Over a nice Saturday on 11 August 2007, some Cheng San-ians decided to conquer the tree top walk and get some exercise...
Look at everyone's fresh faces in the morning...
We met some squirrels and monkeys at the beginning. The squirrels were to fast, the monkeys were slower, but they seemed to know I was taking a shot, they were about to go off...
Then the gruelling trail started... What seemed like never-endinggggggggggggggggggggggggg.
Until like an hour, we only hit the 1km mark...
After what seemed like another hour, with steep descends and ascends, we hit the 1.5km mark.
And some more walking and perspiring, the 2.0km mark.
And halfway point, 2.5km more to the treetop walk...
And finally, the sign came to us.
And the trail & hike continues...
It's demoralising I tell you, you imagine you keep walking and what you see is a never-ending path.
This was the ranger station where we all took a little break. By this time, we were letting the chicken rice lunch to motivate us to finish the trail.
And finally, the entrance!!!!!! Shuling was almost attacked by a guarding monkey at the hanging bridge... Haha, luckily there was the ranger to help us scare it away...
As we were exiting MacRitchie, raindrops fell, and we took a cab to the famous kampong chicken rice stall and indulged in ice-cold drinks while waiting for Cliff, Roy & Gek Choo whom joined us for lunch.
Hung Jui was expected to come for lunch. But too bad he was caught up with work. Well Hung Jui, you missed out some good people and good food!

Shuling suggested a Cheng San Toastmasters Recreation Club, with sports activities each month. So Cheng San-ians, join us next time!
