A Long Night

After a tiring long walk, a continuation from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, some of us walked on...and on...and on. The grilling started at that prata place where we had to wait for an hour before all the boys were being served with the food that was ordered, these boys plotted the new MGR and find the distance of the road.

Many of them were unsure of the route itself, i remembered a question asked, "why the checkpoint is in the middle of the water body?" It wasn't wrong at all because of the map that we used was not quite up to date. They had some uncertainties along the way, however each of them stop quite accurately at the checkpoint, making use of local knowledge, road signs, canals, railway track, mrt tracks.

Finally they reached the ending point, most of them were half dead even i was quite drained. Nevertheless, they all mustered up whatever they had left for the last picture taken (shown above) before collapsing on the taxi and in Sir Daniel's car. Yes, the picture was taken in the middle of the water body but we are still dry...do u know why???

Many thanks to Sir Daniel which was our safety vehicle through the night and of cause pastor william loke our one and only Chaplin who suggested the route and brought me around the place, with great confidence and experience he shared with me the places around west coast all the way to science park area. When all the ideas that popped into his mind along the way, truly he is the real guru of it all. :D

Signing off,
Ying Han
