Bukit Timah Nature Reserve...Part II

After yesterday's experience at the Nature Reserve, this morning, we're all geared up with the right attire before heading to the Nature Reserve! Gwendolyn's even brought 2 Steves along to attract the monkeys!
The car park was crowded and Papa dropped Lyn Lyn and Mama inside the car park before trying to find a lot outside the compound. Half way, Papa called and told Mama that there were 2 monkeys outside. Mama hurried to bring Lyn Lyn out to see, but the monkeys ran quite far away already. Lyn Lyn was a little disappointed, but at least, she catched a glimpse of them running back into the woods!

The real action starts with the initial slope up the trek! Lyn Lyn walked for 3 seconds and asked Papa to carry her...Mama insisted that she tried trekking upwards by herself, just like the other kids around us...but the slope was really steep and Papa just carried Lyn Lyn up to the first resting point, whilst Mama took her time to walk up, as she's having some teambuilding event the next day and she didn't want to tire herself out too much!

When we're up on the flatter ground, Lyn Lyn started walking by herself, drinking water every 5 seconds and wiping her face every 3 seconds...

Where's the monkey? Lyn Lyn thought that having 2 Steves peeping out from Mama's backpack can attract the real ones!

Papa carry...Lyn Lyn helped Papa to dab away the sweat, so that he can carry her!

Which way to go? Lyn Lyn's chosen the route to Summit, following the yellow path

The yellow path is the longest trail, leading to the Jungle Fall...

With a steep and difficult trek...Lyn Lyn insisted to go by the yellow path, but decided that it's too difficult. After going up, we headed back down again and she agreed to have a change in course to follow the red sign instead!

Unlike the yellow muddy path, the red is easier concrete road and Lyn Lyn walked all the way to the Summit by herself!

WE DID IT!


Resting and refreshing herself...

No monkeys...next time...time to go home...Ciao!
