Looking above the Treeline
Yes I know I have not been updating. Andrew's asking why am I so silent. Actually I've lots to say but don't wish to bored you all with details. =) Just update you on my outing trips over the long weekend.
I went Kota Tinggi with my family last sunday to attend my childhood playmate's wedding at her / family's Kota Rainforest Resort. It was a Long rough ride, bad & inconsiderate drivers, hot weather and i felt dizzy. But a downpour welcomed us just before lunch so that kinda ease our discomfort. the Resort's a Great escapee to get up-close with nature. Heard there'll be lotsa fireflies at nite! Dad concluded that we traveled Hours just to have a 10-course meal was rather 'nice'.
Yesterday was FUN! Went MacRitchie reservoir nature trail yesterday with Derek. Explored the TreeTop Hike on a hot, scorching Monday; it's not really fantastic, just trees, trees, leafs and more trees. Both of us agreed that it can't compare to scenic mountian view @ brissy. But if u want to have a view & a feel of what its like to be a monkey up a tree or a bird in its nest den i guess its pleasurable to be looking above the treeline. Thank God for shady trees, I guess even the birds r complaining about the recent weather. Be prepared to walk abt 10-15Km, plenty flights of stairs and some steep slopes. If you are keen try climbing 114 steps up the viewing tower. Ha, I'm that 'eng' to count the steps huh. But I was let down by what I saw--More trees.. haha. Just that! no mountains, no lake, no chirping birds. One of the highlights: I fed the fishes with my strawberry hello panda biscuit albeit illegal but it was sure relaxing to see the pathetic turtle struggling its way among the fish to have a piece of what they have. Eventually disappointed that they didn't leave a trace of leftover for him.. awww poor thing.. m I a sadist? We left immediately in case we see fish floating upside down. haha didn't I just said I m a sadist. Other then that, I truly ENJOYED the Trekking! Hope to do more! =P
