Mount Faber - Singapore

I used do my morning walk (it is still not proper jogging :-) ) to Mount Faber in weekends. It is really nice place and suitable for that as well. And it is another important place for people to visit also.

Mount Faber is a hill 105 meters height and can have nice view from top, one side city and other side harbour front. I have took few shots during my visits and will upload here. And people wish to go Senthosa. They could come either here or harbour front and take cable car to make their trip enjoyable.
