Can't believe that it has been more than a week since I came back from the trip. My second attempt since I didn't make it to the peak last year. This round, different group and bigger group too! I was very determined, but some things were beyond control - altitude sickness, weather. Armed with loads of positiveness and tonnes of encouragements, I took the step forward..
Arrived Kota Kinabalu airport on 29 April 2012. There were 2 groups, one flying in from KL and the other group flying in from Singapore. Lucky our flights were not too far apart. While waiting for the other group, we were dropped off at one of the local shopping malls for lunch and also some shopping. Yes, shopping for our climb necessities, ie isotonic drinks, buns, chocos, etc...
Once everyone has arrived and done with their last minute shopping, we hopped into 2 vans that will bring us to the "base camp" ie Kinabalu Park where we will stay over for the night. On our way, we couldn't resist but de-toured to "Rumah Terbalik".

After that, off to our destination and settled in for the night. We retired early around 830am. We wanted a good rest, and be ready for the climb.
