So We Walked

It was a fine sunday morning. Shirley, Janet, Andy, Nicholas, Fiona and I went for a walk at the Southern Ridges, stretching from Harbourfront to Kent Ridge Park. Fiona's cousin, Pauline, and Janet's youngest sister, Shandy, joined us too. (This paragraph is very Primary School-ish).

Alright! So we met at Harbourfront MRT control station at around 1010hrs, before we headed to the Marang Trail, the beginning of the whole walk. Initially, it was pretty awkward, as that was the first time we did such thing together. Haha.

So we walked. The place was quite scenic. Not the mountains and the rivers and the clouds and the wild horses chasing each other on vast greenland, but the heights and the bridges and the trails right in the heart of the city.

So we walked. We took short breaks in between, having some bread and raisins, while letting the 2 kids rest. They hit off pretty well it seemed. Haha.

So we walked. Pauline kept bugging me when we're reaching. Haha. Cute little girl though. I guess I'm just lovable. Anyway, She kept asking how much more to go, when I had absolutely no idea as well. Haha. How I wish I have such cousins as well. The one I have is horribly rude and proud.

So we walked. Pass the Henderson's Waves and Forest Walk (metal bridges). Fiona was gutted by the fact that she was walking on bridges that she could see what right beneath it. She was afraid that the bridge would break apart.

And so ... we walked. Pass the Hortpark where we took quite a number of pictures, played at the playground and enjoyed more bread. Finally, we reached the Canopy Walk at Kent Ridge, and we stopped.

So ... we had our lunch at Seah Im Foodcourt after taking the bus from Kent Ridge Park to Harbourfront, again. Slacked at Ben & Jerry's, got fooled by the 2 kids with their lame jokes and riddles, and finally home sweet home.

Enjoyable overall. I should be returning to that place again some other day, hoping to reach West Coast Park next time. Haha. Friends' company and good exercise make a good day =D.
