Nature Parks Walk - Labrador & Hort Parks

Treasures of Hort Park
18th Jan 2014 - Went Labrador & Hort Parks with my friends as our morning exercise again. This time we went to have a walk @ Labrador Park first and today was not cloudy (the sky was not blue) as the last time i came. But at least it was still windy, and the tunnels were not opened again. Don't know when will it open again. I even told my friend the wrong dragon tooth gate...hahaaa....After the walk in the park, we made our way to Hort Park. The park was small and there was a garden fair when we reached there. But there were a lot of beautiful flowers around, and there were a lot of children playing around too. Too bad, we didn't make it back for the Japanese lunch as it wasn't opened yet.


Nature Parks Walk - MacRitchie Reservoir

A type of Fungus
Tree Top Walk
11th Jan 2014 - Went hiking @ MacRitchie Reservoir with my friends as part of our morning exercise. It was nice to have a hike in the morning and i didn't know that MacRitchie Reservoir was soooo big. There was a mountain hiking path and it was surrounded with trees and you even can see complete spider webs around the trees. We even saw a bunch of monkeys and there were 2 or 3 baby monkeys playing around. The monkeys were jumping from tree to tree above us too, it was cute. We took around 4 hours or so to reach the tree top walk, it was a suspend bridge. The wind is blowing when we walked the bridge and the bridge was also slightly too..but the bridge wasn't that long (the one at Southern Ridges is longer). And after that, we continued our hike and we reached a tower which one of my friend didn't want to climb up as she was tired. The rest of us walked up and one of my friend got scared of height when climbing down the stairs. Her boyfriend and me had to hoax her walk slowly down the tower...kekee...Then we continued to walk slowly back to the exit and along the way, we saw some monkeys playing too. By the time we finished our hike (which was around 3.30pm), we were quite tired and sweaty...After that, we all went home separately.

It was quite a walk there, we only walked around one side of the reservoir. Hope we will have another round to walk the other side of the reservoir.

Nature Parks Walk - SengKang Riverside Park

4th Jan 2014 - Went alone @ SengKang Riverside Park to walk the fruits trail. It was windy and so nice to walk and see around the park. There is a reservoir called Punggol Reservoir and a SengKang Floating Wetland. There are some fruit trees in the park too, but i went there too late, so by the time i tried to find the trees, it was getting dark. Saw lightnings too and it looks like going to rain soon. So i had to go home.
