Mount Kinabalu
Congratulation 25 members and 3 association here to achieve their dreams. Standing on the top of South East Asia - Mount Kinabalu on June 6,2010. Outdoor Discovery Adventure (ODA), Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad (PAMB- Team AN1), and Young Malaysia Movement (YMM)!!!!
Before came to Mount Kinabalu, we have get ready for pass half year. Included booking flight ticket, booking for the seat to get in Mount KK, dealing with the agency here regarding the best price of accomodation, foods, transportation arrangement for 2 different groups arrival in KK. In the main time to provide training for KK members and etc. All the hiden things have to get ready as most of us didnt realized and know about it. It is not a simple tasked for organized a Mount KK expedition with a huge group of members. Here, i would like to salute our ODA 2010 Mount Kinabalu Trip Leader - How Fu Yaw, a.k.a ODA Master for the whole KK trip preparation. With his capable performance, well communication and dealing skills we are no worry anythings. As we know, most of the obstacles comes he will settle it and get it done. Thumbs up!!!! ;)
Today - June 4, is a great day for everyone of us. We depart from Kuala Lumpur to Sabah with a blessing and wishes from all ODA friends - Huay Woon, Jie Ng, Simpson, Harry, Chin Peng, Ser Siew, Jie Yi, Chee Loong, Kwang Leong, and family members. Miing Rueng and Fu Yaw are get ready at KK airport to pick up us for Sabah Seafood. The speical and good taste of Sabah seafood are really make us unforgotable. After that, we depart to Nabalu, stay 1 night at KK park. Is a enjoyed night to hang out with everyone!!!
June 5- Is a Sunny day at KK park!!! I am feel really joyful and great today. Early morning we have went to restaurant to take breakfast. After that, we gather at Timpohon gate to listen our guide briefing. Our guide told us the trails all the way up and where to take our lunch. In the main time, he remind us don't get over excited inside Mountain. Or talked too loud to disturb other hikers as well. All the way up to the staircase, we have stopped few times to take a rest and enjoyed the scenery. our guide has remind us not to rest too long in order to keep our stamina to go up. I think we have too long didnt catch up with Miing Rueng. Everyone keep on up date him our news in ODA and joking with him. Cause worry he stay too long at Sabah cant catch up with us ;p
Finally round 2.30pm everyone has sucessful reached Laban Rata!!! It is not a easy climb with all the non stop staircase climb up as compared with others Mountain. That is really make us exhausted and leg sour. However, with our playful character 3 of us still insist want to jump up to take a picture.
For whoever want to join Mount Kinabalu expedition, i am strongly recomment must do physical training. Or else, u must have a very strong mentality that can keep u walking like "Er Ge" - Mr Lim Kwee Kiat ;)
Few years to climbing, i am always believe that Mountain is a very mystery place. Not everyone want to visit, they are allowed. But rather to say they choose who they allowed to visit. When everyone reached Laban Rata at that moment, I am feel pleasure and release the tension. I know, atleast today we have meet the very good weather at Mount Kinabalu. As i believe we 25people, have bring a good heart and without any bad intention to come here. "Leave nothing but footprint and memory" always keep in my mind.
By June 6, 2.00am - We have confirmed can go up to the Peak with a good weather condition!!! The good news are really make us happy. Cause waiting for so long, finally we are near our dreams. All the way up, we need another 3hours staircase climb again. Even with an exhausted body, tiny oxygen, sour leg condition. But, i am tell myself this pain it just temporary. No matter what i still need to proceed, everyone are waiting us at the Top.
"Let's move, ah pang where are you?We want to reached soon", "Bee Suan, are you alright?","Where is Fu Yaw and
Miing Rueng?", "How is Chian Nii?". "How about Monica? walk with Ah Chong it is?"."Where is Jimmy now?" all the statement above i still can remembered clearly on time around 4am. This word are all come out from Laosi. She is always make sure all of us are walked together. And to makesure we are in the safe mode. That is our beloved ODA Advisor, Ms Lim Kwee Hoon - she is cool right? ;) She is the want to make us dream come true...In the main time, she need to make sure her "Er Ge" are in the good condition on his body for the whole KK trip as well.
Next, everyone know who is this great man?I guess not so much people know about him. Cause he is always low profile. Let me introduce him... He is Ms Lim 2nd Brother, One of Prudential Manager. Young Malaysia Movemen(YMM) National Vice President, Banting well- known person and etc. He has carry alot of mission in his shoulder.To lead every person around him to be a better person -Mr Lim Kwee Kiat. I am really praise on his very strong mentality. It is not a kidding, what he want to achieve in life, he really meant it. No matter in what condition as long as he has set the goals to achieve it. Before 30 minutes to reached Peak, he has ask me :"Pang, u think already?" i am blur and ask :"what u mean i think already?".He say:"To think what is u next dreams and goals. Make a wish here and to achieve it". Yes, you are right. i do make a wish here when at 8KM.
All i want to say is, Thank U!!! I always think that, how lucky i am. God is loves me, and it has bring me to know Lim Family's member. Both of the great leaders has make me change in my life, thought. And is my honourable to have a chance to achieve my dream at Mount Kinabalu with both of u.
