神山【三】 / Mount Kinabalu[3]

凌晨一點多起床，吃了早餐後準備攻頂。兩點多神山導游到了，攻頂夢開始了。帶著沉重的心情，跟著隊友們慢慢的往上走。感覺四肢無力，呼吸困難，那放棄攻頂的感覺又來了。為了不拖延時間，只好讓步讓師兄師姐們先走，我在後方包尾。我跟著神山導游一起走，不，應該說我走得慢神山導游逼不得已跟著我一起走。哈，看他的樣子很不耐煩，跟著有如龜速的小伙子撐著上，我不累他都累啦。愛莫能助，怪也怪我不好好地做足運動。雖說平時有運動，那種運動一天休息兩天的，出來的效果就是這樣了。一路上看著其他隊的隊員像支箭地沖著上，尤其是看見一名上了年紀的日本婦女攻得比我還要快，心裡感到很不服，所以下定決心怎樣都要攻到頂。



天色慢慢地亮起，望向東方似乎看見了細細的陽光在空中散播著，但我還有一段距離才到頂端。我在想，太陽一定會在我還沒攻到頂時出現。在攻頂時讓我想到了中國的一句名言：“不到黃河心不死”，但我確換去“不到神山心不死”，哈哈！果然不出我所料，看回攻頂後第一張照片的時間顯示著六點三十分，日出更不用說只因老早就在五點半出現了，師兄師姐們各個都在休息了，我足足慢了一句鐘。整個爬山過程中，唯一最遺憾的一點就是看不到日出，如果下回再次爬神山攻頂時我一定會要求提早一句鐘出發。


站在東南亞最高峰，以海拔四零九五點二米高的京那巴魯山感覺有點自豪，甚麼想放棄和累的念頭在此刻都消失了。頂峰與山下的景色到現在還牢牢地刻在腦海裡，拍照留念當然是必要的。休息片刻後，準備回休息站了。此刻看見神山導游，他對著我說上山每次都是我最慢，現在希望我不是最慢的那個，但他說高興的是至少看見我上到頂峰。我感覺下山的步伐比上山容易，只因下山時不大覺得累，很順利地回到帕納拉班休息站。休息片刻，收拾東西後直往餐廳用餐。


從山腰到遆婆漢入口（Timpohon Gate）用了大約四小時，下山時和隊伍離隊，前方的三位大師兄像支箭地勇往直沖，拼命的追著但還是徒勞無功，搞到挾在中間獨行，足足比前方的大師兄們慢了一句鐘。真的覺得下山容易得多，但有上過神山的朋友都對我說下山比上山難。上過了神山，總算完成了心愿。這次的沙巴之旅，只因想與神山有約，成功地征服了它，只因有師兄師姐以及神山導游的幫助，再次在這為你們說聲謝謝。從沙巴回來已兩個月多了，還在寫著關於這次的長游，師兄們早在兩個月前停筆了，我想關於沙巴之旅的細節應該在此停筆吧，這一篇可說是完結篇。




Woke up at 1am, after the breakfast we ready to move on to the summit. Around 2pm the mountain guide reached at the rest hut, dream to the summit started. With the tire mood, I followed the team moved on slowly. The give up feeling came back after I feel hard to breath, without wasting the time I let others moved on first & followed at the back. I followed mountain guide all the way, sorry, should say I walked too slow & the mountain guide have no choice to followed me at the back all the way. Haha, his face looks like impatient caused need to follow someone who move on like turtle. Nothing can do, the only thing can blame on was did not exercise enough before hike the mountain. On the way to summit, I saw member from others team moved on like an arrow. I felt sad when I saw a Japanese women walked faster than me, so I promised to myself must reach to the peak.

The sky slowly turns to light, I look at the east & saw a little sunshine but I still have a long distance to reach to the peak, I am sure I cannot see the sunrise when I reach at the peak. Yes, I can’t see the sunrise. By review the time of the first photo that I snapped on the peak, it shows 6:30am. I was late for 1 hour, team members was resting there. For the whole journey, the only thing I feel regret was unable to see the sunrise. If next time comes back to Mount Kinabalu, I will request for move on 1 hour earlier when on the summit trail.

Standing on the peak of Mount Kinabalu, Southeast Asian Highest Mountain with the high of 4095.2 meter above sea level, I felt proud of myself and the feeling of give up has gone. Snap photos is a must as a memory, I will never forget the scenery on the peak. After a rest, time to back to Panar Laban hut. I saw the mountain guide, he told me every time I am the slower one, he hope that I am not the slower one when come down to the Panar Laban Hut & also when back to the Timpohon Gate. But he said he feel happy because at least I can reach to the peak. I feel the way came down is more easier, used lesser time to reached at Panar Laban. After a rest, we went to restaurant for our lunch.

It took about 4 hours for me walked from Panar Laban Hut to Timpohon Gate. 3 of the team member’s move on like an arrow, I tried to catch up but cannot & end up walked alone. They took about 3 hours to reached at Timpohon Gate; anyway I feel walk down is more easier than climb up. I feel happy because I did reached at the peak, my Mount Kinabalu dream has completed finally. The main purpose for this trip was have my date with Mount Kinabalu, anyway I have to thanks to my team members & the mountain guide for take care of me. Sabah Trip has passed for more than 2 months & I still writing about the trip, few members already stop posting about the trip 2 months ago. I think I should stop here writing about Sabah Trip, and this post considered as a final post for Sabah Trip. ~END~

神山【二】 / Mount Kinabalu[2]

