The Mountain Biang
Sungei Biang or Just Mount Biang. The Highest Mountain MOuntain in Brunei at about 1100+m above sea level.
Impressive eh? Well I got to climb it..... Poor Unconditioned me.
On the 7th, July 2004, I started on my excerise but I only started on Biang on 8th, July 2004.
I flew in on a helicopter to the foot of that Mountain and that's where it all began. An adventure for me.
Actually Mt. Biang wasn't that bad, I was doing pretty good until I came upon the 'Stairways to heaven'. It
truely was a stairways to heaven where the physically unfit would have problems going up.It is in esscence a series of roughly hewn stone on a very steep face of the mountain simply described. Now along the way,
I saw many plants and animals one normally wouldn't see in Singapore.
Insects made up alot of the animals catergory but the closest encounter I had was when I inadverntly was unaware of a viper just beside my heel behind me. I escaped unscathed fortunately.
Along up the trail I heard Wild Maquees Monkeys and also I saw the famed "Tong Kat Ali",
a plant reputed to be Nature's Viagra. Truely for the conditioned Biang isn't a problem but when I went up I was unfortunately not very physically well conditioned but hey I came up and I came back down and to me that's an achievement well worth the effort. Of course count in the fact I may be going back up a few more times. :)...:(
Till then wait for more news........
