Entry: Mt. Kinabalu… Feb 27, 2006



Yes I made it; I reach the peak of Mt. Kinabalu. The feeling reaching the top of the highest mountain of Southeast Asia was really wonderful. I feel that now that I can conquer the world. Things that I experienced and learned from the journey were:-

 

  1. My fitness was not bad all. I can be proud of it. Few classes of cardio and workout in the gym really pay me well. I was climbing steadily.
  2. The climbing track was easy, but the challenging part was the weather. Cold and strong wind made me freezing. But it does not stop me from keep on walking to the top of the mountain.
  3. Climbing up is easy but wait till you go down the mountain. Here the real challenge comes in. Both of my leg muscle cramp like hell. I cannot bend both of my leg. According to the guide that follows us, it is because we stay too long at the top. So the cold wind affects our leg muscle. Anyway, I just walk slowly because going down is not as excited as you going up.
  4. It is very obvious the level of fitness of Malaysian were very bad. This was agreed by many guides there as the foreigners (mat saleh) were simply going up without much problem compared to our fellow Malaysian.

 

All I can say, being at the top of Mt. Kinabalu as well as the journey had really affect my life in certain ways. My perspectives have change on certain things and also boost my confidence level. Whatever it is, I encourage conquering Mt. Kinabalu and enjoy the experience.

 

ps: i will post some pictures later
