Kevin Zeng (WenBin) angered Maggie Qiu and me

Go to Index

At a glance

- Kevin Zeng (WenBin) orgainzed a bushwalk.
- Maggie Qiu and I were in his bushwalk.
- Kavin cancelled his trip due to rain.
- Then created a Plan B trip.
- Excluded Maggie Qiu and me from his Plan B !!!



Below are the details.



1)  Sunday ... 2025-August-03

Kevin organized a bushwalk, on a Sunday,
to Kingpin Mountain, Morton NP, NSW.

I never knew how to join Kevin's bushwalks.
But he invited me ...

Actually, Kevin never messaged me.
Grace Fang invited me.
Grace was Kevin's helper.

The below rants by me hold true,
regardless whether Grace invited me
with or without Kevin's blessing ...

because Kevin was the leader.
He was responsible for this trip.



2)  Saturday ... late afternoon

The day before ...
Late Saturday afternoon,
Kevin cancelled his trip due to rain.

Then, he organized a Plan B bushwalk
for Sunday,
to a sunny place.

He excluded Maggie and me !!!



3)

Now, every weekend,
I always arrange my own bushwalks.

Maggie is also very active.
She plays badminton etc.

But on that Sunday, both
Maggie and I were stranded at home
with nowhere to go !!!

So outrageous !!!

If Kevin had not invited me to his trip,
I would have arranged my own trip,
and I would not have been stranded at home.

Ditto for Maggie.



4)

No apologies from Kevin.

He insisted he did nothing wrong.



5)

Maggie was so angered by Kevin's action,

she quit his WeChat hiking group soon afterwards.



6)

Kevin gave many bullshit excuses
for not inviting me.

When a person gave so many excuses,
you don't need to know what he said.
You know automatically he was bullshitting.

Kevin didn't say  sorry  nor  apologise.
He insisted he did nothing wrong.



7)  Bullshit excuse #1

Kevin said:
- Original trip was cancelled.
- New trip was a new trip, not Plan B.
- Hence he did not invite me.

This is bullshit.

He invited almost everyone
from his original trip
to his Plan B trip.

He called his Plan B trip "new trip".
He played games with names !

Who cared about the name of his Plan B trip !!! ???

Why was Maggie & I excluded ???
whereas almost everyone
from his original trip was included !!!



8)  Bullshit excuse #2

Kevin said:
- He didn't have time to invite Maggie & me.

This is bullshit.

He had time to invite almost everyone
from his original trip.

Why was there no time to invite Maggie & me ???

He was the leader.
He had responsibilities.

If he had to sleep one hour less
to include Maggie & me,
so be it !!!



9)  Bullshit excuse #3

Kevin said:
- He didn't invite me because it was late at night.
- And I might have gone to sleep.

This is bullshit.

Others might have gone to sleep too.
But he messaged them,
except to Maggie & me.

It is true that I often go to bed early.
But everyone knew I would have risen early too.

Kevin knew I would read his message
one way or another...
and be ready for his trip.


(Actually,
he didn't sent out his invitation message
to others very late at night.

I would have time to read his message
before I went to sleep ...
if he had sent it to me.)



10)  Bullshit excuse #4

Kevin said:
- There might be a bit of rain in his Plan B place.
- Hence I would not join his Plan B.

This is bullshit ... a.

I was all prepared to go to his original place
even though it would rain heavily there.

So, why was I worried about a bit of rain
in his Plan B place ?

* * * * * * * * * *

And bullshit ... b.

The Plan B place was actually sunny !!!
That was the reason Kevin chose this place.

The plan B place was in a rain shadow ...

Meaning:
If weather forecast is for a bit of rain there,
it usually means no rain there.

All bushwalkers know
the place is in a rain shadow.

All Kevin had to do, was to tell me his Plan B place.

Everyone knows:
I am not a dumb bushwalker.

Everyone knows:
I know how to read weather forecasts.

I can decide for myself
whether the Plan B place will be dry & sunny.



