无限的回忆不断涌现在脑海里。

我们同班6年
是你将我带入乒乓的世界
你在班上看三国志给老师抓个正着
小六我们什么都可以拿来赌。

我最喜欢叫你“Teh Ko Wang"
而你叫我“Chun Cake”

我们每年都有聚会
每个人的改变都是我们无限的话题
我知道你一定能进OCS
而你也激励我将来的成功。

我们共同的目标，Stand Chart
但是你。。。却没能和我跑这一场赛了。

繁复的情绪令我的理性受到了震撼。

原来失去一个我认为理所当然的朋友是何等的残酷。
生活的继续令我领悟什么是皮笑肉不笑的感觉。

看来我要冷静一下了

风随风逝
Seck Wang，尽管事情根本不该这样，对！根本就不该这样！
我还是悲痛的哀悼。。。
“很高兴认识你，你好心上路吧”

当我希望真实是一场虚幻

今天，在一个我本以为平平无奇的日子里。。。
我的一位小学朋友打了通电话给我。

在那通电话，我得知了一件令我十分震惊的消息。。。
我们的一位要好的朋友想不开、结束了自己的生命。

记得我们一两个月前还一起小学聚会。。。
两个礼拜前还谈论一起为 Stand Chart 作准备。

我们还有6天就跑 Stand Chart 了！！！
为什么这么想不开？！

朋友，你是我认识16年的朋友。。。我真希望这是一个无聊的玩笑。

今天，我感到了现实和虚幻的巨大冲击。

11 月总结

Yo yo yo !

过了整整一个月，我终于再次Blog lu~~~ 其实麻，早在26 号就考完了，但是因为“人贵事忙”啊，所以拖了这么久才和大家分享我无聊刺激的生活。

耐人寻味吧？Eh 我一天一天讲leh.

首先，我要和大家强力推荐　“海角７号”这一部戏。哇！！！　报纸说超好看 lor，den我看晚报赢了两张戏票　leh !!!　哈哈！！！ 真是高兴又有机会约女生出去看戏。Hmm 自从上一次约女生去看戏被女生不了了之后，哇令我觉得有种不敢再约她，被拒绝第二次不好玩吧！

哈哈所以 ... 我约了一位我觉得很健谈和重感情的朋友看。（哈哈除了Xiao Qi 之外啦）那部戏不错的，真的描述的非常细腻和有“台湾”的感觉。戏里贯穿了爱情的纯洁和人们相处的幽默感，范逸臣演绎的不错，真为他开心，因为他之前的歌都超棒，但是没多少人欣赏，真是所谓“人有三衰六旺”的道理吧，所以“坚持”是不败之理吧。

Eh 讲多一点吧，哇看完戏后我们去吃饭 leh ! ... ok 其实是面啦。什么东东都关了咯，真是气爆。哈哈这几天当我和朋友介绍这部电影是，都把我的神秘伴侣的生分搞得他们一踏污水，真是令生活生气了许多。你猜到是谁吗？？？　哈哈哈

Nov 26

考完后 rite, 和 Weisi 到 CCK 那里钓鱼 leh。“哇伽勒供”(I tell u hor; Hokkian) 我们到的地方真的是“鸡不大便，鸟不生小鸟”的地方，弄到我两只脚恶心死了。虽然没有钓到鱼，但是风景真的不错，尤其．．．下了一场倾盆大雨，Biang oiiii ~~~~

Nov 27

到了　Desaru　去看看环境，因为12 月的时候我将会拉队去那里鞑脚车，哈哈不然忘了路就不太好吧。下午和 Douglas-sama　一起去 Expo　看 Sitex，Yea　我买了个新　Desktop　！！

Nov 28

Ah ha　说起这一天我真是开心了，因为和我喜爱捉弄和“向他们泼水”的 Foot Comm 09 到Pelepah　去 Recce。我们 730am meet, 930am 在　Larkin 　搭　Bus 到　Kota Tinggi, 再搭Taxi 到　Air Terjun。 12pm 就　Start Climb　了。

我们真的很快，而且我非常高兴，因为这次是我带头，所以终于有机会去考证自己的能力了。我知道我是行的，因为路都没走错，哈哈有时只是有时从不同的路线到达目的地。

我认为很多时候，做东西要自己来才学的快，我不能、也非常抗拒持有依赖他人的心理。我不认为自己的能力会是逊色的，当然也极力参考他人的意见，但做起事来，有时还是要有 "Zai"　的心理。（这是　Sgt Ian Lau　教我的）

