We wake up early this morning. Pack all our stuff and food. We bring 2 small backpacks. Diyana brings one backpack with only food inside and I brings all the others stuff..sweaters, long sleeves shirts, winter gloves, head lights, raincoats and also a cup cake for Diyana’s birthday. I also bring a pouch bag to put my digital camera & handycam.

7.30am – We go to Sutera Santuary Office to get our guide. Our guide’s name is William Apin. He is the one that will take care of us and that will give confirmation to the office whether we really arrive at the summit or not for certification purpose. For identification of every climbers, we have been given a tag with a group number. My tag number is AC09 (1) & Diyana gets AC09 (2).

Then, we need to check-out from our room at Peak Lodge. If you have any bags, you can keep it at their office for RM10 per bag. However, since we have a rental car with us, so we just keep it in our car boot and leave the car parked in front of our lodge.

At this moment, we need to decide on which route to the peak that we prefer, Timpohon – Summit – Timpohon or Mesilau – Summit – Mesilau. Since Timpohon route is easier and faster, we choose Timpohon route.

To get to Timpohon Gate, we also need to decide either we would like to use shuttle bus or by walking. Since we don’t want to get tired before its really starting…so we just pay RM30 for shuttle bus. ( RM15 per person ).

8.00am – We arrive at Timpohon Gate. There is a shop at this gate selling food for lunch. We already bring our own food, so we aren’t buy anything there.

8.05am – Our mission begin….
