  • Tahun 1994, second year at UKM, aku naik gunung ni bersama guide Pakcik Labie, masa tu ketinggian gunung ni 4101m, amat mencabar..sekali. First gunung aku daki dalam hidup aku...kmudian barulah gunung korbu, gunung bubu, gunung nuang dan lain@..tinggal memori sahaja. Tahun 2005 dan 2008 just datang kursus dan berjalan sahaja, kenangan di Tenom, Kemabong, Kuala Tomani, Kota Belud, Kem Lok Kawi...
