so yes, we reached macritchie at 12pm (we ended late the previous nite so couldn't really wake up). a nice walk in, it was nice and warm, there was the occasional rumble of thunder but it sounded like it was far away so we ignored it. i found out tt tj has never really been in macritchie cos apparently schools in the east don't hold cross country runs in macritchie, only in east coast park etc. he was quite amazed at the beauty of macritchie and with the fact tt ppl could canoe there, and i related jkaiser's canoeing adventure to him.
well i'm pretty out of shape and my left knee has been giving me trouble these days, but no big worries as we walked and talked, but the sky grew progressively darker, but we went on... tj's sandals gave way 800 m from the treetop walk, but we continued cos we were so close... and we made it, the view was lovely as usual, but cos the wind was quite strong the bridge was quite unsteady so i didn't enjoy it as much this time arnd. in fact just wanted to get out of there. we got off the bridge, and then it started to rain, moderate at first, then it really started to pour. luckily we both brought brollies, there was an ang moh family who didn't and were really quite wet. dunno wat happened to them, we overtook them. brollies weren't much use in tt weather, and water also got into our bags (we both cleverly put our hp, wallet and his camera in the outer pocket, bad move cos they all got slightly wet) after 30 min of pouring rain, we made it to the ranger station, where there was approx 20 ppl there seeking refuge from the rain. we took a break from the rain, had some food (sandwiches never tasted tt good) after another 30 min of waiting/napping/eating the rain got smaller, and we decided to make our getaway. which consisted of another 1.5 hrs of walking towards civilisation (towards island country club) in hopes of getting a cab. we finally did, and headed home to shower etc.
after a brief rest, we took a bus to parkway to get a cake for yun, then proceeded to dinner at some tze char place. after tt we made it to yun's place at 9 to surprise her. she didn't know we were coming, but i think she guessed we're all acting weird. so yah, ade, del, joce, tj and i went up to her place complete w cake and present. hope she liked her mini "surprise". pics!
after cake cutting, we proceeded to phuture. music wasn't bad, but aiyah, nobody lancing leh, so sianz, we left at 12.30 cos there really was nobody dancing! so bored. so bak kut teh supper is the best solution. hehe. by then i was absolutely bushed. happy b'day yun!
