Hi Blog,
Today was the day when K, one of my ex-pupils from PV willingly hiked with me. I have to mention this because initially there were four pupils who wanted to go on a hiking trip with me. But due to their busy schedule... three of them can't turn up... K who is one of the quiet ones whom I knew since primary school, was actually determined to go on the hike and felt bad if he backup due to lack of accompanies... His moves were much appreciated. :)
 |
| Nice cool weather today |
After a long travelling distance for K from Seng Kang to Marymount, he still made it in time before me. Hahaha... My apology... K that I was late.
 |
| Getting ready and spent some time on selfies XD |
Okay! Let's go!
=================================================
MacRitchie Nature Trail
 |
| This is K - our humble pupil |
 |
| I told him that I wanted to spin some poke stops due to the night encounter, and he didn't mind. |
 |
| Funny thing was that we took down gym together! |
 |
| I was shocked to learnt that he is from Team Instinct too?! hahaha |
 |
| Taking pictures with my new camera |
While hiking, we had a bit of talking... K will take some time to warm up himself, so I did the talking for some time... Thirsty... Hahahah
=================================================
Tree Top Walk
I also found out that he had not been to Tree Top before, so I brought him to experience Tree Top. :)
 |
| Tree top entrance selfie! |
 |
| With my new camera, I can take wide nice personal pictures well! |
 |
| I also love despite wide-angle lens, which doesn't distort the overall pic! |
 |
| We were lucky enough to walk this bridge when there wasn't any crowd. |
 |
| Really have fun with Ex-FR100! |
 |
| Looking down from the bridge... Scary.... |
 |
| Without any object around to show the horizon of this scene... But it is so beautiful. |
 |
| I really love that we won't need to rush to complete the walk on the bridge. |
 |
| K just stood there still for a selfie. |
========================================================
Rifle Range Link/Road
Now we headed up to Bukit Timah!
 |
| Another quiet trail here :) Lovely |
 |
| Thanks K for being non-judgmental and willing to take pictures with me. |
 |
| HELLO! WE MET AGAIN! |
 |
| Our long long journey ahead on the road. Look at our tired faces. |
=====================================================
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
K found the route up to the summit, is an ideal route to train himself. He claimed he will come back for training himself. :) I am glad that someone can be benefited from this trip :)
 |
Come! Kavan, let's take a picture together!
Check out the tower. |
 |
| Success! |
 |
| Are we ready to go down? |
 |
| K had enough of taking pictures... LOL |
======================================================
Caught a Rare Pokemon
While hiking, I had my Pokemon Go app active together with a health tracking app, and also to hatch eggs. I noticed a weird shape on Pokemon Go sighting....
 |
| SNORLAX WAS IN MY SIGHTING! |
 |
| OH! MY! |
 |
| It has a low CP....... I will rename it as SnorKavan. :) Feeling lucky :D |
 |
have you noticed my phone battery life?
I should bring my power bank for this kind of walk.... |
 |
I have no choice but to stop the health tracking app...
The actual total distance we covered roughly 24km within 6 hours... |
 |
| Found an active Earthworm in the open... So sorry that I can't save every single one.... |
 |
| some insects checking us out. :) |
==================================================
Rail Way
Everything was K's first time experience, even this railway. He was excited. :D
 |
| Let's take a picture together! |
 |
| Helping K to get his picture :) |
Oh dear.... my camera didn't click in properly and it dropped onto rocks... And caused a dent in its lens...
Well.... the picture quality and functionality still working well and the dent didn't cause any blurriness on the picture. Thanks God for not giving me a difficult outcome.
================================================
Singapore Quarry
Visiting Singapore Quarry is always my favourite experience for seeing the simple and nice quarry structure.
 |
| Good Afternoon Quarry! |
 |
| Take out my camera here :) |
 |
| My sweat attacked my left eye.... |
 |
| Good bye Quarry... :) Selfie with you! See you! |
====================================================
Going Back to Beauty World
Total walk was 6+ hours, our tired face explained the tiredness and joy we had :)
 |
| Hahaha Come on K, let's go and have lunch now. |
 |
| Waiting for lunch... so hungry... |
 |
| Wearing trisuit in a coffee shop, I heck care how others looked at me. |
 |
| Nice delicious meal :) |
Today was a fruitful trip. A good walk and a good chat with a stranger. I allowed an auntie to share the table for a meal. Learning from one another - her regular workout at Bukit Timah without fail, a chance to share with her my vegetarian experience and a bit of my lifestyle. :) 結緣結緣。
=====================================================
Fungus Hunting
While hiking, finding mushrooms also part of an interesting hobby that I just started. Just love the colour and erected "fruit" of nature amazing living things.
 |
| Not fungus |
Beautiful mushrooms and one of my BEST collections for the hike so far. :) Hope you enjoy!
