Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

Happy Deepavali to all Hindu friends! hope that everyone had a pleasant day :) I enjoyed my day today with my family!! <3 It has been an awfully long time since we last went hiking/ walking/ exercising at Bukit Timah Hill, so we revisited the place for a morning workout on this Deepavali! hehe.

It was certainly a good workout for all of us! We didn't realize that the hill was so steep at the beginning, much effort was needed for us to climb up the slope, and we were panting like dogs... We had planned to walk a shorter route up the 'peak' of the hill but ended up with a longer one.. lol. 

We did not take too long to arrive at the submit. we were all drenched in perspiration, but happy cause we made it up the peak together!! had light snacks while we were at the peak! It was such a pleasant atmosphere at the peak. 

Mei calls it the Eiffel Tower of Bukit Timah.. LOL 

There were so many families, just like us, making it to the top together. There were many children too, and I wondered how some families push baby prams up.. The route to the peak was full of rocks, thick tree roots, mud and staircases. It really wasn't easy to travel up the peak.. 

There was this kid who liked Angry Birds so much that he was literally "attracted" to my dad when my my dad accidentally pressed the game on his phone. haha. The boy approached my dad when he heard the sound of the game.. So cute right? he even taught my dad how the game is played. Kids nowadays are so technologically savvy. lol. 

Chilled for a while at the peak before taking a shortcut down hill!! much more relaxing compared to climbing up... 

That was the end of our hiking trip at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve!!

We drove over to the Salvation Army to donate some unwanted clothes before heading to West Coast for lunch! It was Kim's Family Food Korean Restaurant for early lunch! 

Food was quite decent with a wide variety of banchan (side dishes) too. Prices were quite high in our opinion though. Service was good and our food arrived promptly :) Would like to go back again!! 

 Our orders! Get ready to feast your eyes!! 

Seafood hotpot 

Saba fish 

Our pick*: Kimchi Pancake

Mixing Jajang Myun

Refreshing tea which was served at the end of the meal 

Went home after lunch!! Showered and caught some movies online with sisters and cousin!! Best thing catching a movie at home, you can get whatever snacks you like, you can communicate with your mate(s) and pause whenever you want! Fun fun fun :D 
Feeling so tired now, gotta go sleep soon! There's school tomorrow, afternoon classes! Bye bye!
