Destination: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Who: Terrence, Sean, Jonathan & Daryl
Once more, we found ourselves heading back to our 'favourite' haunt; Bukit Timah Hill.. Why always Bukit Timah hill u may ask. Well, I'm not too sure either.. Can only guess. Perhaps it's due to our first memorable experience scalin tis little hill? Anyways, we met at arnd 1020, all geared up and ready to start climbin e hill.. But a distraction appeared. In e form of a mother monkey sucklin her young one.. Such a sight. Really depicts Motherly Love.. CanT help but stop to take pics. of them man. Spent arnd 15mins. dere? Until e mother gt so fed-up wif havin a camera pointed at her and her young one dat she barred her teeth and charged at me.. Whew. Scary experience man.. For half a moment, i tot i was in for it. Luckily she decided to stop.. Hence, was able to escape wif nth more den a thumpin heart. Set off for our favourite place dere; Hindhede quarry.. On e way, our usual pit-stop, e swing and all. When we reach e quarry, took a couaple of pics. of it and lingered dere for arnd 45mins.. Geez! How time flies when u're havin fun.. Gt to really rush up Bukit Timah Hill as we had little time left. Terrence gt to leave by 1400.. But alas, we didnT even get to start climbin Bukit Timah Hill. Why? E answer is once again link to Man's cousins.. We saw a whole troop of Long Tailed Macaques. Terrence wanted to take a pic. wif one of e monkeys so we stopped for awhile.. Or so we tot. Well, dat took such a long time to get a decent shot.. Coz firstly, the shadows of e trees enshrouded e monkeys. Dat means a slow shutter speed.. Resultin in more shakes. Secondly, e monkeys were so temperamental.. Nv know wat they mite do. Who knows b4 e shutter is press e monkey mite haf already charged at Terrence.. Lastly, monkeys bein animals are often rather shy when ppl get too close to them. So they always shun Terrence.. Makin e task much tougher. Neways, after much effort, we gt e shots.. Den we went to observe e monkeys. A whole family of them.. Wonderful experience. Can really see e love and e close bonds e monkeys shared.. So after awhile, we left e monkeys alone and headed for Al-Ameen for lunch. Boy, they sure were hungry.. Ordered a set meal costin 35bucks. Whew.. Comprisin of soup, meat, veggie, egg and stingray. And they finished e whole thin man.. *applause. Well, didnT had much appetite.. Juz had smth light but even dat was nt finished.
Wif a stomach full and a memory card dat stored e precious moments we had, we went our seperate ways..