11)  Bullshit excuse #5

Kevin said:
- I usually didn't join his trips.
- Hence he dropped me.

Another bullshit excuse !

Regardless of past history,
I was invited to his original trip.
He had responsibilities for me.

He could not leave me stranded at home
without including me in his Plan B trip.



12)  Bullshit excuse #6

When all of his bullshit excuses failed ...

Kevin blamed me
for not suggesting a plan B to the group.

So disgusting !!!

I was not the leader.
He was the leader !!!

Why didn't he admit he was wrong ???
instead of blaming me for not suggesting a plan B.



13)

Kevin never messaged me.
All the above were from Grace on his behalf.
(Grace was Kevin's helper.)

It is possible ...
Kevin knew none of the above bullshits.

But he was the leader !!!

It is up to him to apologise to me:
- To say ... he was innocent,
- To say ... all the above were written by Grace
                  without his knowledge.

But I believe:
- Kevin himself said he did nothing wrong.
- Kevin himself gave the above bullshit excuses.

He should apologise
    - to me
    - to Maggie
    - and in public

    - to say he was wrong
    - to say he is sorry for what he did !!!

Adrian Sie didn't trust me

Go to Index

[Rant on]

I found Australian bushwalkers / hikers
are a friendly / sensible bunch of people ...

... Except a guy named Adrian Sie.

He is loud-mouthed;
and talks as if he has the most knowledge
about bushwalking / hiking.

And yet, at the time of this writing,
he doesn't lead hiking trips.
He badgers others to take him instead.
He is a hangers-on, like a leach.

I took him for a bushwalk once.
Then no more.
He was too slow.

* * * * * * * * * *

Anyway, on 2024-July-06
Sam Dworry organised a bushwalk to Lion Rock
in Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation Area.

She invited me to lead.

We had about 8 or 9 people going,
including Adrian Sie.

Then, Adrian wanted to add 2 more of his friends.
I said no ... because:
    - I don't know Adrian's friends.
    - 8 is the max group size I'm willing to lead.

So Adrian sent this message to the group
formed for this trip.

------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------

He said he didn't trust me.
(Fancy saying this in public !)

He also said he withdrew from the group
(and thus the trip).

That was fine by me as I didn't like him anyway.

But 2 days later, he rejoined the group and the trip !
(Probably because Sam asked him to rejoin us.)

* * * * * * * * * *

I don't like a guy who
doesn't have the conviction in himself.

If he publicly declared he withdrew from the trip,
then he should stick to his declaration
like a man !

Does this guy have no pride in himself ???

[Rant off]

* * * * * * * * * *

Well worth a trip !

Sunset photo accused being fake by Jeff Dorset

Go to Index

Date: 2023-April-19 ... evening

Location:
    Cliff edge of plateau on top of Gangerang Range
    Kanangra-Boyd National Park, NSW, Australia

Nice sunset picture taken by John Graham.

I uploaded the picture to Facebook
where it was clearly captioned that
the photographer was John Graham.

It attracted a mindless raging rant
by a racist guy whom I don't know,
and whose Facebook name is:
    Jeff Dorset (Eco Bushwalks Non Profit)

(Sometimes, he uses the name Geoff Dorset.)

And he claims to be a
"Walks leader at Eco Bush & Coast Walks Sydney".

Seems Jeff Dorset was jealous of others
being able to take nicer sunset photos than him.

Then accused me of faking the colour !!!

Below was the Facebook photo
and the mindless rant by Jeff Dorset  :-(

Other photos are grest
but this one is ruined by too much colour .
bourgeois bull shit.
naive playing with your tek toys.

Jeff Dorset, Photo wasn't even taken by me !!!
Hey John Graham,
here is a guy who is accusing you of
faking this photo !!!

[ No further comments by Jeff Dorset afterwards. ]


By the way, I know John Graham.
He never fakes a photo !!!


Post Script:
The photo was taken in a bushwalk
to Kanangra Creek via Murdering Gully.
