The Hike@Panorama Hill

On 14th May 2009, I woke up at 3.50am after 3 hours of sleep to drive to PANORAMA HILL, Sg. Lembing.

After packing my stuff, I left my house in a very high spirit to pick Clement, Chee Tat, Anna and Jerry up. Halfway through, the fog was quite bad and it blurred up the road ahead and Anna kept repeating" slowly wei, slowly la, slowly............" although I was driving at 30km/h. The cows were quite a nuisance as some of them were sleeping in the middle of the road until I flashed my lights at them and they moved slowly to the side of the road.

We reached our destination, Sg. Lembing after 45 minutes. Sg. Lembing town was in dead silence except for a few aunties who were at the market. We proceed to the foot of the hill. Before we started, Chee Tat smoked his 'power' stick to enhance his energy. And then, we started going up the hill. After climbing up a flight of stairs, we had our first pit stop due to Anna & Chee Tat's 'breathing difficulties'.

pit stop : Cle attending to both Chee Tat & Anna

We continued our hike after she got her breath back.haha.

Finally after 30 minutes, we reached the peak of Panorama Hill. There were around 30 people gathered up there with their Slr's mounted on the tripods waiting to capture the rising of the sun. We had 2 photographers among us too, credits to Anna & Jerry.

After a while, we started taking pics on the other side. The morning mist was awesome, it was like looking at a picture and being in it at the same time.

"Are we .. dreaming?"

Ah, it was just simply breath-taking.
Some random people-shots.

Since there was nothing much to do, we decided that it was time for us to leave and headed to the market to savour their famous noodles and tofu said to be made using water from the mountains. I'm definitely coming back again next time.

Till then!
