Mount KK

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??

2nd 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.
