At last,
i've got the photos!!! The photos
i've got!! =D
Its exactly 2 months back, i was enjoying in
Sabah but now
i've got to get myself ready for EXAMS!! Cruel reality. Cant be playing all the time =(
Anyway, here are the stuff i treasure from
Sabah.
A certificate of record and souvenir. My cert wasn't a coloured one. And that's only one reason to that, i did not make it to the top. How sad =( Anyway, the climb is truly a memorable chapter in my life.
Bet some of you must be asking
why didn't i conquer the peak?!!
Please do not feel
cheated if you have asked me before bout my climb and i told you it was fun. It
really was
fun, minus the
vomiting while
ascending the mountain and minus the
muscle cramp after
descending the mountain. Basically there were TWO question that
i've been asked after coming back from
KK.
1st question: Hey, How's your climb??
2
nd question: Hey, did you make it to the peak??
Firstly, its was one great experience for me. I've seriously never ever walk this long and this far in my entire living days!! Imagine walking for 7 hours in a day!! Thinking bout it now, i have no idea how i made it.
LOL. Anyway, a billions
THANK YOU to
Yuen Cheong who
CONTINUOUSLY motivated me up the mountain. I really mean
CONTINUOUSLY!!
Sometimes, i cant help but smile on my own when i think of the CONTINUOUS MOTIVATION situation. One great guy who motivated me from the bottom of the mount till Laban
Rata. Kept telling me from my back " Keep it up, you can make it", "Keep going, keep going don't stop", " You can make it
Sook Yee, you can make it" Theses are the few sentences i kept hearing till i reached the rest house.
CONTINUOUSLY FOR 7 HOURS!! How could i not smile when think of it =)
Second answer: i did not make it to the top. Vomiting continuously ascending the mountain was part of the reason and other part of it.... i don't want to drag the group. Being a known thing in the group that
im the weakest and most-not-fit, i pulled back. I knew that the rest intended to make it for the sunrise and with my pace. I doubt they can make it. So, i pulled back. (
I'm not trying to make myself sounds like a great person sacrificing but this is truly what i thought back then) Regrets?? Of course there is.
A small pat on my back. It would be a lie if i say no. Staying positive, i know i can always conquer it in future, knowing that there are friends of mine who ascended more than 3 times!!
lol =)
Basically the routes were well path with foot steps. It has been walked on so frequent that its just like any other
lorong belakang rumah. What makes it tough is of course that this
lorong belakang rumah is ascending up a hill cum the altitude sickness that
occured to me. sob.sob..
Altitude sickness is an acute exposure to low
air pressure. As the air becomes thinner as we ascend, our body tend to be uneasy and causes vomiting, persistent rapid pulse, headache, dizziness etc. And i
vomitted more than 3 times.
Keluar all my breakfast, even the liquid that i took while ascending were all out.
Some pictures at 3173.70 metres (Laban
Rata Resthouse)
11.9
Celsius in the morning
A total of 6 of us who climbed the mountain. It took me bout 7 hours to reach Laban
Rata (3/4 of the mountain) I know
I'm slow but there's one thing that i should shout about,
i've walk the longest walk so far in my life though i was slow =p
In a nutshell, i had a great time on Mount KK. Climbing with great companion and coming back with great memories.
