Panggilan KINABALU..

As pure Sabahan, I'd been at the peak of the highest mountain in South East Asia once.. It was about 5 years back during my Matriculation Level in Labuan.. After that, never crossed my mind to again climb the said mountain.. But, I ever said this "Kalau naik pigi puncak sa mau la, tapi kalu mau turun mau fikir 2-3 kali dulu la"..

I got an SMS last week from a friend of mine asking whether I'm interested to conquer the mountain for a second time.. It is actually a school trip of SMK Gunsanad 2 scheduled on coming 8th of September.. She is actually a teacher there.. Biology teacher if I'm not mistaken and last time we altogether climbed the Kinabalu under Matriculation trip.. As what she'd mentioned me before, there is an empty place to be filled because one of the participant just discharged form hospital and unable to join.. However, I replied her "X tau la kalu sa dapat pigi ni, busy ba".. The same boring and subjective reason given huh!! Hehe..

And just about a few minutes ago, she sms'ing me that the empty place is still available.. Rebutlah peluang selagi masih ada.. Wokey, as the decision is hardly to make, better list up all the advantages and disadvantages of climbing the mountain this time.. Back to the basic of Desicion Making..

ADVANTAGES:

1. Currently I've got 25 days of CUTI REHAT left in which I haven't plan on how to spend it.. Bagus ambil cuti naik gunung kan..
2. Leaving a job pressure and do some healthy activity is a good way for recuperation huh.. (Theoretically!!)
3. Meet new friends (I guess).. She told me that the sumandak that I'd met during a night out with her last time is also joining..

DISADVANTAGES:

1. As usual.. A lot of work need to be done yet a lot still pending.. The post mortem meeting for Surveillances Audit should be done within a month and sadly to say, I haven't fix the date and prepare anything yet..
2. As I have a problem on social skills, I may take times to mingle and get used with other participant especially the Guru-Guru.. kalu student no problemo.. I still have that 'student face and attitude' bah..
3. If I confirm join the trip, I have to prepare a lot.. Shoes, sweater, gloves, bag pack, topeng pencuri (Macam masih ada lagi sa simpan pula ni).. Duhh.. Malasnya.. And of course have to prepare physically and mentally.. Aisehleheh, macam la mau naik Everest pulak.. Wakaka..

Arggh, I'm again indecisive..

As to regain the spirit of climbing the Mount Kinabalu, I'd went through all the photos taken last time.. Zaman muda2 remaja dahulu kala.. Wah macam siok pula.. And I want to share the precious and valuable "Memory of Kinabalu" with ya..
