I will be updating this blog with all the projects going now and then. Stay tuned!

What to prepare for Mount Kinabalu climbing?

Hi! I know, it's been a while right? Well. As some of you know that I'm officially married and have start my new life as a Wife. I know apologize will not satisfied you but I will try to update this blog as much as I could this year. Last year, I have booked my name to climb the Mount Kinabalu on 11th April this year. Due to my career commitment and I have a serious audit going on that week, I have to let go and hand over to my cousin. Obviously, this post I made is special for her and a part of good luck to her as well. Mae, be ready!

Mount Kinabalu is one of the world heritage and one of our proud treasure of Sabah. Every year local and foreign people climb this mount, you need to book early for this trip unless you are trying to get into the Climbathon which held once in a year. This trip is not a cheap, and is not like a normal hiking as you thought. You have to mentally and physically fit for it or you may get injured and worst case, Death.

For first time climber, you can always refer to my previous post - Always Trust Yourself - Climbing The Mount of Kinabalu. There are 2 route of going up, the Timpohon Gate, Kinabalu Park and the Mesilau Nature Resort. If you go from Timpohon gate, you will be pass through a lot of going up steps where I could say, higher but shorter route, while Mesilau route is 2km further and the scenery are better than the Timpohon route. My suggestion would be, going up through Mesilau and going back to Timpohon. This expedition will take 2 days to complete includes eat and sleep.

Before the trip:

1) Get your physical ready. Do regular exercise like jogging, cycling or swimming in order to get your breathing technique right. Remember, you will face a climate change during the climb, prepare yourself about a month.

2) Planning your trip like transportation from home up to the starting point. Mostly, the trip is in group of people, check with them and get confirmation.

3) Now you might think, what should I bring? Do I need to bring more clothes?

In my case, I would try to bring as light as I could, because, the higher you go up the heavier your stuff will be. By this time, if you are not fit enough, you will thought of throwing your bag on your way up or never go up at all. What did I brought last time? Check your list and you may highlight to me if you think I missed something that really important.

What I wear during day 1 (from Mesilau to Laban Rata) - This will take about 5-7 hours walk. Start from 8am, and depends on you to reach early or late, but please do not reach Laban rata at 6pm, else you will missed your dinner and you might turn into a hungry dragon at night.

Clothing

1) Non slippery shoes - light weight recommended

2) Socks

3) Cap/snow cap

4) Sun glasses

5) Underwear/bra

6) Short pants/light weight pants

Inside the bag (where I put inside a plastic bag although my bag is waterproof)

1) 1 jacket - windproof or something that will not get heavy when you caught rain

2) Torchlight - rechargeable. - Additional headlight is recommended.

3) Soap & facial foam

4) Sunblock with high SPF - Don't assume that the weather is cold and we don't need that, remember we are climbing near to the sun

5) Gloves

6) Plastic rain coat - you can get this from the 7eleven store - think budget

7) Jumper or trouser (last time, I wear a legging so that if I got wet, it will dry easily)

8) Scarf is optional

9) Sarung/Towel - I would recommend a Sarung because it's not bulky stuff and easy to dry)

10) Underwear/bra

11) Non slip sandal - u will need this if your foot has blister while going down from the mountain.

12) Camera

13) Extra Battery

14) Mineral water - 1liter

15) Chocolate/Energy bar

16) Apple/Eggs

17) Active Fast Panadol/Aspirin

18) Safety Pins

19) Cotton Buds

20) Handyplast

21) Extra plastic bag

That's all as I remember, so, to Maglynna @ Mae, don't forget to pray for the good weather on that day! Have fun and please bring more photos please. Hold on, I found a good website on the guidelines to climb the mountain also. Check this out! ClimbMountKinabalu

I'll be back..

Watch out on new updates soon.. 😊 Construction under progress..

Rest In Peace - Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)

Everybody were talking about the launching of iPhone 4s in the tweet line yesterday and another shocking story in the front line news today as Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple has passed away. Condolences and prayer for him, Jobs leaves behind his wife, 4 childrens, 2 sisters, 49,000 Apple employees and millions of his followers and not forgetting those who are working with his invention. He has been produced something that improves technology not only communication, but music, photography, in short, he made human life easier! Condolences to the families, and to Jobs, all your guidance, all your creation will remain in our heart forever. Sadly be missed. God bless.

Taken from Apple front page

Even Google place his name on the front page today.

One of my favourite quote from him that reflect my vision of life:

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. ~Steve Jobs

Dedicate to Steve Jobs, we know you like The Beatles, and in my life, I love you more..

Ku nyanyikan rinduku padamu...

I was stumble upon Richado Tawith's YouTube's channel and found his single called "Lagu Rindu" feat Ridah, one of our best local talented soul singer. When I heard this song, it straight remind me of my late dad, this month is the month we lost him and I wish to meet him again in the after life. Daddy, kami sayang daddy, biar betapa rendah hati daddy jaga kami dulu, susah senang sama sama tanggung, tapi sya tidak pernah lupa, tangan daddy tidak pernah sampai di badan kami bila kami buat salah, dan mungkin itulah sebab bila daddy marah, biarpun tidak tinggi suara, air mata terus mengalir sebab terus terasa di dalam hati. Biarpun masa yang ada cuma singkat, sya bersyukur sebab jadi anak daddy, sya minta maaf sebab byk benda dalam dunia ni sya tidak dapat ikut sampai tahap menjatuhkan nama baik keluarga, tapi daddy lebih tahu dengan setiap keputusan yang sya ambil dan daddy lebih tau semua. Mamy, Abang, Oyo, semua sihat, Nenek, Anty, Angkol pun sihat juga. Harap daddy happy disana. Saya Rindu.... :(

Lagu Rindu - Richado feat Ridah

Padamu Tuhan ku berserah
Andai takdirku bersamanya
Walaupun lemah tiada kuasa
Akan ku sayangi dirimu

*
Biar kau tahu rasa ini
Dingin di dalam lagu

**
Ku nyanyikan rinduku padamu
Biarpun entah kapankan bersama
Ku sampaikan hangatnya cintaku
Agar kau sentiasa tahu ku sayang padamu

Andai tiada kau dan aku
Andai tiada bulan bintang
Akan ku kenali melodi cinta ini
Biar onak badai melanda
Biar ribut taufan menjelma
Akan ku kenangi rasa indah ini

repeat * and ** x2

Padamu Tuhan ku berserah
Andai takdirku bersamanya
