one word to conclude how i felt yest: CHUI! :D
conquered the southern ridges with zhi liang, dorothy and melissa and it almost killed me! it started when my brother's crazy alarm ringed at 4.45 and i woke up to off it for him cause he was snoring like a pig and was dead to the world! i shun bian on the heater and went back to sleep while waiting for my own alarm to ring. i was surprised it didnt ring and it was only den that i realised i woke up at 4 plus!! argh!
me, zhi liang and melissa ate macs breakfast while waiting for dorothy. we stood out like a sore thumb because everyone was in corporate wear while the 4 of us were in tee shirt and shorts. :p in order to have enough energy to walk 8 km, i had hotcakes for breakfast :)
we started at normanton/kent ridge park. the scenery wasnt all spectacular cause it was jus the usual treesand branches. :p we walked the long long bridge and it was pretty scary to peer over the railings cause we are jus so far above ground level. -shudders- act i dun really rmb our route. i jus rmb we came out of the forest area and came to this huge huge garden that had really pretty flowers and that was when we started taking photos.
all the way to the hort park when there were supe nicee garden displays and we went crazy here!! taking photos at every display and even joining the kids at the playground! :D we climbed like spiders, played on the see saw, slide on the slide, played with sand. jus relieving our childhood! there are lots of photos in testimony of this! :D
next was alexandra bridge. the metal bridge! this bridge is super long and we came to one of the intersections where the old colonial houses were. we walked the whole stretch and were gawking at the houses. uber cool!
yest was really not the day to conquer the southern ridges cause there werea lot of sections of the bridge closed to public for tree cutting. in the end, we had to climb the long long steep flight of stairs that led to the top! gasping for breath by the time we reached there! hahas...
there was more awaiting us! to get to henderson waves bridge, we had to climb a really really steep slope. dorothy said that the best way to go up a slope is to run in one breadth all the way to the top and that is exactly what zhi liang, dorothy and i did! melissa was taking a leisure stroll behind. all i can say from this episode is that my lungs capacity is really small! that run up the slope almost killed me!! BUT it was all worth it cause henderson waves bridge was really spectaular!!!
after henderson waves bridge was the road up to mount faber. super deserted and by then, i seriously only had half my life left! zhi liang was still supe high and singing all kinds of songs to entertain us! very gd! if not i would have jus lie there and sleep!
all the way from mount faber back to harbourfront mrt station, we were walking through forest areas again and this time we were hurrying on our way cause there were big black CUCUMBER clouds above us! hahas.. pardon me forthe term cucmuber clouds cause i really dunno the term that geographers use to describe such clouds! :D
jus when we were thinking longingly of the chicken rice at seah im rd food centre, we realised that the whole hawker center was closed!! what a day!! we ended up at yoshinoya. the moment we sit down is when the full extent of our tiredness hits us! by the end of f lunch, my eyes were dropping le!
it was home sweet home after lunch cause zhi liang needed to prepare his lesson plans also! i totally knocked off on the train while zhi liang was busy playing with my DS. so needless to say, the moment i reached home and bathe, it was sweet dreams on my nice comfy bed!! :D
SHAG and CHUI are the perfect words to desribe me yest!! :D
