After a super horrible n frustrating day yest, the hiking trip today made up for the bad day yest.. Yest was just the day where everything that could go wrong went wrong... haiz... super suay...

I am super bo-liao now so i am doing this super long ultra stupid entry...



so early morning, me and see set off for the HSBC tree top walk and we planned to trek all the way over to bukit timah! sounds so exciting right? We started off from venus road carpark and this portion of the trekking route is a very easy route. Soon, we started walking into the forest and we reached the treetop in a short amount of time. i think we took less than 1 hour. My first time as the HSBC walk, so initially i expected it to be quite grand or something. Was actually rather disappointed at the walk. It isn't that close to vegetation and the stretch is actually very short. One could just spend like less than 5 minutes on the bridge. It is really the trek to the bridge that is much more fun..







view from the top...


us cam-whoring at the bridge..


more cam-whoring frm me...


so after the treetop walk, we continued on to bukit timah nature reserve. down the long flight of stairs...


the rifle range road is OVER THERE!


At certain parts, it is really trekking through forest, climbing up steep slopes and over barriers.



and across BKE

Decided to cam-whore again....

and ah tee followed me..

We had to jump down to get to our next destination ....


You jump, i jump too....


walked past some stretch of road with some bungalow that seems to be occupied...

decided to go for some shooting.....

ah tee followed me... he is firing a revolver..

the final stretch of path leading out of the forest to bukit timah nature reserve

and a path to welcome us!



satisfied pose..


We wanted to wait for the 2 dogs behind us to appear from the forest, so while waiting, i took a picture of the monkeys.. too bad the dogs didn't appear again... maybe they got lost with their owners??

Finally, a much needed Milo Dinosaur!!!

I feel so like xiaxue when doing the above entry. I should have spent the amount of time doing this on other stuff, like studying. such out of the norm trip should be done once in a while to keep myself sane..

and oh. i must mention this. me and tee saw 陈泉隆老师 at a coffeeshop in clementi and he still remembers our name! it has been like 7 years since he last taught me and he still remembers who i am and which class i am in! wow! super impressed! congrats to him as he just became a father! 看见陈老师,我似乎有一种说不出的亲切感. 我们也聊起了一些立化的近况。确实蛮怀念以前中一中二的日子。
