What's in A Blog??: MacRitchie Tree Top Walk

Last Thursday was Labour May.... Darling and I organised a hike to Tree Top Walk @ MAcRitchie Reservoir. There were about 12 of us, including two children. We gathered early in the morning, 8am. I was surprised to see a big crowd at the reservoir when we reached! The entire park was pretty packed. Secondary sch students were there to kayak or jog. There was quite a huge number of senior citizens too! I was excited as we waited for the rest to turn up. It would be the most "exercised" week of my life, ever since school days!! Hahaha! :D Last week I started my kickboxing lesson, remember?

The whole journey went smoothly.... even the kids enjoyed themselves and did not grumble even a wee bit! They were waiting to catch sight of monkeys! We eventually did... when we were walking along a path after our break and the kids were still trying to finish their bread. Well, the monkeys smelt from far the fragrance of the hotdog bun and all scrambled up to us! The parents panicked and quickly kept the buns. That was quite an experience! ;)

If you were to look carefully around you as you walk thru' the jungle, you can actually spot many residents of the reserve! I even picked up a rubber seed.

It was simply amazing and interesting. Tho, I can't say the same about some of the people we met along the way. The runners simply rushed thru' the path. Tho some were polite to thank us for giving way, some shouted "excuse me" in such a manner as if we were taking up their space! So infuriating!! Perhaps there should be a running route reserved for jogging only, so that those who visit the reserve mainly for the purpose of admiring the nature can do so in peace and at a leisure pace.

At the end of the hike, we went for a good meal at Swensen's (another lousy experience @ Swensen's for me..again :( Well, but it was an enjoyable day for me :)
