kolo mee - the best breakfast itinerary
Our travel log started with breakfast at Batu Kawah old township famous meatballs kolo mee stall. We gathered there to fill our empty Kuchingites tummy with one of the best kolo mee in town (literally in suburb). Then we continued driving to our destination

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, we were greeted by our very own multi-legged friend.

Get out of my way
We started our climb at approximately 9:45am. Weather was perfect!

Heh-ho, heh-ho~~~
There were stations with a cross under a shelter for Christians and believers to stop and reflect with prayers. But I was too busy snapping photos of the sexy mother nature.

and after bout 35 minutes, we came to a plateau where the shrine of Mother Mary stands.

I said a simple prayer before embarking on the REAL journey.

Into the forest
The climb overall wasn't that challenging. I feel that being close to nature is my greatest reward on this trip. Imagine when people around the world are chanting about environment issues like global warming, green house effects, changing of climate across the globe, ozone thinning, deforestation etc. I am proud that we in Sarawak still have plenty of places of nature to go to.

Allen fell in love with the trees...and hugged them.

And after 2 hours of hiking (with a lot of breathers in between :Þ) we finally made it to the top of Mt. Singai.

Recharging batteries
We took a rest for about half an hour and descended using the same path after that. Going down was much easier compared to going up, but still there were parts of the trail where it was tricky and vertical. We reached the foot of the mountain at about 2pm and drove straight for food.
I need a massage!
Note: Some of the pics here are taken by Allen. Thanks bro!
