Sabah Trip: Aaron & I

This is the most adventuring trip i ever had. My first time to take KTM, Monorail and aeroplane. ^^. Acutallly aaron's friend is going to fetch aaron and I to airport but eventually she has something on...So we thinking of switching to plan B. The next morning, it becomes plan C, aaron's father fetching us to LCCT. It is not as good as you think cause we spending around 3 hours ++ in the airport and we have our breakfast at the Coffeee Bean

Have a nice cup of coffee for breakfast

Guess who i met in the airport? It is my schoolmate, Darrel and his friend who eventually is aaron's friend who are going to Sabah. What a coincidence. When we at KK, we are fetched by jerymie to his house.

The MOUNTAIN CLIMBING DAY.

We reach to Dongongon bus terminal at around 7.00am to take a bus to Nabalu Park and the bus driver do not know wat is Taman Kinabalu until he sees the ticket to Nabalu Park. Lol...Before we start our climbing expedition it's raining already.We are lead by Carlance Sullidan,our guide to the peak.

It takes 7++ miserable hours to get to the Laban Rata restaurant. Then we take a 10 minutes walk to Gunting Lagadan, our hostel room. At there we meet our MMUCF member. Talk about coincidence.... Haha.I take a bath at the hostel,HEHE..... Hot water of course.That night i sleep for about 2 hour only due to the extremely cold weather and altitude sickness.

We start our peak climb at around 2.30am.We stop at KM 8.0 out of KM 8.5 which is 500 meters more to reach the peak due to out of energy. But the kind and humble guide says he will give us the full cert as we can see and almost reach the peak.

If you think going up is hard, try going down. The muscle and tendon pain mostly come out during going down the mountain.It is raining again when we climbing down the mountain.... Haiz... COLD!!!! It takes around 5++ hours to get down the mountain as we push ourselves to the limit to get to the last bus.We get our mini bus to the Kundasang 'BUS STATION' which is made of 3 tiang, 3 papan and a few zinc roof.

Then, we take the real INITIAL D driving experience to KK as mini bus driver drives around 60km/h in less than 5 meters visibility. Aaron and I almost vomit when get down from the car. It is a very terrible feeling. The worst thing is that i catch cold during the climbing down the mountain and my cheeks are very red..... HAHA... That night i sleep after taking 2 panadol... ^^v

ARGGGGHHHGHHHH !!!!It usually happen on the next day after climbing... Luckily that day we take a rest in the house. Later in the evening we go to Tanjung Aru beach to have a walk... At night we watch football as the most interesting match of the day, MU 6- 0 Newcastle. Sadly my team liverpool draw 1-1 with M'boro.. Haiz....

Rafting Day

One of the interesting day of all, the rafting. After soaring our legs, now is our hands turn to be soar. Our rafting at the Padas River (Grade III-IV) is cancelled due to the train's track is destroyed during the rain and need 3 days of repair. So,we change to Kiulu River (Grade I-II) . It takes 2 hours to reach there by bus. We are given short briefing as we wearing our equipment. Our raft is kind of overweight i think, around 7 ppl and 2 navigator. Everything is fine during the rafting until a Korean guy ask the navigator to flip over the raft. It is the most stupid collision ever we head direct to the wall of stone as we enter a whirlpool and BANG.....I almost drown as i found myself under the side of the raft and slowly i went to center of raft which has and open gap of air. I do not know how much water i have drink but i am sure Aaron has drift for very very far away which end up as the last person the enter the raft. The whole rafting takes about 1++ hours. There always surprises when you come to this place. Guess what... The bathroom is actually an open bathroom.... Woot..luckily there are toilets with door for us to change our cloth....After lunch we head back home.....
