first ever morning hike.

i can strike off another activity that i always wanted to do and that is to hike in a nature reserve here in Singapore.

sad to admit that despite living here in SG all my life, there are a lot of activities and places that i have yet to do or visit. Nadd fulfiilled this one activity with me this morning and we are going to make it a monthly activity, well at least after Ramadan and Syawal have passed. hoping as well to invite the # other babygirls to join us.

we hiked at Macritchie because i wanted to see nature in all its glory via the tree top walk and i was glad i did. feels so great that there are still places in SG that are away from the hustle and bustle of the heartlands and city centre. felt so free while hiking.

felt like i was floating on air :) 

anws,
while on the tree top walk bridge, Nadd and me had an epic moment.
Nadd did mention that she and her bf came across a monkey problem when they were last at Macritchie and both of us encountered the same monkey problem.

while we were on the birdge, we did see monkeys in the trees around us but decided to ignore them. not until reaching the end of the bridge and wanting to continue with the hike did we get a shock of our lives. upon reaching the metal door to get to the trek again, we were greeted by a troop of monkeys, sitting on the hand railings.

i tried to be brave and tried to walk past them but as soon as they started to move towards me, my knees went weak and i turned around and both Nadd and me got back on the bridge and waited for someone else to walk in front of us. we cant help but laugh to ourselves 'cos of our slight foolishness.

after the monkey problem was over with we continued onward to Jelutong Tower. climbed up the spiral staircase which made both of us dizzy but we managed to reach the top!

felt the tower swaying while i was on top and i actually thought i was the one doing the swaying. another fail moment. the breeze was nice though.

oh, we both got caught in the rain whil making our way back to the rangers' station but we managed to find shelter at a hut with a few others who were caught in the same situation as us.

all in all i had a great morning spent with Nadd. talked about everything and anything.

the next activity i have to plan is iftar with the babygirls. :)
