Tomorrow morning I will start my journey go to climb Mt Kinabalu. In this trip, around 20 of my friends are going together so it should be a fun trip for me. The first thing before go to climb Mt Kinabalu I need to do is "reading KENNY SIA 's Mt Kinabalu Expendition and The day I climb to Mt Kinabalu" to have a general guidelines about climbing Mt Kinabalu.
I prepared very well neither physically nor mentally. My packing list includes :
I prepared very well neither physically nor mentally. My packing list includes :
A enough warm jacket
One of my friend is just climbed the Mt Kinabalu, she said that the temperature at Mt Kinabalu now is between 0 degree and negative 2 degree. I cant imagine how cold is the weather. Hopefully this jacket can give me a warm for the whole journey.A pair of shoes
I plan go to buy a " kampong adidas" that costs me around RM 5. But Iam lazy go to buy so I decided to wear this shoes to climb the mountain. Hopefully it will not make any trouble for me. A blue cap
Many of my friends bought the cap to cover the whole face, according to them, they said that the wind at Mt Kinabalu is "kinda" strong, so the cap is needed to prevent the face become very cold. According my theory, I bought this cap is just want to make myself look handsome so I can bring a lot of handsome photos to blog it.
A yellow raincoat
I seriously hope I don't have to use this. If not my fees (RM 400) is gone.
A headlight and a waterproof gloves
My headlight and gloves are borrowed from my friends and tonight only go to take from him. Since i do not have the photos so i borrowed Kenny Sia's G-string (view his blog). Hehe. Hopefully all of you do not mind about it.A tourchlight
At sunday, I gotta wake up at 2am to climb. The road to the peak of Mt Kinabalu should be very dark. A powerful tourchlight (RM3) and headlight are needed for the trip. Variable food
For your information, Iam not going for picnic but i prepared the food due to the reasons :Cup Noodles: I do not want to eat at the restaurant at Mt Kinabalu because it is damn expensive.
Tiger biscuits : When I feel hungry i can eat about it.
Ribena : I need glucose to climb the mountain.
Raisins : When I feel I want to vomit when climb the mountain, I can eat raisins.
Tuna: I forgot to buy the bread, maybe I will buy it tonight. I can eat the bread with tuna for breakfast.
Red bull : I heard my friend say that once you drink the red bull, you can run ver fast like red bull to the top of the mountain.
100 plus and crispy : Just buy for "song song"
Iam not sarcrastic as kenny sia because
a) I do not have walking stick.
b) I do not have Long johns or thermal underwear.
c) I do not have carbohydrate-rich energy bars and electrolyte powder but i have red bull.
d) I do not have water purification tablets. Iam able to drink the rainwater.
e) I do not have sweater and trackpants. I just simply choose a pants from my cupboard.
Hopefully I will have a safe journey and of course I will bring back a lot of nice photos to blog about it.
