Last night before we had such a precious moment at Kem Botak, we are fortunate because the weather so great without strong wind. So we had a chance to stay a bit longer outside. At this point, about 2km closer to the space and above the clouds, i saw a thousand or more of stars clearly then normal. What i realized is, normally i can see the stars for direction for north-south-east-west. That night am feeling i can pick those stars and am surrounding by it. Having fish eye lens would be great to capture those moment. The sky totally dark and stars are very bright. Am feeling like in the space honestly.
05:15 : Around that time an alarm is on from the girl next of the tent. I not sure voice of who. But that voices sound like some one really in cold weather. Once i realized, they can’s sleep although they the 1st go in their tent. Its because they don’t have proper sleeping bag or their stuffs for bed got wet because of the weather on the 1st day. So guys, it’s really important to ensure our cloths and sleeping get dry all the time. Tips; have a proper rain cover for your bag and make sure covered your cloths and sleeping bag with black bin bag (good quality one) before packing in your bag. What happen to us on 1st day is, we had to pass our bag cross the river 1st because the water very strong, that what the important of bin bag!!!

06:10 : We are making steps further up for sunrise at the peak. Have proper head lamp for good walking. Thanks to the guys in front of me, i don't have head lamp that time. I can take picture in the dark because of my other mobile phone not my i phone, an old sony ericson is in duty for the rest of the journey till back the 1st point where we are started our journey. To be enjoy for taking pictures, please do have power bank. Am still ok because have two mobile phones and the battery last for 2days at least.

group photo, we need an evidence to get certificate. But they will check those stuffs we bring us once we arrive at the office. I thought all of us in this front, but one of us not in. What a lucky guy, had the highest toilet in Peninsular Malaysia. I need to try that one as well, lols. Now i realised the good thing about my old sony ericson. A self timer mode and i can stand it alone.

It’s only our group, what a lucky of us. We conquer all the space at Kem Botak. Do need to bother where to put our bags and stuffs. We just leave it on the rock’s floor. The most important thing we have the best place to set up our tents. That position was the best for tent, because on the other side is on the rock surfaces.
Ahh, i forgot to take picture of the source of our water at this camp. Btw please take care of the water source for next group. Don't mess it with rubbish etc.
Info : Only 4 groups from each entrance are allowed, one group limited for 12 persons with one guide. So where are lucky.