每个人都有能力，请不要认为自己的较逊色。

迷惑的人是显得脆懦的。

别的不说了，请试目以待吧。

看样子 Pelepah 是用定了，那里的路也能通行。就算路被挡了，我也有办法开山劈石。计划中还是要有后路吧，如 Mike　所讲的　Panti 就是一个后备。很多时候，和他讲话是很有建设性的。

好山好水，接下来就是要注意安全了。Foot Comm 09　的人都十分有干劲，Trekking Skills　也不 Cui。那个 Jean　啊，那天不在状态啊，哈哈以前她每次在我后面都超厉害的，要 Train Up。

Nov 29

又到了 Foot 09 开会的快乐时光了！！！　我真是非常意外、高兴，也感谢　Kola Pear、“梁哥”、Beth　百忙之中还不喻于力的赶来开会。美好的回忆是需要付出的滋润的，我一定会为你们在 Foot 09　留下余齿留香的回忆。会在七点三十分准时@SMU　进行。除了交待现在到明年的工作时间表，也正式开工了。

Foot 09 大致上会用回上届的大纲吧，不然真的像有人提议的，把整个 Camp 在国外进行 meh? Bo Ko Ling ma。　其实迎新会嘛，主要是给新生一个难忘的体验，有些项目无需多此一举尝试改变，除非那改变是有建设性的。像 Orientaton Games ar, SP Nght Theme and Program ar etc. 这些项目需要改变才足以有新鲜感嘛。不然如果连我都没兴趣，我怎么找 SP ? Tio bo ?　哈哈。

开完会后我们大家到了Rochor Dao Hui 吃豆花。Hmm Foot 09　真的很会吃。然后就回家咯～

Nov 30

今天的重大发生，就是 Foot Comm 在 East Coast 的 17km Run 了。我的妈啊，我今天终于见识到什么叫 "Girl Power" 了。人长得标志就算了，体能还能如此的蹦发，上天果然是偏心的。哇 Piang 我为了追上步伐可真是在燃烧 Ego 了。好惭愧啊！　我的毅力还没有到标准　！

我在此坚定的说明，我在 Stand Chart　过后一定会调整我的每周锻炼。

常言道，“天降大任于斯人也，必先劳其筋骨，苦其其心”

我往日的大志是需要锻炼的。

Dec 08

开心的事还多着呢！希望我能为他人绽放太阳般的笑容。

感言

哈哈骏杰每日见人就笑，尽说无聊开心之事，目的不就是要令身边的人开心吗？对家人我每天都惹我的父母兄妹，哈哈也是为了家里不要静静默默的啊。朋友呢，我就会讲无聊的笑话，帮人取 Nicknames，只是要我们有缘的日子里能多点欢笑和美好回忆啊。

但是有时候我真的真的会因为处事的不如意，心里被气道爆，却又不能发火，真是很 Interesting 的感觉 sia.

啊 ... 算了！在我能力范围之外的事，如果有别的方法我也不强求了。

改变本性去做理性的行为真是考功夫啊～～～

Whee~~~我爱你们！！！

NTU ODAC 13 Main Comm Steam Boat

Today Sunset was especially beautiful, but I couldnt understand why my heart felt sad ...
Then I remembered ... 30th of Oct ... its has been exactly 2 yrs after I left you ...

I would like to dedicate this to you ... hope you'll receive it. I still miss you ...

紫霞粉云绵满天，古今亦是同人赏，

Wow 你懂今天发生什么事吗? Wa 我们 13th Main Comm 去吃 Steam Boat @ Can 5 leh !

虽然说只不过是吃一餐便饭，但因为现在是 Exam Period，所以显得特别一点 ba。Haha Main Comm Level 果然是 Main Comm Level 的，想不到竟然有14 个 Main Comm 到，只不过是 send 了个 Email，但他们的踊跃真是令我觉得很欣赏，我下次也要好好地参与他们的 Event。

那个臭 Douglas-Sama 跟我讲 Can 5 的东西不好吃，吓了我一跳。不会阿 ! 很棒 leh ! 尤其是那个 Laksa 汤底，又辣又开胃。Uncle 还请我们吃“超大”的 Ice Kachang leh。下次不光顾他也不行了haha。

吃完后还有去看 Movie。啊... 那个戏 ... 好烂啊 !!! 是“Coffin“。最讨厌没有剧情和思想的电影了，真是气爆我了。

Haha 说了那么多，我的 Post 怎么可以少了我找可爱的女生拍照呢 ???

啊我在 MRT 随便找了个像 “佘施曼”的合拍了一张，不错吧 ?

Haha
