the mountain was fantastic! It was so cold, so windy and so beautiful:) And sometimes scary. I felt that we were really lucky to have climbed the mountain, given that it was still a thunderstorm at 12.30am on the summit day and we were supposed to set off at 2.30am. Still, the mount gave us a hell time with all the steep slopes- either all the way up or all the way down. Plus the crazy stormy weather! Oh wells, who asked me to go in monsoon feb?

Arrived at kota kinabalu airport at 12am and met our arranged transport to our hostel Red Palm:D The taxi uncle was right on time and there waiting;) Mini van taxi took about 15min to reach our hostel which is at jln gaya where the famous sunday market is happening! But it was at night and not a sunday, there wasnt anything much. Took a short walk to KFC cos that greedy lek was hungry;P No lah, the rest was hungry too. Then george was trying to persuade us to do via ferrata on mt k. I was rather reluctant cos i intend to do for this trip and i will def be coming back again. Moreover, i really wanted to do mesilau trail. I gave in since lek and esther are interested. Also, we're not staying at park HQ the night before our climb, which means not enough time for mesilau trail in the morn-> cant go read in the museum-> can't take my time to trek up... blah blah blah
Then woke up in the morn for snorkellin!!;) we went sapi and mamutid islands. The frigging corals are fantastic with lotsss of fish. The corals are those bigger ones which i only expect to see during a dive. well, surprises;) i count that i saw .. 30++ species? the cutest is still the clown fish/anemone fish which lives with the soft coral (anemone). Their behavior and hierarchy system is so amazing. I jus like knowing about ecology and relationship among the community. Had a great time suntan-ing and swimming with the fish. Plus feeding them:))
