Kinabalu Mountain Expediture (2 March until 4 March 2013)

Last week, from 2 March until 4 March 2013, i was joining my friends at Kota Kinabalu(KK) to climb again the Kinabalu mountain. This is my second time to challenge this mountain. From my first time experience, I was not able to reach to the top of mountain because it was raining that time and the mountain guide dont allow to continue to climb. So this time the first preparation that I do is I go to the temple and pray dont rain again before i do any physical training.

This time i will stay 3 days 2 night in kinabalu mountain compare to last time 2 days 1 night. This mean that I have more times together to have the joke, to play together, to ask the current condition for each other with my friends. 

The first day we are staying in Mesilau and fetched by the van from Kinabalu Park which provided by Sutera Harbour. Basically Mesilau is a nice place to live with because it is cold and have a lot of nice view to see.

The place that we lived at Mesilau. Luckily we have the hot water at here, therefore we able to take the bath and the bed also very nice to sleep........... I was sleeping very well at here before climbing the mountain.

The temperature at Mesilau here is 10.6 degree which can consider very cold with the wind blow.

My friend and I challenge the coldness at Mesilau here and if possible we hope that we can do this at the top of the mountain.... haha.......

Taking a photo together with my group at Mesilau Restaurant here included at the package as well.

Our captain, Justin Yap was giving us the "card permit" to climb the mountain. Each of the card have the number so that the mountain guide easy to recognise you are from which group so that you will not missing inside the mountain. I was very lucky because my number is MA01 that mean i need to climb no 1 in my group.

The first challenge is from Mesilau to Laban Rata. We have to stay at there for one night before climb to the top of mountain. Before start to climb, we can take group photo with the time 8.45am.

Some of the difficult track along the journey that most possible make you to give up or take rest.

Another rock track..... Be careful with your hanphone inside your pocket once drop down consider spoilt.... I am not cheating you because my friend's phone was drop down and spoilt already ... :)

Our mountain guide able to carry very heavy things from climbers. However we need to pay for 1 kg for RM9 if we ask them to take for us. There is more interesting things when we are climbing is that we saw a mountain guide carry a men around 80kg from top to bottom, we suspect that he is injured already. therefore be careful when you climb the mountain.

One of the photo i take together with my friend, Jacob at the journey. Along of the journey you may see that everybody from different country will say "Hello" to you. This type of feeling is really warm.... please do so when you climb the mountain. Another thing is that many people will say that you are ALMOST reach Laban Rata but please dont believe about it ....... this is what i can share with you.

By 1.45pm, finally we reach the Laban rata and we are the No 1 but we dont ahve prize even though we are No 1 :( !!! But for us we feel proud because we able to reach here with this type of short time......... As usual people will reach here around 3 or 4 pm normally.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. Therefore, believe yourself while you are climbing the mountain.

The view at Laban rata which consider very beautiful for me........ I love it very much.


After taking the buffet dinner at Laban rata we need to quickly go to sleep because by 2pm we need to climb again from Laban Rata to the top of mountain. In Laban Rata here, there is no hot water that mean everybody is not taking the bath. PLEASE dont challege the cold water here. It is really like the ice water. I believe some of the people even didnt change their underwear and directly sleep ............


From my last experience, I know that it will be very cold at the top of mountain. Therefore, I decided to wear 3 clothes + 1 warm jacket + 2 underwear to protect my "bird bird" + 1 jean + 1 head lamp + 1 cap + 1 mask and 1 gloves. Look like I am full of weapon there is no reason I cannot reach the top of mountain. Therefore, we start to climb the mountain exactly at 2.45pm. This time we are not able to take the group photo because we are late.

Some of the "ghosts" flying at the midnight.

The beauty of sky at the midnight.

Throughout the journey you will pass through a lot of dangerous place which require your patient and strength and .............. Some of the times i feel want to give up but i force myself to follow exactly the step with Justin Yap. One step by one step without stoping because once you stop it will consider you die........ Remember dont keep rest you will feel very cold......oxygen is also getting less and less when you are climbing higher and higher.

                                      

Without giving up, finally we reach the top of the mountain. Hello to everyone, we reach the top of the mountain !!!!! Unfortunately I not able to take out all my clothes to challenge the coldness. At here you will discover many people like to take the photo with this signboard to prove that you reach here. And many of the people will wait here for sunrise although it is cold. Be careful since many people at here because you are in the line of death and live once you drop down that mean you can "bye bye" to the world...........

Please take out RM1 ringgit to compare this mountain with the mountain inside money. Is it the same?

Another nice mountain view.......

For sure, this is my first time reach to the top of mountain. I wish to see the sunrise as well. So that I wai together with my good friend + captain, Justin yap. See how ugly his hair.

I cannot describe how beautiful this scenary.............

Finally the sun is rise, you can see anybody take out their camera to take the photo. After you will feel that you are not more cold after the sunrise.......

After finish viewing the sunrise we decided to go down and back to Laban Rata to have our breakfast.

For sure we will take some photo along the journey as a memory and relax to go down without rushing.

Jumping at the mountain....... see how nice his style ..... Like it :)

Everybody is jumping with different style...... haha......

