KK trip =)

Went on a much awaited trip to Mt KK , Sabah on 28th April - 2nd May with marc, mich n kw.. The trip's diff frm the prev trip which i went, it's my most gungho trip so far, mich n i tot tt it seems more like training for us rather than a leisure holiday.. ha we were pushed beyond our physical limits..

Nevertheless,really enjoyed this trip, the company, the experience... amazed by God's creation..Went Pulau Manukan at the very last min, one hour before the last boat, the water's crystal clear.. with alot of fishes swimming all ard..pity tt we din grab those snorkelling gear...but we did walk out onto the small wooden bridge to have a taste of having those small fishes swimmng around our legs..interesting..Sunset at waterfront is beautiful as well!

The scenary along the way up mt KK is awesome, with mt KK forming the backdrop..ha camera is always on a standby mode, will just start clicking whenever there's an opportunity..=P Started to trek up mt KK from Timphon gate,it's a 6km trek before we can reach Laban Rata where we are suppose to stay there till 2am the nxt morning to complete our climb up Low's Peak..the journey is made up of a combination of stairs and rocky steps.. some are really steep..so glad to spot qt a number of pitcher plant and squirrels along the way.. (have to thank God for the weather as well!When i saw the online weather forecast, it predicted that KK is gg to rain for the next 10 days, but when we went, the weather's really sunny, at least for the first n 2nd day =))Little yellow flowers laced the road up Laban Rata, helped brighten up the walk abit, cos we have been walking for ard 7-8 hours le n fatigue is really setting in then..

At Mt KK, am captivated by the vast number of stars in the sky..first time seeing a sky full of stars..=) n i saw a shooting star too,too stunned to make any wishes!!We decided to stopp around Panar Laban Rockface..about 2.5km away from summit,cos the rest of the route seems really daunting,have to climb up a steep surface (almost 70-80 degree) with the rope mounted by the side..dunno how to do it..think the coming down part is also a big headache..no regrets for not reaching Low's peak..think it's quite a feat le..but one thing to learn is tt definitely have to train before gg..din really train , so find it qt tough.. had a difficult time climbing down the mountain also..it's really gruelling..fatigue coupled with aches on both legs did not make it any better..Thank God for kw n marc who supported n enc mich n myself along the way =) n the guide who was so kind to help us carry our bags twds the end (initially he charged RM7 per kg for the bag tt he gonna carry, but after seeing our state, he simply do it for whatever amt we want to give..thk God for tt!)

Thank God for His protection during this trip and tt there's no hiccups along the trip! =) (abit worried b4 gg there cos made all the correspondences via email n internet, did not really have something firm to hold on to..kinda not sure what to expect haha so really glad tt it went well..=) ) Thank God for Jia and her parent's hospitality as well, allowing us to stay @ her place n fetching us to Senai airport for our flight early in the morning.. =)
