Terima kasih for this climb. You took me with you up on Mt. Kinabalu. Being afraid of height I will never climb it myself but now I can feel the climb through your journey.
I climbed Mount Kinabalu in 1986 & 1987. I was 14 & 15 then, now I'm 50, I don't think I can do it again but anyway congratulations Alwin you did it. You are a nice person, God bless you.

my late father went back to mount kinabalu in his 50 after a failed attempt due to me and my mother got altitude sickness (me being the worst as i was unfortunately a heavy smoker 30 yrs ago), He succeeded to the peak and got the colored certificate ^^ . You can do it too , just make sure to atleast start hiking lower trail first( for a few month) to get back the stamina.

I climbed twice back in '88 & '90 and I always wanted to climb again. However, after my heart attack I don't think I will climb Mt. Kinabalu again. Also being in my fifties now.

Many people age above 65 have climbed Kinabalu successfully. i climbed when I was 38. I was having flu/fever and was rather slow. A man in his 70 was much faster than me.
Im johorean born living in Kota Kinabalu for 23years. Climbed and conquered Mt. Kinabalu on year 2k and got the special millennium certificate. It's a challenge and mind over body. When your body is damn tired and about to break but your mind say let's go. You can achieve great things!!
I'm sabahan and have not climb the mountain yet. One day for sure, but I'm still not fit enough 😭😭. Anyways, thank you for sharing your experiences, your thoughts, your feelings, your positivity, it's contagious and very endearing ❤️❤️ I loved every moment of the climb and especially the little squirrel that almost stowed away in your bag 🤣🤣 The view must've been unreal in person, the sunrise, the color of the sky, the clouds, breathtaking, that's exactly the reason sabah is called "The Land Below The Wind", the mountain is amongst the wind and we live below the clouds. It was definitely a fun and inspiring video, looking forward to more ✨✨

Tinggi tinggi gunung kinabalu tinggi lagi sayang sama kamu, biru-biru hujung kinabalu tengok dari jauh, hati saya rindu.. congrats Avin..when you play with the squirrel it reminds me of Alvin and the Chipmunks...hope you reach 100k subscriber just like you made it to the top.

Congratulations alwin. I'm glad you experienced a lot of special moments in Malaysia. I hope one day, when you look back to your days as a traveler, Malaysia will be at the top of your greatest memories. I've watched most of your vids and here I am finally commenting in one cause I am totally inspired 😊
Love the video…journey all the way to the top..i can feel the mentally pressure and tiredness..congratulation you are awesome..👍👍
Congrats and thank you Alwin for sharing with us ur journey.. I am not that fit to climb Mount Kinabalu but ur video make me feel I was there.. seeing u reach the top is very satisfying and sentimental..
thanks, Alwin for bringing us along on the journey to the top of Mount KK. I will never have the chance to climb mountains or do anything physical since being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that kills my muscles and nerves. but I could live thru that experience with videos from people like you sharing it with all of us. thank you so much.
Congratulations Alwin! By far, the best video u hv ever shared
Thank you for bringing me together. Not just showing us the top of the mountain, but climbing through it too. Because I could never do it myself due to my health condition. Seeing how the nature changed around you based on the height, making it looked like you're entering different world. Love the whole adventure. 💜
A huge congrats to you Alwin.. You did a superb job in sharing almost every step of your journey to the top of Aki Nabalu ie Mount Kinabalu. It feels like I'm climbing together with you & Nai.. I climbed Aki last year. I shed tears of happiness and said a prayer too when I reached Low's Peak at about 530am. I can feel your amazing satisfaction of reaching the Peak and thanks for proudly displaying the Malaysian flag.. You were so lucky to witness the gorgeous sunrise. It's a mesmerizing view indeed! I'm looking forward to our next climb in April.. Keep up the great work in sharing your vblog! Take good care and enjoy your stay in Sabah Alwin! God bless 🙏
Tahniah bah!!! You've made it...I really love all those beautiful moment you've share...and there is one more special thing I respect of you, instead of being motivated by your Sabahan friend but you motivate him 😁...good job 👍👍👍.
Thanks a bunch guys, for this awesome vlog 😆. Now the world can see how beautiful and majestic Mount Kinabalu in Sabah is ⛰️. Great job! 💪
Congratulation Alwin.. 🎊🎉💝Nice video.. Masya Allah nice view of Mount Kinabalu 👍

Congratulations alwin. Such a great energy you have able filming video at same time hiking. For me my energy drain with altitude sickness can't even snap a lot of picture. I just have a few photos my experience hiking the mountain kinabalu 10 years ago..the rest remains as memories in my heart.
Of all your videos, so far, this is the most inspiring and motivational. Good job.
it felt like we're going through the journey with you and when you reached the top, we kind of feel the special moment too. the view at the top was absolutely stunning too. i don't think i'm healthy enough to do this so thank you very much for sharing this moment with us. this video is perfect ❤

Congratulations Alwin for conquering Mt Kinabalu 👏👏❤ and thank you for your video of your climb up to the top.
