Hi

oll, o worm welcome to NTU ODAC.

we extended our orms to ODAC members with o totql of 17 trips, with l4 different destinotions. For lhe courogeous. we went to Gunung Kerinci ond Gunung Rinjoni in lndonesio. For ihe seo lovers, we went to Krqbi ond Pulqu Sibu [Poddles Up!]. For the scenary lovers, we weni to Bukit Brogo, Comeron Highlonds, Gunung Dotuk, Roinbow Folls qnd Desoru. For the woterfolls, ropids ond coves. we went to Perok, Loto Berembun, Gunung Stong ond Kuolo Kubu Bohru.

This yeor,

When lhe yeor hod first storted, I remember seoting in on the very first meetings; everyone storted off with owkword greetings ond quiet smiles. Soon, everyone went off on their Subcomm trips ond got to bond in ihe greot outdoors. As the yeor proceeded, we hod fun qt Fomily Doy ond "Bock-to-School" ODAC BBQ, everyone groduolly opened up more ond become better friends. The fomily coniinued io bond through events such os Night Cycling, Gomes' Doy, ODAC Fomily Photoshoot ond Chinese New Yeor. And before the second semester wos over, we topped it off with qn outdoor-styled competitive Loser Tog event.

Come Semester Two breok, NTU ODAC proceeded io hold our onnuol fiesto of evenis. The eniire club geored up ond worked together to execute o plethoro of events which included: Adventure Troil Chollenge '14, Pumpfest XVll, Poddles Upl '14 ond F.O.O.T. '.l4. lt mokes me groteful to hove hod the subcommittee members we hove hod this yeor. All of them were hord-working individuols who ihey olso knew how to hove fun ond mode eoch other's presence worthwhile. Thonk you everyone for the timeless loughier ond joy. And no words con express my.oppreciotion for my Monogemeni Committee; despite the possible lock of sleep or sonity oi iimes (hoho), oll of us worked hord together to mqke roinbows ond unicorns oppeor. And I believe we've oll seen our own pot of gold of the end of the journey.

we opprooch the upcoming AY14115, I hope thot oll our new members will get to explore, discover, ond experience os much os I did in my time. Let us mointoin the friendships ond bonds forged in this yeor ond cherish the ones to be ;rrode in the next. Togethec we will olwoys be o fomily of outdoor lovers, young or old.

BEHIND THE SCENES TREK

ffiffi

Trek Committee is a home for people who share the similar passion for the outdoors. Currently, Trek Committee is in its 7th Year, fulfilling our purpose in NTU ODAC as an avenue for both experienced and amateurs trekkers to Explore, Discover and Experience the joy of trekking, as well as supporting the club by leading public trips which are catered to the NTU population.

This year, TREK embarked on various trekking based trips. First up, we went to Bukit Kutu, situated near Kuala Kubu Bahru Town, Malaysia.

Next, we went to scale a total of 3 peaks at Malaysia, Yong Yap, Bubu and Tok Nenek, within a span of 4 days and 3 nights, for a total of 41 kilometres of distanced trek. Then, we explored further in lndonesia, travelling to Mount Welirang & Mount Bromo in Surabaya, and Mount Merbabu in Yogyakarta. The treks this year were definitely tough, but is it through hardships that friendships are formed and memories are made.

As much as Trek committee likes to trek, we also strive to cater the outdoors to other people. 5o long as you're willing to expose yourself to the outdoors, we want you!
