Preparing for Mount Kinabalu Trip

FACTS:
Mount Kinabalu is the fourth tallest mountain in Southeast asia (4,095 meters). It is located in Kinabalu National Park (a World Heritage Site) in the east Malaysian state of Sabah, which is on the island of Borneo in the tropics.


Finally, the Mount Kinabalu trip is going well as planned our plane tickets are booked, guide and accomodation is settled, so now I just need to train to be fit to climb and some last minute shopping with the guys. I am really excited that finally one bucket list will be crossed out "climb Mount Kinabalu" check. And will get to spend time with my housemate. I will post about this trip soon.

Https keeps your mail encrypted as it travels between your web browser and Gmail servers.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary."

"Impossible is nothing."
