An Adventure of a Lifetime

We went to Bukit Timah Hill today.

I would like to say "we climbed Bukit Timah Hill today" but...

You better read on...

It started with a harmless little map. 

Yong Ling suggested that we take a photo so that we could have a copy of it for the road.

We chose the not-so-common green path... 

   

The trek seemed easy enough.

We saw monkeys, squirrels, rambutan trees.

We stepped on rocks, we stepped on mud.

It was all in the name of FUN.

  

Marcus was the speedy one.

He was practically 200m ahead of us all the time.

Zenas was um... let's just say, if he could cab up the hill, he would have...

Marcus found a nice and windy spot so we stopped for a break.

Had a picnic and feasted on Chips and drinks.

Discovered that we CANNOT in fact pop popcorn by the radiation of 4 handphones.

Played Twister.

Climbed some huge water pipes.

Apparently the leaders still have a little bit of ADVENTURE in them...

We went on our way, and that was when we realised... 

Our one huge mistake...

All this while, we thought we were climbing Bukit Timah Hill...

But...

The fact was...

We were NOT on Bukit Timah Hill...

Now how on Earth could that even happen?

Well... we made a wrong turn right from the start.

We were walking AWAY from the hill.

After that was a lot of walking... and walking... and walking...

And... we hit a dead end.

This adventure was followed by a whole load of grumpy kids going... "GERMAINE!!! This is all your fault!!!"

(Yes, Germaine now owes a tub of ICE CREAM for CG next week)

We saw a lorry and Army Truck and considered fainting so that they would drive us back.

In the end, we turned back, repulsed at the idea of walking all the way back.

Marcus, the natural scout found a steep opening in the forest and walked out.

We followed behind and soon found ourselves at BUIKIT PANJANG.

We ended the day by stuffing our faces in Ice Cream at Island Creamy.

It made for a good ending.

On the whole, we accomplished nothing we set out to do...

But the generally feeling in the air was that it was a pretty cool adventure.

So guys... ready to get lost at sea during the next outing?

Love,

Germs
