Gunung Datuk Trek Camping (Malaysia)

A totally new experience of trekking. The 2.5hr trek can be easy ONLY if I do not need to carry the 10kg backpack with me. To camp at Gunung Datuk, we need to bring our own water (3litres), tentage pole (4kg), canned food (1 kg) and own necessity eg. sleeping bag, wind breaker, etc 

Be it Nepal or Rinjani, I never think water is so precious. 3 litres of water to last 2 days (inclusive of cooking, rinising dishes and cleaning up). If I am a guy, I would have brought 5 litres up.

A Day at St Ignatius School With Under-Privileged Kids (Batam)

Another meetup group - Singapore Adventurous Nature-Lovers. As compare to Rinjani, this is more meaningful. Guess Rinjani is more of trekking than doing much for Charity Awareness.

This charity event is organised to gather funds to build them a playground. But upon moving around the school, I found playground is actually not the top priority.
There is no proper table for writing and their meals are always accompany with flies

Living in a corner without light, yet their drawing are still bright

To encourage them, we give each of them a inspiration card whereby they drew and wrote down their hope. I do hope that days come.
