An Expedition which i will never forget!!

Hey guys...im back!!!haha...back from climbing gunung stong in malaysia....gotta say....i realli enjoyed myself during the expedition... and learn lots of stuff about the jungle and to respect and understand it...

we had 2 guides wif us ....they were Uncle and Abang Sharil....gotta take my hats off them....they're really experienced. with all their knowledge of the entire mountain....and through talking to them...my knowledge of nature has certainly been enriched...no doubt..haha

We managed to ascend to the summit...even though there was one time we were on the verge of descending to the foot of the mountain without climbing to the summit due to safety reasons..but we still managed to accomplish our main objective of climbing to the summit..YEAH!!!

As a sub-comm for this expedition....i realli learnt a whole lot more about myself through this expedition...i won't say i did a very good job...but i felt that i did just okie....there are certainly lots more room for improvements....so i shall not brood too much about my mistakes and instead move on and change my weaknesses into strengths....and that no matter how tired i am...i shouldnt complain about it...its what christina told me...and i fully agree with her on this...and i hv thus reflected on my options...

This expedition wouldn't have been a success without the sub-comm and the participants. They were great!!Really Great!!!When we were deciding whether to continue to ascend to the summit., I could see the desire in the participant's eyes...how much they wanted to continue..as safety officers..me n hong soon agreed that we shouldn't continue...because if we did...we would b facing night descend which would b very dangerous...however...when we ask the participants if they wanted to continue...all raised their hands...i thought we should put ourselves in the participants' shoes...they paid the money after all..to enjoy the trip.....so we decided to reverse our decision and continue to ascend to the summit...

The Participants were great...Really wanna thank u guys!!!Thank You!!haha
Im really glad that everyone enjoyed themselves. :)

And for my fellow sub-comm members, Finally!!haha....its over and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly rite!!haha....months of planning have not gone to waste...although there were some parts of the program that couldn't be carried out...but well...at least we got through it!!haha...Gunung Stong Sub-Comm....U guys ROCK!!!Haha....Really enj0yed all the meetings we had!!!haha...n will treasure all those funny moments!!!hahaha :)

Pics will of course be up soon...how soon?hmm...next week...as i gather all the photos from the many camera men we had on the trip. :)
