my fav picture! *feeling proud* hee.

taken from the cement ground! so preettyy! (:

yes siti, fungi.


and there was this point where we diverged from the intended path, and actually made our walk through this perilous pathment along the rapids right beside our feet! it was almost like one wrong footing and there you (really) go. landed at the supposed area where it's been closed due to some landslide that recently happened? or maybe not. but in any case, we reached the place near the perimeters of the live firing area and so we couldn't move on. dead end. then we heard a gun shot! *gasps*

turned around. walked back down that precarious lane and for a moment we were kinda lost. and so ho ying fished out her map again, studied it, and we walked a little back, and fortunately i saw that sign pointing to bukit timah reserve! apparently it was being blocked by the leaves of one of those trees beside it.

ooh yes. i (okay, we) lurvveee the water over there! those kind that run in shallow depths over the ground which clearly reveal itself from underneath. and when we touched the water, it was rather cooling and though it was only our hands that felt it, it gave us a pretty refreshing sensation (:

and finally we got onto the treetop! fab view from above. lol siti was amused (or rather, amusing herself) by being able to touch the leaves of the top of the trees.

a view from the bridge (:

"tribal worm"!!! reckoned that it must have been some king centipede, looking at the feather-like 'headgears' around it hee.

looks like one of those in shrek ain't it (:

eventually got out onto 'proper road' (to quote ho ying: "ooh, civilisation!"), past the saf ammunition base, malayan railway track, rifle range road, and we settled at long last, ngee ann poly where we lunched. well, i basically drank for lunch. didn't have any appetite for real solid food. ho ying's dad also came down soon afterwards to treat us to a plate of fruits too. thanks uncle! (:

bus-ed down to the stop opposite coronation plaza and walked down to serene centre to (finaaallyyy) get a taste of the ice-cream at island creamery! (:

teh-tarik + berry very! mmm... (:

so, it was (slightly?) more than 10km? i felt good and proud of myself. yea my parents said "10km only?", but mind you it wasn't on levelled ground. i slipped a couple of times but fortunately didn't fall from those slight slips, which led to those periodic "ahh!!" from me (and the other two too), which also resulted from those butterflies that came across our paths, which just made me more accustomed to being around 'em! (: truly an in-vivo experience.

it felt like the butterfly specially waited a few more moments for us to take an apposite picture of it then (:
