Just want to share with you all about the 3D work that he had been working for because I'm impressed!
I'm actually kind of computer-thicko when it comes to all these software related programming.
Hehe!
Climbing up an almost vertical slope by pulling the rope back to back, in the totally dark situation. The only light of source was from our own headlamp. Along the route was a series of man-made wooden ladders, some tree roots and branches. As we ascending up, the air was getting thinner and colder, these really make the trekking much more physically and even mentally challenging. After one hour plus of hiking, we reached the Sayat-sayat check point at 3668m for registration. We have to show our name tag in case we get lost in the mountain. From there, the trekking was getting tougher and my legs were getting heavier. Each step taken was effortful. The journey continued with steepy slippery silver black rocks, I counted every 10 steps, and rested to catch a lungful of Oxygen. It was really tough.
My devil-mind told me to surrender, it's enough to suffer my own body. But my angel-mind said, just keep going, it's just 1/2 km away and you can do it!
Ahhh.... The breathtaking breaking of dawn with the velvet sky.
We finally made it!!!! 
The tour guide did mention explicitly that we have to reach the low's peak at least 5 minutes before 6am to catch a glimpse of dawn. And I could see the sunrise from the halfway of the low's peak! I was a bit late, late for like 10 minutes to the low's peak. Arghhhh.... Wasted!
From where I was standing at the top of the Low's peak, I could see the grey granite slabs stretch endlessly deep down and it was like 90 degree of slanting line.
Behind was St. John's Peak (4090.7m).
This was something extra-ordinary that I have never seen before. On top of the opposite peak, there appeared the almost full-circle of rainbow in the middle of the mist. According to a Taiwanese climber on the spot, they called it as "kuan yin circle".
At 6.45am, the morning fog seemed like going to blanket the view of the surroundings and we all decided it's time to head down.
With our guide (and also porter) at the mark of 8.5km.
Could you notice the white lines on the rock? It is so-called the aplite dyke.
Good shoes bring you to good places, indeed, I believe so!
We were actually having fun playing around with the
With the 2 cute little native guide whom brought us all the way up to the summit.
It was really cold and breezy up there.
Descending down from the plateau of Mount Kinabalu with clear blue sky.
Pitstop: Ribena, the hiker's energy booster!
The 8km mark with South peak at the background.
Tell you what, I was wearing multi-layers of clothing. I was really fear of cold. Even I couldn't stand like Genting that kind of weather.
We were taking our own sweet time to really feel the fresh air and the wind-blowing on our face.
With the sun beaming in our eyes......
Sitting at summit plateau.
The Donkey's Ears Peak was covered by the think fog. 
At last, 7 of us got into the picture at Sayat-sayat hut. We are the climber!!!
Kundasang small town at the backgroud.
At some point, I was totally clueless about how I got up from here?
Getting down carefully from the precipitous cliff by holding tightly of the rope.
Awwwwww.....
Some weird-looking leafless tree.
Heading down and it's getting hotter as the sun rised.
It was quite scary when you look all the way down from the wooden staircase. 
The green hut was Guntung lagadan, where we'd stayed the previous night.
No. 001 to 007
My sore legs, it was torturing!
I've got the color certificate! And my dream come true! 
Half-backward bending
How I wish I could be like this, the-super-nanny when I'm old and strong enough like her!!!!
But I wasn't regret a single bit! I've conquered the highest peak of SEA, mount kinabalu!
I've made a To-Bring-List before I heading to KK:
We stayed at a backpacker hotel, Lavender Lounge, costed us RM22 per night. It's kinda cozy and homey, suitable for a bunch of friends or even family to stay. And it's located at the heart of Kota Kinabalu town.
Total 7 of us (my secondary school's best pals) departed to the Mesilau check point.
0815AM
Reached Mesilau check point, an alternative route to climb Mount Kinabalu apart from the Timpohon gate (Summit trail).
Useless-warming-up and stretching before ascending up, but end up Chee Eng (middle) got sprained his ankles, LOL.
The walking sticks are available upon checking-in. RM 5 each and it's quite handy. Meanwhile, we paid for the porterage of RM9 per 1KG and our stuff was weighed around 15KG in total. It was worth every penny as we just need to carry our necessities like water, energy bar, raincoat and light jacket. Just keep your bag pack as light as possible for a more pleasant journey.
Groupie picture before we actually start our journey, 8km away from Laban Rata (3273m mid-summit).
Here we go.....
Only 1KM, I already felt tired! Help!
Scenic botany along the way.
Refreshing sound from the waterfall.
Scenery along the way was fantastic! Mesialu trail definitely offers more opportunities for viewing beautiful flora and fauna.
While waiting for others to go to restroom...
Do some yoga pose, LOL! Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose.
Yang and me of course.
Some dead pitcher plant.
Edible or poisonous mushroom?
My macro shot with a patch of greenery.
Cutie little beads.
Finally it's lunch time after 3.5km of trekking. Phew! Our lunch box that included in the package. I was really straving that time but can't manage to finish up, I guess I was way too tired and struggling with my determination.
It was more reviving after a short break at the pondok. And the vegetation was a bit different. The climate was humid and chilly as we ascending up, hands got cold easily.
It started to drizzle right after our lunch break.
Five of us were happily snaping in the middle of the fine drops pour.
Gotcha! I was searching for a real live pitcher plant, it was pretty and huge relative to what I have seen.
We reached at the Layang-layang (Place of Swallows) point, is where the Mesilau Trail meets the Kinabalu Summit Trail (Timpohon) at 2,740m.
Distinct type of flower plants.
The trek goes on and on, another 2KM seems like never ending. Up hill again we saw the muddy steep rock and that was a tough one.
The vegetation zone is so special, it's like a forest of bent and twisted silvery trunks and you can really notice the rockery hill.
We rested every 10 to 20 steps as it's getting difficult for us after 6 hours of climbing. Exhausted!
But I won't give up so easily! I was still in high spirit!
Wow, such a magnificent view from top.
Finally, I've reached mid-summit (Laban rata).
The only restaurant at the mid-summit and we managed to catch our dinner before heading to Gunting Lagadan Hut, our resthouse.
Sun-setting and here's the end of the day of trekking.
