So what make me move.......

Hi, I just gone through a very hectic and yet solid week. A lot of challenging work need to be done, to be prepared and to be solved within a short timing. So, as usual I slow ran out of my track "The come back journey".

Rethink back, I was lucky enough to have a group of committed house mate. The decisions made during a very hectic timing, where everyone of us have to rush for our final year project and at the same the final year examination.

Initially everyone were in the mood of "want or not". People like me, for sure it is a must. Because it is a must for me to do this before I start my boring and routine 9-5 working life. At the same time, I faced a very big challenge in financial to fund my trip. I was almost give up the plan. As. I'm a very conservative guy, security is my most important life value. Luckily, during that time, my very good girl friend support me and encourage to do what I want to do before I start working. So, after several days of online research, discussion and phone call we did came out a very budget plan which we can fulfill everyone need and time.

Laban Rata Rest House

So, we decided to buy the air ticket and make the reservation for our solid plan. Guess what, the big challenge just started.......The agent claimed that head count for Mount Kinabalu hiking is fully book for the month of April (which is the peek hour for the Mount Kinabalu hiking, where the quota is limited by the accommodation over Laban Rata Rest House => 160 headcount). There is a very strict government requirement for any participant to stay overnight at Laban Rata Rest House before you continued your journey to the summit. Because our body need time to cope with the thin O2 environment.

This become worst, when we were already have our air ticket purchased. Instantly, we called for N number of agents to look for opportunity available, and on the other hand my friends look for any other special destinations available to replace our regretfulness of unable to concur the summit.

The Summit of Mount Trusmadi

1 day, 2 days go by, we keep on making call seems like never helped.At the points of time everyone seems like very de-motivated because of this issue. Whilst, one my greater surfer's friend found that there is another 2nd highest peak in Malaysia available in Sabah - Mount Trusmadi. But, there are only 2 to 3 group of people hiked before. It seem like very challenging and a no man land in the center of Sabah. Woooorrrr.....our excitement is backed again. We think that , if we can't concur the highest at least we can concur the 2nd highest summit and at the same time we are pioneer, hehehe. Without any further delay we confirmed our itinerary with the agent and at the same time we told the agent, please do "Whatever it take, to reserve a place of us in mount kinabalu trip". Of course, we didn't put any hope on that.

2 days later, when I was busy to prepare for my final paper, I received an unknown caller number call. The caller said, Mr. See we have a great news to tell you, we did found the place for your group to Mount Kinabalu Trip, do you still willing to go? SUREEEEE.....I can't stop my excitement of this. After confirmed with the agent, I ran up to my fellow housemate and told them the news. Everyone were very excited of the news. Seem like no one care about the final exam and project.

Sure enough we were on our confirmed way to CONCUR THE HIGHEST AND 2ND HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN MALAYSIA within the 9 days trip.......
