First day to Ayam mountain climbing expedition

lately my mind is being occupied with my preparation for the expedition of climbing Ayam mountain with TNB group. Today would be the day that i and my wife meet them at KL Central and then everybody will take a train together to Dabong, Gua Musang. The place that we'll go for a camp and mountain climbing is also popularly known as Jelawang Waterfall, where you'll be able to camp at a camping site called Baha camp. The place is actual a transit and a mid point before you go on further to climb few mountains; few of which are well-known are Stong, Ayam and Baha. This expedition however only have a mountain peak in mind to conquer which is Ayam mountain.

Today, right after finish my work, i will join the TNB group whom most of them i have never meet before, and the meeting place is at KL central train station. Our group will depart to Dabong at 8:30pm and then will join a 2nd group who will be waiting for our arrival at Dabong, i guess those team members over there are the local people so most of the plan and what to do at the camping site is planned by them. The food, kitchen ware, few tents and the cookings will also be provided by them. Members from KL including myself shall only need bring those stuffs after being divided equally at the climbing base up to Baha camp.

To be honest, i am feeling of sense of thrill to be able to join in this expedition despite the fact that my going to Jelawang waterfall would be my 3rd one already. I guess, it is mainly because the feeling and anticipation that i will meet new faces apart from my old fren Wang Jazmi who currently work at TNB; well he's my intermediary person rather than the experience of hardship and endurance climbing up your ass to the mountain peak. It would be a new experience of me mixing around with new faces and characters  while climbing up the mountain. Apart from that, i think because of several expeditions already that i've joined, my preparation for the luggage rucksack was tremendously better. My target was to make sure the entire weigh must not exceed 15kg cause i need to take into account the additional food and kitchen-ware stuffs that all members must carry at Dabong. and when i last weighted my packed Karrimor bag after endless repacking and rearranging stuffs, it is 15.2 kg. That was the last rearrangement of stuff i made and 40 minutes before mid nite, i rushed off to my office to leave my bag over there. i didn't intend to bring along on the following day, cause it would be me driving my car and mostly is, it will obviously attract attention of fellow employees. So it would be best if i just leave the heavy bag the nite before and i can come to office as usual riding my bike.
