So, the main highlight of this trip is Ascending to the highest non-manmade place in Southeast Asia which is Low's Peak on Mount Kinabalu.

Me posing with my index finger signifying ONE which is a reference to the Malaysian One Ringgit note which has the St. John's Peak that is behind me.

This is the more accurate map of the Trails I took up the Majestic Mountain. The map on my pre-climb post was just the map of the route I'm using for the descent.

Lets begin at the lower right of this map. This is where I began my ascend at Mesilau Nature Resort. This trail is called the Mesilau Trail but just up to the Junction where you can see Layang-Layang Hut. From the junction, I turn right and up to the summit trail and up till Laban Rata where I had my dinner then to Panar Laban Hut for my long awaited rest. Bear in mind that Panar Laban has only two Huts and each hut can fit 6 occupants.

-Final Ascend SKIPPED-

The trail I used to descend after the junction was the Timpohon Trail and all the way down to Timpohon Gate which is a very fun one as it is 98% downhill. I ran all the way down and its pretty fun! Will do it again in the future.

***Stay Tuned For More***

Ignore the 360 Degrees View label. Its actually for the website.

-Miss Me!-

Local guy : Hi. Where are you from?

Me : Oh. I'm from err... the country that banned Avril's Concert.

***

Same setting.

Local guy - Hi. Where are you from?

Me - Malaysia.

Local guy - Oh, the country that banned Avril's Concert?

***

Feel the embarassment both ways.

What the heck is wrong Avril? Punk and rock not suitable during Merdeka and Ramadhan?

Then might as well close down all the TV stations who broadcast rock and puck music. Close down Astro, Tower Records and Speedy. All of these has rock and punk music and imagery. I tell you those fella has a big ROCK stuck in their head that they can't think properly.

Avril is such an acceptable icon compared to The Pussycat Dolls. And The Pussycat Dolls are able to perform here despite the revealing outfits. Avril wears pants! for most of the time.

Darn you dimwits if the concert doesn't go as its planned. You are going down with our Mr. Sleepy HEAD.

The source of my emoness. Bear with it.

If you have noticed, I change my header. Tell me what you think.

This is just a post to tell you all out there that I am still alive and well. =)

Anyway, The reason is I finally got replies from one of my best buds that I havent been able to communicate with for a long time and the feeling was great! On top of that, at that time, I am being tested for the Photoshop skills in my Communications Technology class by my lecturer and I am proud to say that I am able to do all the things he ask me to do and I did it flawlessly! I saw how he was marking the checklist and all the crossmarks were in the one collumn. At the end of the test, he said "Perfecto. Looks like we have an expert here". I just smiled =)

We are all tested in twos as he can only monitor two students at a time. I am the first student to be called and I finished before the other guy like 5 minutes before him. Gosh I'm damn proud of myself now. Woohoo!

30th July -  Stucked ThemeDay posters early in the morning around CIMP class area. Got poisoned (Its not big deal coz its by...) food. Stomach twitching the whole evening.

31st July - Black and White theme day. Finish packing mini first aid kits for the trekking club.

1st August - Helped washing cars for clean peaks. Had 2 hours of personal Chemistry tuition with my lecturer. Went McD in pyramid to get salt and pepper for trekking.

2nd August - Trekked up Gunung Datuk for the second time. Had a hell of a time. I have only one mission to do when i'm up there. To test my theory of - Does food taste better at higher altitudes? Yeah. I spent most of my time at a spot at the mid peak of the mountain cooking sausages while everyone was high up the peak taking photos and enjoying the view. If the condition was like my previous visit, I would have gone up and enjoyed the peak. But I just stayed and enjoyed the food instead. =)

3rd August - Woke up early and went Mid Valley with my sis in search of her story books. I was walking around with a dysfuntional left leg. Coz my whole body was fine cept my left thigh muscles. I think I exert it too much with all the leaping I did during the trek. It would suddenly had no response and I always almost fell coz of the leg. Grr...

4th August - College day. Nothing big. =)

I wanna blog on something, but I just forgot. haha... and thanks for the traffic! haha...

For single girls out there - How many times have you met a guy that you like out there and finds out that he has a girlfriend who you think doesnt suit him?

Just how many have you encountered? I know I encountered a lot (?). It happened to me quite recently. Oh well, life is too short to be unhappy about things like this. Though I have found someone that is single and obviously not in a relationship, its not the right time yet.

Anyhow, I have just gotten into a relationship and who knows it may be my lifelong partner or just till I retire.

This is a picture of her.

Aint she sweet? =)