Acting to pull the rope and act tired instruce by our mountain guide....... it is fun .....

We are sitting at the sky. The sky is just very near to us.........

Some of nice view that capture by my friend, Alex.

Some of nice forest view that capture by my friend, Alex.

Around 8.30 am all of us were safely reach the Laban Rata and having our breakfast. Again everybody is describe how powerful they are and share with each other. We are really happy to talk this and that.

At 10.45am we decided to go down from Laban Rate to Timpohan Gate. Before go down again we take a group at Laban Rata here.

Along the journey down to Timpohan gate you will see people carry the gas tong to Laban rata. I really impress on them from my bottom of heart.

At here it is the time that you tell the people who going to Laban rata and say "you are almost there, jia you" ..... this is what I do along the journey.

At here we are seldom take the photo because we are tired + scenary is not so pretty. We reached at Timpohan Gate at 12.45pm. Finally we completed our Kinabalu Climb Expediture, everybody are safe and we shout loudly at Timpohan Gate "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" !!!!

Happy Dinner (6/4/2012) - Restaurant Todak Orang Aslis

Last few weeks, my friends and I decided to go to “stab” another friend, Li chiat for free dinner. We already planned this for long time as Li chiat always “stab” us for free meal. This chance we will not let him to escape. We choose a restaurant known as Restaurant Todak Orang Asli which Is quite famous restaurant in JB which it is selling the seafood. Without informing Li chiat that we are coming as well, we ask a girl, zi xin go to date him and he really fall in our trap since we know that he is very “like” to go out with girl.

That day my friends and I reached the restaurant quite early as we really want to see his reaction after he saw so many of his good friends are here… we really cant stop to laugh for this. We can imagine his reaction something like “stunned”, “pai seh”, “why you all are here”, ……. , candle dinner with a girl become gathering with the Muar friends. Haha…..

The surrounding of the restaurant. You can notice that so many people at here. So you have to book this before you come else it is very hard for you to get a place.

How fresh is their seafood !!! I notice that the prawn is very strong + fresh until they able to jump out from the net when catched by the worker.

The seafood at here is really quite expensive. Above is the photo showed how much expensive is the fish.

After he reached, what the reaction he had is really all what we expected. Haha…. !! We had already ordered many dishes for him. The food for this restaurant is really delicious but the price is quite expensive. Above is the some of the food that day. I am not able to capture all due to hungry while waiting Li chiat.

The blue shirt guy is li chiat who is the boss of that day.

After finished this “happy dinner”, we do chat a lot and we are really happy because there is less and less chance we able to gather all the old friends after you come out to work. For sure we had requested our Boss, Li chiat to settle the bills. We “stabbed” him for around RM300 for 9 people. Next time I am not sure who the turn is. Maybe is me, I need to put more money in my wallet. Haha….

My 25 years old's birthday

Yesterday was my 25 th years old's birthday. There is no any big celebration for myself. Anyhow I still buy myself a piece of secret recipe cake.

Facetime with june june. She sing a very very very warm birthday song for me. Feel happy with this.

A birthday card surprise from june june which she keep at my car few days ago. Feel happy and surprise with this simple and nice birthday card.

My 25th birthday gift from june june. I love this badminton shoe very well because it looked like Lee Chong Wei's shoe. Haha ... Hopefully with this shoe i can win more badminton games in future.

This year cant celebrate birthday with june june and hopefully next year I can celebrate together with her......

Sabahking's hairstyle

My hair is long already, he is no more handsome for me whatever how I set my hair, he will still looked ugly. I have decided to cut my hair tomorrow but I am wondering what type of hairstyle is more suit to me?

Is it I should change my old hairstyle by colour my hair like below?

I think that most of the guy/girls like david beckham once ago including myself. Maybe i should try to have a "karipop" 's hair?

May I to try out something special hairstyle? Maybe it is the time I need go to scare people with my new hairstyle!

I have one thinking to keep my hair long just like those KOREAN GUY, look fashion and nice.

My badminton idiot, Lee Chong Wei, should I follow his hairstyle-->guai guai hairstyle.

I am 25 years old and now already old. Maybe i should cut out the old hairstyle hair just like my snooker idol - Ronnie O Sulivan.

Or just don't think so much by following the Wayne Ronney hairstyle. I love this hairstyle. haha...

BookFest @ Malaysia 2011

Merdeka, Merdeka and Merdeka. 31 August is a meaningful day for Malaysia. In this meaningful National day, June june and I went to BookFest@Malaysia 2011 which held in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.

We reached KLCC around 11am and we able to find the parking in a short time. This is my very first time come to KLCC. KLCC is so big and crowded with a lot of people.

There are a lot of people including senior citizen, men/women, kids crowded to buy the books, everybody is busy just like the pasar.

The slogan for this BookFest@Malaysia 2011 is "ONE BOOK ONE WORLD 一书一世界" that mean everybody must have one book in their hand no wonder they go anywhere !

Faster go to this BookFest to buy some books to fill in your book shelf. The books are really cheap and get a lot of discounts.

After I spend a lot of time inside the BookFest and study inside without buying a book, this is the punished for me. HIGH PARKING FEE. So don't study inside buy the books back and study at home.
