><))o> hiking
#Went hiking with my bf...we had planned to meet at 7am but he screw the morning up by arriving only at 7.40am...and afterwhich, i screw the day up by alighting 3 bus stops earlier...in the end, before we even started hiking, we had to journey 3 bus stops to the entry of the hill. Upon reaching the entry pt, i can feel excitment inside me like a six year old who cannot wait to go to the playground. Along the way, i saw a very cute sign board cautioning the hikers not to feed the monkeys.
For your information, the fine for feeding the monkeys is $10,000!! Looks like its better to keep those bananas to myself....
#My bf and i have no particular perferance as to which trail to take so we randomly chose a trail and along the way, switch to another trail. There is two types of trail, one is like a wide road which is easy to hike but boring and another type is a narrower trail which is formed mainly by steps...it was defintely more adventrous hiking on these trails but it was extrememly tiring to scale up the steps.Along the way, i discovered a long stretch of ants matching in an army-liked manner. Curiosity got the better of me and i got a closer look to uncover the mystery of how the ants actually stayed in the line. To my surprise, i saw ants acting as guards along the path, defining the path for the ants to march. Nature just amazes and fascinates me! Finally after about an hour of hiking, my bf and i reached the submit. It wasn't really much of a submit...the catchment areas are hidden by the trees which is as good as eliminating all breath-taking views...below are two pictures which i took at the submit...
#After resting and munching on kaya buns, we headed down the
submit trail and went up to another submit...this time round, we got slightly lucky and among the trees, there was a tiny opening which allowed us to catch a glimps of the earth below...
#We admired the view for a while and made our way down...just before leaving the submit, i saw a spider...so i took a picture of it...it looks big but it is actually quite small...
#We went to the exhibition centre and i took a picture of this tiger.
The tiger is donated by Mr and Mrs Ha Khie Njoke. It was one of the four man-eating tigers shot in Sumatra in the late 1960s. Tigers often swam across the Straits of Johor to Singapore to breed, especially at Bukit Timah Hill and Chagni Jungle.
#Had lunch at Beauty World and went home feeling exhausted!
