today morning went together with my youngest brother to join my mum and her friend in a trek at the MacRitchie Nature Reserve. it has been years since i last visited and walked around in the area. i still remember in secondary school when i will have to go there every year for our school's jogathon event. when i went there today, it really have changed a lot, and for the better.
it was a long trek as we go around the whole nature trial, if i am not wrong all in all we walked around 8km!!! and for a whole 3 hrs man! haha, reminded me so so so much of ROP. :P we went to the HSBC treetop walk! haha, it was my 1st time being there and i totally love the short 10 minutes walk from 1 end to the other. at 1st it seems quite daunting to be walking on a slightly shaking bridge that is suspended in the air above the canopy with only support from a few cables. but after a while, i started taking in all i could of the wonderful scenery that is beautifully displayed in front of my eyes. the feeling is so surreal and so amazing!!! if you have not been there before, try it at least once! if you are a nature lover, you will definitely love it to the max!!!
after that we continue walking and reached the jelutong tower. even though my brother and i were quite shagged by that time, we still could not resist the temptation to go up the tower to look at the scenary (for my brother also to ka chiao the monkeys :P). and so with our aching legs, we climbed up the tower and we certainly did not regret it. from the top of the tower, we could catch a bird's eye view of the whole nature reserve and my oh my, it is really breath-taking!!! haha, really enjoyed myself a lot. thankful that i promised my mum to accompany her even though some unhappiness resulted with my dad from my promise. being able to spend such a fulfilling time with mother nature made me feel revitalised. will certainly try to make it a habit to go trekking in the woods more often when i have more time to myself. :) looking for something to do with your loved ones? i will recommend a walk in the nature reserve. ;)