晚上的冷令我無法好好入睡﹐得不到充足的睡眠，第二天起来就感到很累。早餐用了後，收拾东西准备出發囉。到註冊櫃檯報到後，跟著神山導游跳上了休閑車來到了山腳美斯勞（Mesilau）入口處。就這樣我們一行八人浩浩蕩蕩出發了，我從美斯勞進口處望向森林裡頭感覺沒甚麼的，誰知走了幾步開始感覺到壓力來了。當看到了第一個牌時，上面寫著五百米。天啊，才五百米。從這裡開始，我生起了雜念頭，我很想放棄，我很想跟前方的隊友說我不想攻頂了。但為了面子，我不敢說，逼著雙腳撐呀撐，望望風景。。。咦，又到了另一個牌，上面寫著一公里。才一公里，放棄的念頭還不斷的在我腦裡轉個不停。

走著走著，我已離隊。前方幾位大師兄已不知去向，後方的因要拍照，所以我在中間獨行。過了不久，才遇見了前方其中一位因趕不上而慢慢獨行的大師兄。有伴總比沒伴好，兩人講講話拍拍照，知道我好像要放棄，不斷地在旁鼓勵別想太多。就這樣我拋開了放棄登山的念頭，繼續接受挑戰。

老天爺看見我爬得那麼辛苦，還為我“流下了眼淚”，撒下了聖水為我鼓勵。雨水的到來已在預料中，所以不用抱怨，唯一能做的事就是披上雨衣。走了不久，後方的師兄師姐門趕上了。五人就這樣慢慢地攻著上山腰，聖水滲透了鞋子，冷和累在每個人的身上都能感受得到。美斯勞這條路線的風景的確優美，某些地方在網上看過的現在確出現在眼前了。雙腳的累與痛，導致抽筋，搽盡無數的藥膏都不行，師兄給了兩粒松筋止痛藥，不到半小時幾乎忘了那疼痛，真要說聲謝謝你們的照顧。

走了大約八個鐘頭後，終于看到山腰的餐廳。進入餐廳前，門前的溫度計顯示著攝氏九度～冷～。 進入餐廳第一樣要做的東西就是放下沉重的背包，來杯熱飲料，只能用一個字來形容-爽。休息足夠後，繼續往休息站走去，帕納拉班（Panar Laban）就是我們要到的目的地。到達那兒時，看見了三位大師兄，他們比我們快到達大約兩小時，佩服佩服！在休息站不敢沖涼，只因那種冷度是無法形容的。晚餐用了後，第一時間是烘干鞋子。八點多就上床找周公，但是怎樣也無法好好地入睡只因枕頭、棉被、床樣樣都是冷的，只能小睡罷了。~太冷了～

The weather here too cold make me cannot sleep very well, felt of tire & lack of energy when woke up in the morning. After breakfast, we report ourselves at registration counter and 8 of us started the challenge from Mesilau Gate entrance with the mountain guide. When I look into the jungle from outside of the Mesilau Gate it look like nothing, but when I moved on few steps I started to feel pressure. When I passed by the 1st board, on the board show 500 meter. My God, 500 meter only. From here I felt want to give up, I want to tell the group I want to give up to reach to the peak but I did not. I tried to move on by look around the scenery there, it come to another board showing 1 KM. 1 KM has passed but in my mind still felt want to give up.

4 of the members has moved on earlier, few members want to snap photos so at the end I walk alone. But later on I met with 1 of our group member from the front that left out by other 3. Along the way we snapped photos while chitchat, he felt that I want to give up and tried to encourage & advised me to move on. At the end, the give up feeling has gone.

The God has “cried” for me caused knew that I moved on with the tire body. Rain was in our expectation, so need not to blame or complains; the only thing was wear our raincoat. Few hours later, 3 of the group members catch up with us. So 5 of us moved on slowly to the rest hut, rain has wet up our shoes, everyone can feel the coldness & tire. Both of my leg’s muscle pain, thanks for my team members passed me 2 tablets of muscle painkiller for released my pain.

After walked for around 8 hours, finally reached at the restaurant near the rest hut. The thermometer in front the restaurant shows 9° Celsius, ~cold~. After entered to the restaurant, the first thing need to do is put down the rucksack & order a hot drink. After the rest, we head toward to our rest hut at Panar Lanar. When reached at the rest hut, we met 3 of the members who reached there around 2 hours earlier than us, salute to them. At Panar Laban I did not dare to bath, it’s too cold. After dinner, the first thing was dried up my shoes. I tried to sleep around 8pm but only managed to sleep for a while, the bed, the quilt and the pillow everything was cold. ~TOO COLD~

神山【一】 / Mount Kinabalu[1]

當提起沙巴，往往會給人一種感覺聯想到神山。去年去了沙巴，只能與神山擦身而過。今年再到沙巴，為的就是要征服它。在神山公園和神山度過了三天，吸取了三天無比清新的空氣。我知道爬神山的過程很辛苦，但當我還沒征服它之前就已經帶著一種心態我一定能攻到頂看到日出。第一天到達神山公園時，心情還蠻好，可以四周圍走走拍拍照。晚上睡覺时只能用一個字來形容 – ～冷～，這裡實在太冷了。

When mention about Sabah, the first impression come to mind will be Mount Kinabalu. I missed the chance to date with MK last year, but I met with MK this year. Stayed at Mount Kinabalu Park and Mount Kinabalu for 3 days, the air is absolutely fresh. I knew challenge with Mount Kinabalu is a tuff job for me, but before start the challenge I always have a thought that I can reach to the top of the mountain and see the sunrise. When day one reached at Mount Kinabalu Park I feel relax, enjoy of snapping photos. At night when time to sleep, then only thing you can feel is cold. The weather here is too cold...~COLD~.
