Gunung Panti

After my 4 years of struggle, completing my course, it's time for me to escape for a short trip to Gunung Panti to acclimatize my body before my big trip to Mt. Kinabalu in May. I have always envisioned myself to do some GCS (group conditioning session) with my climbing "kakeez". Towering at 510m-obtained from the internet, (altitude reading from G-Shock Riseman Watch- about 535m), Gunung Panti is a good training ground if you are heading for your major trip to a much higher mountain, example Mt Kinabalu. I'm not sure why Panti is called Gunung (mountain) as it is just 510m whereas a mountain should be above 600m. It should be call Bukit Panti or Panti Hill. Otherwise, it is still a nice place to start my GCS other than my weekly Bt Timah hike.

White Water Rafting

What a week of fun & excitement! It's simply exhilarating, awesome, keeps your adrenaline pumping, definitely an experience that you will never forget. And I'm talking about the White Water Rafting at Padas River (Grade IV) over at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. I believe that the whole group enjoyed the program (Thank You guys/gals for being a good sport) and I'm pretty sure that they want to go again, me included. There has been new requests for a return trip there. The good news is, YES, I'll organize another trip, another adventure. The not so good news is, it will not be that soon. Do check out for the latest updates in this blog.

For now, these are some of the photos that deservedly be shared to everyone. Enjoy....

The road trip. About 150 Km from Kota Kinabalu to the town of Tenom. Approximately 2.5-3 hrs of drive. Up to the Crocker Range. Nice views throughout the journey...
