2010 Sabah Mount Kinabalu Expedition


Mount Kinabalu is one of the anticipated mountain that i wish to visit since i was a young boy..because of ODA i was able to visit this childhood mountain of mine. Really grateful :)..... Yes, i can go anytime..but sometimes it is not the destination, it is who we go with.....maybe all this years i am waiting to go Mount KK with the right Team & right Person...although it is just a short trip, it is a meaningful one.(Just SAYANG ah seong cant join us this time)....

Lucky and grateful for us this year ODA expedition we are able to reach the top with great weather and return safely. First of all would like to thank ODA, Lausi, Pang, Miing Rueng, Chianni, Bee Suan, Monica, Jimmy that give me the support for organizing this trip and also not forgetting blessings from Huay Woon and Ah Seong...although he is not with us, i know his heart is with us....because he kept sms us...lol.......(Dont worry next time if u go we will go with you...just maybe we will wait at KK park....haha). Without ODA this trip would not be as smooth as it be.


Besides that would like to thank all 2010 Mount KK participant for
joining us..hope all of you have a good time there....some say word is nothing compare to a picture..hope all of you remember the scenery at the peak....let our heart be as wide a KK Mount Peak...special thanks to all of the members that cooperated/help each others out and also on time at the right time and right place. Also special thanks to Jaiwong that help us take alot of pictures only you can do it.....that means every trip you have to come ...haha..

Congratulation to all of us, we tried out best and prepared for the summit attempt and finally we reach the summit. There is no such thing as whether we can or cannot reach..it is just you want it badly or it just nevermind..(Salute to Er Ge, push to the limit and reach the summit!!).

Mount KK is an easy but tough mountain as Miss Lim said. Why easy, because the trail to summit is ready made into stairs, we do not have to carry our foods up, can hire porter to carry out bags too . So why it is tough? Because of altitude effects, long hours of hike up, the cold and our stamina to support the long hours of hiking. Easy but tough ..do we need preparations?? YES. We need training, in life what things that need not preparations??....Lucky for all of us, ODA have done our preparations and ready for this expedition and finally we reach the top ..:)


Through this trip too we saw a lot of human's nature.... Such as at the peak there, group of people that reach there earlier would not give ways for the later person that arrive to take photos....just stand there/sit there beside the ridge!!! Imagine if someone accidentally slipped and pushed the guy down....After taking photos, we leave to let other person turn to take photos....Besides that, during the way up and down, we saw alot of porters carrying foods, rubbish up and down Laban Rata. Makes me feel that different lives have different choices, it is just how we live our lives to the most and work hard for it.

Lastly, it is a nice, meaningful trip..that all of us can gather back and hike together..no matter what obstacle ahead we will settle it and move on !!! See you guys soon !!!! Cheers !!!
