Good Afternoon Blog,
I thought today would rain but eventually, Miss Sky had some other plan and let Mr Sun take over the day. Today hike, I should be bringing a new friend, Ga, for his first hike at Bukit Brown.
 |
| Check out the intensity of Mr Sun |
Well, since Ga was unable to go I shall go and explore that place myself.
 |
| In my previous Bukit Brown hike (link) two months ago, I explored the main zones, so today's hike will focus on other zones and my exploration of the two places below. |
 |
| Oh, dear... Mr Sun, are you going to be that intense the whole day? |
 |
| I guess I got your reply. :) |
 |
| I think I will be able to pull through with the heat |
 |
| I decided to reach Bukit Brown from another route |
 |
| I seldom walked under this flyover and walked past those RICH residences. |
|
| First time walking here, I guessed Mr Sun was happy too. At least walking here will have some shade than tied down with Mr Sun. |
 |
| Usually, I will only see this location whenever I take a bus elsewhere. Now first time experiencing and registering in this area. |
 |
| Hmmm... No other entrance if I took the usual way to Bukit Brown, so I spotted an opening here. |
|
| My adventure will start from this point onwards. |
 |
| oooo! Instead of going through an unknown opening, I found a wider opening here which leads to one of the zones of Bukit Brown. |
 |
| It seemed like someone tried to walk on this path before. |
|
| This cemetery seemed like having a "noon-nap" It... So quiet. |
 |
| After a short while, I approached the entrance to the other cemetery zones. |
|
| To the left or right... Yes, To the right path for today |
 |
| I shall get my camera on a tripod so that I can take pictures along the way |
 |
| Another quiet side of the cemetery |
 |
| Good afternoon plants here. |
|
| Pray my respect to the deceased |
 |
| Ah, a clearer map of the whole cemetery. Now I am at Green Zone. |
 |
| The trees here looked creepy and great idea for Halloween |
 |
| The path at zone 4 was quite short, Need to return to the main zone of Bukit Brown. |
 |
| No way to get to other zones from here. If anything happens here, will be dangerous hence no one will be able to save you. |
 |
| I doubt I can access through that door. |
 |
| Love the shelter by the expressway, cools me down a bit. |
 |
| Can you imagine if you decide to spend a night here, must have some BIG BALLS to do so. |
|
| Especially since there is no street light around here. |
 |
| You might even step on this poo here (looks like horse poo, because of the amount of fibre and nearby there is a place where they keep horses). |
 |
| Just bumped into a couple and it was awkward as they judged me from a distance, and I just had to ignore them and move on. |
 |
| Two paths - left or right? |
|
| Checking my Google map and decided to take the path to the right to another unexplored zone. |
|
| Yippee! Exploring new zone! |
 |
| Now I was at Purple Zone which can access Yellow Zone too. |
|
| A short walk and I was about to explore the quiet part of Yellow Zone. |
 |
| Really peaceful and a great place for a simple hike |
|
| My wild idea started to run, can became a crazy idea. |
 |
| Anyway, can't stay too long here and double my steps to the next zone. |
|
| What a short walk to the new zones |
 |
| Time to explore the unexplored area |
 |
| Should be around this area |
|
| Oooo! While I took a water break, I found something small moving. I sought an FB group to help (link) identify this creature's name, a Black Planthopper Nymph - Ricania Speculum. I just learned/hear the name of Planthopper. Hmmm... Plant Hopper belongs to the plant-feeders group which hop from plant to plant, like grasshopper. |
 |
| Luckily, can find the entrance easily. |
 |
| This is the place which got my interest. Oooo! Abandoned Car and a temple. |
|
| Okay, I was on the right path. |
 |
| Nice looking dried leaf here |
 |
| Just passed by a group of youngsters, yeah... Got judged by them... sigh... |
 |
| OH! Found the entrance of the temple! |
|
| Ooooo! Can see the temple up the hill. I believe it was a popular spot for the descendants to pay their respects. |
 |
| Let's go up and have a close look, shall we? |
|
| The simple temple serves its purpose. Temple cleared...where to find the abandoned car... |
 |
| I found some trail here |
 |
| Did you see the trail here? |
 |
| I guessed I might be on the right trek but I don't know what is ahead of me. |
|
| If I am not careful enough, I might step onto a grave/tomb here. So sorry for stepping on your tomb. |
|
| Wow! I managed to find the place which I had been looking for in the FB hiking group. Perfect wild idea! |
 |
| So many strangler roots here. |
 |
| A small stream was spotted and mosquitoes party house here! |
 |
| I had to cross it quickly. |
|
| Thank goodness the trail was quite clear which told me this place is visited often |
 |
| YIPPEE! ABANDONED CAR FOUND! |
 |
| The car was consumed by Nature. |
 |
| Let's hop on a good road trip! |
|
| Errr... Sorry, I forgot to clean the car so next time! |
 |
| I thought this was the only car... |
 |
| I found one more at a five-six meters away. |
 |
| This one seemed like half of a car. |
 |
| Great accomplishment for myself! |
 |
| After clearing the two objectives, I walked out and checked the area out. |
|
| I wondered if should I really explore the untouched areas here... |
 |
| Giant Bamboo spotted |
 |
| I guessed I would stop here |
 |
| My trail stopped by a stream |
|
| Spotted a beautiful philodendron here :) |
|
| And a big fallen tree. Wanted to take a picture with it but I just got tired... |
 |
| On my way back to the road, I bumped into a family who carried their offering to that temple, and they just judged me... Oh well... yeah I know, I am untoned and eye-sore... anyway, I guess time to return home and rest. |
 |
| Thank you for blessing me with a safe trip to Bukit Brown. |
Overall, it was a great trip and happy to find new things like an abandoned car and a temple. :) Feeling great!
Jeff
