Quiet long time in this space (will i ever stop saying that..!!) I am in a fascinating land of nature called as Brunei. Here are some first hand information about Brunei before i move on....
- Incase if you got it wrong, Brunei is not a middle east country. It is very much is South East Asia next to East Malaysia in the Borneo land.
- The land is roughly 8 times bigger than Singapore. However, not even half of Singapore population is. You can imagine how beautiful the place will be.
- For people like me tired watching concrete jungles, Brunei is a welcome relief as the houses are well spaced and independent. The streets are still clean, the country over all is quiet safe and deftly nice place to live with family for a while but not much malls or hang outs like in Singapore
Here we go, this morning ive been on trekking with around a dozen of my work mates and it is sure a topic for me to scribble on... I have not been trekking for a while and i wasnt sure if i will be fit enough but it was a testing time for all the 3 hours when am climbing the mountain
The place was all nothing but pleasant in early morning with cold breeze and the climate is wet. Its quiet close to the airport in the capital city and the mountain stays as a perfect place for quick trekkers staying around.
We begun our walk around 8.15 am and it was not scary at all until we reached this steep path to climb mountain. We started feeling the heat gradually as sun rising.
We worked out hard to reach half way point and i was wondering should i really go. Man some points in life where you really feel like getting older and this is one good benchmark. Specially when you are with a group of young and strong dudes who feels working out is part of their everyday life.
The view points are quiet fabulous. I even felt its better than few i visited in Singapore like Sungei buloh, Pulau ubin. However, nothing can beat McRitchie reservoir in Singapore for the long lovely trail circumfrencing the reservoir.
The Empire hotel view from one of the view points really made me feel worth struggling :) I love this place so much. I should stay in the hotel for atleast a night for the sake of the lovely beach view atleast.
And finally, the group ive been with is just amazing. I am the newest addition and found excited to see quiet a few photgraphy enthusiasts too. Shame, i didnt carry my Nikkon D90 from Singapore and therefore i am forced to snatch these pics from other dudes camera.
