Island Club Road Path

Good Morning Blog,

ZN arrived yesterday and stayed overnight at my house to finish the game he had left unfinished and go on a hike.

I was thinking about today's whole-day event. I have to lead an activity for the elderly in the afternoon, assist with a class in the evening, and play badminton with my brother at night. What a long day.

So today's walk will be brief because, on one of my recent hikes in MacRitchie, I discovered a new route to Upper Peirce Reservoir and decided to try it.

Botanic Gardens Tyersall Gallop Extension

Good Morning Blog,

BP had been asking me to accompany him to the Botanic Garden's new zone for months because his girlfriend would be unable to explore with him. So I agreed to go because I had promised him.

What a great morning today.

Today's trip was a general and less detailed one; you should explore it yourself 😉

Rain and Shine

Hi Blog,

After recovering from an illness and being free this weekend, I thought to myself, "I should go for a hike."!

Looking through my new camera with a CPL filter lens, I observed that it rendered the sky in the photographs more vibrant.

I plan to keep it simple for my new "photographer" by hiking from my place to Bukit Timah, although I initially considered exploring other locations.

Short Night Hunt

Hi Blog,

Something short and random post for today. I've been considering keeping giant millipedes as pets lately. In fact, due to many reasons, I'm considering searching for them on my own.

So I got my torches ready and decided to go for a night hike like last time with ZN (link).

Due to their nocturnal activity, giant millipedes rarely occur during daytime hikes. My personal experience has been limited to only two sightings over several years of hiking.

Embracing My Imperfections

Hi Blog,

Today I decided to go for a short hike, a small me-time moment to do some reflection.

Today's weather was rather good and welcoming. Let's go hiking!

I've been doing some thinking lately, and I decided to write a not-unfamiliar content (even though my readers had already known and become numb with my nonsense). You may skip it if it isn't interesting.

Thomson Nature Park + Inner Thoughts

Good Morning Blog,

2023 was coming to an end, I thought of going for a short hike somewhere else to have some deep reflection. Extracted contents from my main blog page. This will not be focus on Thomson Nature Park, but rather having some self-reflection over something which in my head for a long time.

Clear weather which expressed how I felt today.

I will be expressing my thought process while hiking so it is a long-winded one.

Tanglin Halt Green

Good Morning Blog,

On my first day when I started to clear my leave, Ai wanted to go for a hike with me.

Today's morning was perfect for a hike!

I heard that this was Ai's first hike, so we started something simple, to hike along the green corridor.

Former CD Centre

Hi Blog,

Supposed to work hard weekend but I got a bit burned out due to some reasons that happened these days... I wanted to skip today's urbex trip but the organizer wasn't involved in my burnout so I will attend neutrally.

Today's weather seemed gloomy which explained how I felt these days... Anyway, so where was I heading to?

I felt that I should not put up any actual naming for that place yet, so for now, I will just keep it discreet as it should be.

Hempsey Hill Ruins

Hi Blog,

Last week, I came to Dempsey Hill to find the ruins which some hikers posted on Facebook but somehow... I got the wrong pin. (blog post) Then after consulting a few other hikers.

ZN texted me that he must step out hence he will join my today's exploration.

Back to the wrong pin, I guessed that the one who gave willingly did give me the right one but expected me to look around. As I watched LS's video, it seemed like it was there...

Finding the Rabbit Hole

Good morning Blog,

After my Saturday long-day event, I went home in the morning and caught a nap... Until noon...

The weather was so good that I should not just sleep throughout and since my emotions were still darkened yet, so...

Since I decided to explore only a little, this seemed doable based on the map...

Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit II

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.

Bukit Brown Cemetery Visit

Good Morning Blog,

Supposed to wait for Az to visit Bukit Brown... I guessed he is one typical example of those who cared GREAT interest and Keenness to hike together; very chatty and promising and right after our first hike to Keppel Reservoir, like other people - the chat just started dying off. Not that I will expect anything but it just triggered and sent me back to the abyss of how shxtty I am in person...

but anyway... Instead of sinking and continuing to nail myself into the coffin

I shall return to where and how I started, which is just me. I will just go alone!

UV Torchlight Test

Hi Blog,

Recently, I have been hunting for Infinity Stones (fluorescent minerals) online (and you can read more here) and as I recall I have an LED UV Torchlight which can light up the fluorescent property in the minerals. (click here to read more) But because my LED UV torch is too strong in a purple hue and I don't know its wavelength; based online, they claimed mine is a Long Wavelength UV torch.

But a Short Wavelength UV will be best for fluorescent minerals but it costs a bomb...

I got this from Shopee for $4. USB UV light torch. Sounds like a good deal.

But...

Tree Top Walk and Short Sunday Gathering

Hi Blog,

After the visit to USS on Saturday, It was already very tiring. Sunday morning I have a gathering to visit Tree Top Walk hosted by Huijun. 

It was nice of her for asking me for an outing, even though I had disgusted her greatly in any way... since I am not the right one. :) It is okay. Thanks for still treating me as friends. 

Meeting point

Tree Top Walk

Hey Blog,

This morning I decided to do a bit of walking MacRichite Reservoir and visited the Tree Top. It has been a while since my last visit. Getting my body to start working again and then rest awhile - so I woke up early morning to start my walk from Marymount Station.

And I have not been wearing my first Trisuit for a long time, now I am feeling awesome again even though I don't have an asset to show awesomeness. Well, who cares anyway...
