Jalan-jalan, cari makan... (craved for chicken wings)
View of Mount Kinabalu from Kundasang town center
View of Mount Kinabalu during sunset... the red circle shows Laban Rata at 3,273m. This is the place where we need to stay overnight before we hike to the summit of Low's Peak.
And the place actually looks like this .... The yellow roof is Laban Rata Resthouse.
At night, we had a fun & crazy night. We had ice-breaking session, self intro and get to know each other better. The highlight of the night is we had a closed door (and windows too) card playing with $$ involved. You know what I'm talking about! We played the card game called "In Between", which is an easy game to play. The biggest contributors of the night were Ming Pei, Tan Ca & David Goh. Never mind la, they can afford. hehehe...

After breakfast we went to Kinabalu National Park for the mountain climb registration. We spent about 45 minutes to walk around the park.
"Take nothing but photographs. Leave nothing but footprints."
Later on, we hopped on the taxis and went to Mesilau Nature Resort, where we stayed 1 night before the climb.
Surprisingly the lunch served at Mesilau restaurant was not bad at all. The setting is very comfortable too.
All the group members arrived in KK at night. Most of them flew from KL, except for Fiona from Singapore and Ming Pei from Penang. I went to Terminal 2 twice to fetch 2 rounds of them.

On 14 March 2010, we went to Kundasang and stayed overnight at Kinabalu Pine Resort, which I have never been there for more than 10 years. Surprisingly the resort is quite well maintained. The landscaping is nicely done and the room is quite comfortable.

That night, we checked in Bishop Head's Hostel. That day was free & easy for everyone, before the big day came.
Both Yann & Ming Pei have great potential as models :)
At night, we had a warm & delicious steamboat at the Mesilau restaurant. It was a very cold night. Only 12 degree celsius when we had our dinner at 7PM! I am sure that night the temperature fell below 10 degree celsius when we slept. It was so cold that I woke up few time . At one time I couldn't stand the cold, I digged out my turtle neck sweater from my backpack, wore it and continue to sleep. I didn't really sleep well that night partly because I was anxious for the next day.
