Yahoo . We Made It !

We've conquerred Mount Santubong ! Few of us in the cell group had set our goal on climbing the tallest mountain in South East Asia, Mount Kinabalu next year, and we planned to embark on some fitness training so that we will be fit for the climb next year. Our first stop was Mount Santubong, a relatively small mountain about 40 minutes from the city. It is said that Mount Santubong resembles a woman lying on her back. This mountain is renown for it's “single rise” steep slope, very intimidating especially when you are near its summit. We started climbing at 7.45am in the morning, and it took 2 1/2 hours to reach the peak, slightly ahead of our predicted 3 hours schedule . Well, the climb was tough, very steep, but we thought if we were to make it to KK, we had to overcome the fear and physical exhaustion of conquering this mount. With a lot of prayers and encouragements within the team, via Alvin's state of art walkie-talkie, I am proud to announce that WE MADE IT TO THE TOP ! The scenery at the peak is simply amazing, beautiful beyond words ! Alvin, Alex and me , feeling on top of the world ! One of the many obstacles we met along the way..... The fantastic view at the peak plus the cool temperature up there is enough to make you forget all the hardships of climbing. We praise God for the protection throughout the entire journey and thank you Alvin and for the great photos.
