Upon The Tree-top...

7 adventurous pple decided to do smth more unique rather than watch movies afterblk test... they decided to set out to conquer the heights... at the HSBC Tree-top trail in Macritchie Reservoir... wif a total distance of more than 9km... the 7 pple r: mz, yw, soon kueh, xav, low, set n of course... myself... :)
after finishin SPA Skill A Physics... which totally sucked cos i realised tt my experiment cant work at all... but nvm... we waited at the canteen for abt more than 30 min for Datuk Set... who went back to the hostel to change n to bring his stuff... very long... haha... while the rest of us crapped abt a lot of stuff at the canteen... after set arrived... we set off to soon kueh's hse at Macritchie... tt was our refill stop... n immediately after tt... we set out on our quest... wif very wonderful imaginations n expectations of the trail... decided to take the longer trail... abt 10km in total... haha... low made a bit of noise... but the rest of us were apparently more enthu abt it... n we started our hike at the 0km mark... hiked for abt 1 hr plus... walkin thru the forest trail... which was not very easy to walk wif its uphills n downhills... n muddy regions... n soon kueh encountered some spider webs... haha... prob becos he was wearin red n blue (tink spiderman... hehe... :) )... but we did hav a gd time talkin n chattin... well... as yw said... this is great time for interaction... after a long long long hike... we finally arrived at our destination... the tree-top bridge... which was only 250m long... n only one-man-wide... meaning: u cannot backtrack... after much photograph takin... we started to cross the bridge... n cheeky pple started to make the bridge perform torsional oscillations n scare the daylights out of me... notable culprits: xav, yw, alvin low... thx pple, for the scare... along the bridge, there were a few spots where u were supposed to c some trees or birds... we saw the trees, but not the birds... n we realised tt the bridge was actually really suspended by 2 thick cables... haha... even had an OREO break in the middle of the bridge... which obviously i wasn't really interested in takin... cos i was really quite scared of suspension bridges at tt height... sigh... the height phobia... :(
after crossin the bridge... we started on this journey of endless flights of steps... up, down, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, down, down, down, down, down, down, down... endless upon endless steps... all in all we climbed N steps, where N is a huge number which I simply cannot count... saw a millipede... n low went to disturb it wif a stick to c if it can roll up... haha... so we asked him:" How wld it feel if some1 took a 2m pole n start to attack ur legs???" haha... cos tt was wad he was doin to the millipede... the millipede's legs were movin like waves... quite a nice sight... :)... after managin to hike back to the ranger station... we cut out thru SICC... cos we cldn't bear the idea of havin to jike another 4 plus km back to macritchie... along the way, we were discussin abt country club membership... haha... finally managed to find our way to Thomson plaza... where we had a gd break at the food court... haha... n we discussed abt our possible chalet in May... haha... but i guess tt one we will hav to put it to the class vote... :)... its indeed a happening day for me today... haha... n i really enjoyed the hike!!!
