10 years has come and gone. Amazing is truly an understatement.

I would like to annouce that I'm organising a trek to Gunung Tahan this aug to commemorate our 10th year anniversary.

I am inviting my team mates from 2003 as well as opening up to anyone who would like to have an experience of a lifetime. Why would you want to trek Gunung Tahan and spend 6 days with a small group of friends.

-Revive the good old days in the forest.
-Disconnect with the busy-ness of the city and get connected with real people
-3 month prior to the trip date, training will be organise to help you get in shape.
-Riding on the popularity of Ah Boys to Men, relive the "army days" for the guys.

I know I had a reputation of a ruthless and heartless trainer. Don't worry, the past 10 years, I've acquire better people skill and better knowledge on training and trekking.
However, do not take the training lightly. 6 days Gunung Tahan Traverse trek is not for the weak. Typical, you spent 6-8 hours walking. You will be drenched most of the time with either your own sweat or from the rain (it's call the Rainforest for a reason). Average load per person is appr 12-16kg. As this is a camping trek, all supplies have to be carried by you and your teammate.

Training will start first Sat of Apr. In the meantime, you can catch up on your fitness on your own.

Drop me a comment or email for more details on signing up.

9 Mar - update

The trip date has been set at 5-12 July. Training will start on 6 Apr 830am at bukit timah nature reserve.

1 June - Update

Due to few sign up, Gunung Tahan trip is cancelled.

I'm going to Taiwan to do the Holy Ridge trek!!

Awesome! I'll be there! (to send you guys off to gunung tahan!) wahahaha...

But its been an amazing 10 years! Jerry, I was your age now when we started, so there's still lots of mileage left in you! Enjoy the next 10 years of beauty in nature.

But seriously, for the 10th anniversary trek, I'll give it good consideration. Whether or not I'll eventually go, I'll definitely make time to train with u guys!

I still have my bulging biceps after 10 years but they are still as useless

BTW, why are you using Gee Gee photo in your profile? Can I charge royalties?

FongShee said...

Royalties? Of course u deserve it. But it's been offset by the advertising fee I charge for advertising Gee Gee.
