kinabalu

We expected a lot for twenty-twenty yet it turned out to be beyond our grasp. However, I guess I was lucky as I was managed to come home safely after the last hike, a day before total lockdown. Due to overweight, I love hiking. After losing ten kgs, thus, to reward myself, my colleagues and I planned a year before to hike Kinabalu. 
Before the trip, we booked hiking slot from trusted agent;akinabalufriends, and arranged the flight tickets. I only had chances to hike Pulai, Datok, Angsi and Lambak. Since the most challenging part of Kinabalu is the stairs, three months before,  climbing four levels stairs of my school block, 7 - 10 times, 60 squats and drinking 2L water everyday is a must. Trust me, it helps. Few days before hiking, please refer pharmacist and consumed tablet for altitude sickness because my cousin had serious headache at Laban Rata as we rising the altitude. This sharing helped me a lot for the preparation. Nevertheless, girls, do not missed this one important thing; be alert with menstrual cycle because when it comes, it was really messy and painful. I hiked up energetically, but went down like jelly. I couldn't feel my legs, climbed down using two poles and ended up five hundred meters on Mountain Taxi which costed me RM300, paid upon reaching Timpohon Gate. Kinabalu is worth to be explored; cantik sampai nangis.
