Bukit Timah Hill, Super STEEP Slope UPwards

yes... it may seem crazy to most people, but me and my bunch of colleagues took a 60deg incline walk up Bukit Timah Hill right at the begining of our walk. Without any warning, the 10min walk almost felt like 1hr... the slope was gradual initially, it was like a pleasent upslopey kind of walk. Then it started to get more nightmarish as the slope became steeper and steeper, I can feel the strain in my cuff muscles, telling me that its too much exercise in the early morning. It is not warmed up yet!!

After enduring the pain in the muscles, we finally reached our destination and started the real WORKout. We had to navigate through some dangerous plants that causes itchy as well as those that has thorns growing out at all odd angles. I had a string of them hooking onto my left cheek! Had to slowly unhook them from my face (hope I'm not disfigured yet...)

It was amazing COOLing up there in the hills! Amongst the trees, there's a calm sense of serenity, almost away from the real world of WORK.

As we walked, we hear the birds chirpping away, monkeys screaming away almost like we are in a forest where you have to trek for days to get out!

We also encounter quite a lot of other patrons of the hill, with their exercise gear, towel and a bottle of water in their hands, they look ready to take on the slopey steps and the serenity of the hill.

I really did not know that there could be so many people exploring the bukit timah hills on a weekday morning. But I'm sure glad to have this place for some cooling wind and a pleasent getaway.

More walks honey? *wink*
