coincidentally we were both a bit late today...
we covered [the pink route, distance 9.5km, approx walking time 4-5 hours, trail grade difficult ==> H A B C E F I Bukit Timah Nature Reserve] ==> we took about 3 hours and we dun find this route as difficult as it sounds...wow walk from MacRitchie to Bukit Timah... sounds so tough lor... in fact we feel that the blue route [tree top walk] is more difficult than this pink route [to bt timah] :)
0847 @A
0937 @B [about 2.5km]
0950 @C
1004 @F
1011 out of nowhere got this hut? dunno what's this for?
1013
1018 another 5.3km to bukit timah nature reserve
1019
1022 four foreign workers cutting leaves and branches with grass-cutter here [not so safe for lady to trek alone along this route, not many people doing (running or trekking) this route]
1025 so far we covered 6km in 1hr 40min [from 0847 till now 1025]... the elderly couple on the right 'yong' hor
1027
1030 this route got lots of this kind of 'covered wells'... saw an angmoh with his partner [his partner not angmoh so i cannot just say the angmoh couple] using one of such as table top to put water bottle and sandwich box :)
1033 @I... the metal barrier-fencing rather high [for my height la lol] and the gap rather narrow... i jokingly told st 'aiya i cannot pass through la' then i climbed a small step to pass through the narrow gap... that angmoh [i mentioned above seeing him using the 'covered well' as table top] was just behind me, saw my trekking boots, said something like 'oh you have this type of shoes... very good'... as i turned back, wanting to share with him about the 'goodness' of the shoes, i saw him squeezing through the gap without climbing like me but somehow had to 'pull up' his belly a bit... i commented 'oh you are 'slimmer' than me hahaha... and he said 'oh i don't mean to embarrass you.... muahaha... we all had a good laugh...
1033 on the right of above pic
1038 that is that angmoh with his partner
1041 we covered 7km in about 2hrs [from 0847 till now 1041]
1044 near BKE, can hear the busy-expressway-noise here
1049 along rifle range flyover... see the icon of bukit timah hill in the middle [the radio towers]... also got captured the grass-cutting worker on the left of the pic
1049 along rifle range flyover... on the right of above pic
1049 us along rifle range flyover...
1050 view of bke from rifle range flyover... i have been traveling along this bke for so long, go town, go airport, go TPY, Bugis, MacRitchie,... sure take this bke... today for the first time i see this bke from high :)
1054 after rifle range flyover... see the icon of bukit timah hill in the middle [the radio towers]...
1055
1057 um... rather mis-leading here
1057 at left of above pic... that angmoh & partner were standing around here... flipping through a booklet... we 'eye-contact'... i told him we are heading to bukit timah nature reserve... they too...
he said 'follow us then'
i said 'blind leading the blind'
muahaha we had a good laugh again
1058 a mr handsome jogger [a local] jogged by, i asked him which way to bukit timah hill... he so kind, stopped and asked us to continue trekking along the 'orr-yew-lor'... up slope then down slope then before t-junction turn in from right, got sign board there... wow he must be a regular jogger... not panting lor and can still give clear and precise direction in clear and stable voice :)
1101
1102 st answered an incoming call and we somehow slowed down... the angmoh & partner overtook us and soon we cannot see them
1102
1110
1117 i saw the angmoh's partner standing around this board, i waved at her and she waved back... then i saw the angmoh, again i waved at him and he waved back, then they turned in and continued... soon we reached this board
1124 another 0.5km to bukit timah nature reserve visitor centre
1126 we just 'down'ed' this...so shiok!... can imagine how the 2 cyclists, that we saw a while ago, tediously 'up'ed' this lol
1128
1130 we came out from here... that angmoh &partner were 'waiting' for us... i pointed to him the direction to bukit timah nature reserve visitor centre... he asked if i am sure... told him i used to 'climb' bukit timah hill... haha he said they were waiting for us and asked 'isn't it nice to have someone waiting for you' hahaha i replied 'ya having someone waiting for us make us feel WARM'... muahaha we had a laugh again... we parted here ;)
[it is always nice to communicate with someone with the same telepathy, need not talk much, just 'short and sweet' and we can 'catch the meaning' and we ended with lots of good laugh... i dun even know his name... each time total we talked not more than 3 sentences each but each time we ended with a good laugh :)]
1150 we had our lunch at beauty world centre
today i wore the new trekking sock that i bought via gmarket... the 3 pairs S$10 + S$3 postage... cheap and good :)
gmarket got state color by random but i still put a remark that i want blue, pink and red...
... :( my request not being 'entertained', the seller sent me black, red, red
