11 FEB 2012 SAT - My 1st Solo Trek [MacRitchie-RifleRange-BtTimah]

st not in town, so i trekked alone... frankly i struggled a bit in the morning, 'aiya alone not so safe to trek lor,...' lucky enough i managed to overcome the laziness :)

0856 starting point...

0924

0936, 0939

0956 at tree top walk 4.9km 59min [chatted with the uncle attendant for about 2min]

1046 at rifle range road 8.7km 1hr50min
circled in pink is the lady i spotted after the tree top walk... soon after here she stopped and asked me how soon she can reach the main road... she started at ard 7am with a few friends, they planned to RUN from bt timah to macritchie to bt timah... she got blister on her toes so the rest continued running while she walked alone... she finished all her 1-litre water... so i gave her some water...
we continued our walk and chat... she is from ipoh, working in s'pore...... she was so happy when she saw a taxi drove in BUT it's a on-call taxi... i told her not to worry, the taxi likely have to drive out from this road after picking up his passenger... so we continued walking...
soon we saw the taxi again... i helped her stopped the taxi... the driver is kind enough to stop and the passenger was so kind too, before i opened the door, he already moved in to the middle seat... so i told them the lady leg pain and asked if they could give her a lift to the main road... then take care...bye... she's off...
hope she is well now :)

1138 bt timah nature reserve 13.2km 2hr42min [at this point i was very exhausted already! however i continued to trek up to bt timah summit after refilling water from the cooler at the visitor centre]

1149 this pic!!! hahaha i was so giddy that i just sat on the road side... in order not to attract attention i pretended taking pic lah, right after i held my head down to cure the giddiness... btw my position here was somewhere in the middle of the vistor centre and the first hut (keruing hut)... i applied some 白花油 (medicated oil) on my nostrils and forehead, then i continued... took a break at the keruing hut... continued to up up again...

1206 at the 2nd hut (simpang hut)... lying flat...

1219 at bukit timah summit 15.4km 3hr22min
hahaha... the above 3 pics so blur hor... well depicted my giddiness then???

1229 ready to descend...
for the first time i took a break while descending!!! stopped by at keruing hut...

1249 at bukit timah nature park vistor centre 16.8km 3hr53min.... obviously i was not very well still... 16.8km instead of what i facebooked 16.3km... btw i sat on the stone for a while before leaving...

i sat down again... on the stairs of the overhead bridge to beauty world centre... head held down.... then headed to Mc... quite long queue lor... queued for about 10min before i got my ICED-MILO NO ICE!!!... i held my head down while waiting for my milo... guess i will faint if i were to wait for another minute... HENG ah!!! 
haha my guess was right... low sugar level!!!... i do not have the habit of taking breakfast before trek lor... i am FINE after i finished the medium size ICED-MILO NO ICE :)
