Bukit Timah Hill - Round 1

Weather today is purely - Hot.
Went to Bukit timah nature reserve with a friend & her friends for trekking
Oh my, they can climb up and down the steps with such good speed... and that leaves me the lousiest in the group because I was panting furiously and madly along the way; in fact, I stopped to rest near to the end of the trek (so embarassing).

One commendable thing I saw is that there are quite a number of old folks trekking there. Both men and women. They are going on really slow but real steady (they didn't stop to rest - unlike me. Haaaa..). Heard these old folks go there once every weekend (ok, stand straight and give a proper salute to them). They have motivated me towards a healthier lifestyle too when I grow old.

Ok, to add on further to my embarassment event in the morning, I practically "drop dead" when I reach home in the afternoon. Except for my growling stomach that made me get out from bed to buy myself an ice-cream cone when I heard the bell of the ice-cream man rang right at my downstairs carpark, I was lying in bed until evening dinner time.

Shoppers take note:
After the trek, I actually manage to buy a pair of reasonably good trek shoes at the shop there - Campers @ Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
Original price of the pair of shoes was $201 but I got it at $99.99 (wonder why they can't just round it off). The shop lady told us that their city branch will pass those shoes with not much sizes left to her branch for sales at half price (so if you happen to be there, just try your luck if you can get a good offer over there... and really, the shoes came with limited sizes.. so it depends on individual's luck).
