Last nite Tracy asked if I wanna go hiking with her to the oldest Indian Temple near Matang, since i had no plans n haven been hiking for quite some time, I agreed. Now tat i think about it, the last time i went hiking was at Mt Kinabalu! OMG, tat was almost a year ago!

Around 9am Tracy fetch me n we went to yeow kee (if not wrong) at 101 premier, there was so many ppl there! we waited almost 15 minutes for a table...

But the food there was quite nice, I ordered tis rice ball(?) from a cute little girl, it taste good~

And the toast is super nice! it was baked using chacoal, they cut open juz one piece of toast for kaya n butter, gotta try it if u're near by! seems like a nice breakfast huh~

So after the breakfast we began our journey~

The temple is at Mt Mike, go straight along the matang jaya road, n turn left after u see a small "Mt Mike" sign on the left, juz as u cross a bridge. The hike to the temple is about 1 hour, depends on you spead of coz. It's 2860m according to the sign at the entrance, it's not too steep, more of jungle trekking than hiking actually, haha.

The view along the way was great, it's really been quite some time since i was really in a green environment, the weather was juz nice too, juz after the rain, the sun was not too hot. Tracy picked up some "grass" n say it's their toy when she was small, but i really hav no memory seeing those anywhere, mayb times were different then :-p n we saw tis giant milipede!! really super duper big! too bad half of it was already hiding when i snap the pic...

When we reach the top we pray a bit at the temple and was bless(?) by the pastor(?) anyway, a little history about the temple, it was built in the 1860's when Sir Charles Brooke (yea, the white Rajah) decided to start a tea plantation there, and was rediscovered in 1967, now they are trying to renovate the temple. The temple is much much smaller n simpler than i tot, but, the new one, which is still under renovation, is going to be a great one, the cravings are really nice, but i heard they're short of budget, so no idea when it's gonna complete... the "pastor" came from Madras, India, really had a hard time trying to communicate with him...

Soon the sky came dark n seems like it was going to rain, so we quickly headed down, half way it rained a bit, but luckily not too heavy. After the hike Tracy n me went to e-mart, it was my frist time there~

Had our lunch there, n we shopped around a bit

Found these really cute slippers~

But I din buy any :-p n before we leave I bought some N51 mask for my Bromo trip, gotta take precaution...
