Southern Ridge Walk 27.06.09

Indonesian Millionaire, Jimmy, Sparrow, Mutu and Icefloppy planned to meet 7.20 p.m at Jurong East MRT station. However, Mutu overslept despite turning early at 10 p.m the previous night. Everyone are making a guess of what he is doing the previous night. Sad that our Miss Myanmar unable to join us for the fun.. MC (H1N1????) and need more rest.














Finally reached Habourfront Exit D at 8.10 a.m.
Marking attendence, briefing and distributing of H2O and cake before our walk. We see our PI/Agere colleagues there. And many more... but we never see XK's love there. Too bad.














All of us are excited for the walk. Millioniare had putted on a t-shirt "Easier said than Done". Good determination.

The southern ridge walk starts from:
Marang Trail (Starting Point) -> Mount Fabar -> Henderson Waves -> Hilltop walk -> Forest Walk -> Alexandra Arch -> Floral Walk -> Hort Park (final destination)

Mount Faber Park map... Below reaching the top.... we have to go through the Marang Trail. This trail extends from Marang Road, just behind the Harbourfront MRT Station to the cable car station at the Jewel Box on Mount Faber. Walk of steps and shaded footpaths through secondary forest, Marang Trail covers an elevation of 70 metres (or the equivalent of a 24-storey building).













Millionaire is damn smart to bring his own umbrella acting as a walking stick. Especially in need of while climbing up the stairs. His bag carrying water...
Faking how tired he was even before the walk. Haha.... Surprisingly, Millionaire are the leader, walking way in front of us.



Up at the top......

Mutu and Jimmy trying to figure out what bus come up the hill.... trying to catch the bus and have a free ride back without informing us... Joking la... Of cos not, they are so determined to complete the whole walk and looking forward to our sumptuous lunch later.

Sparrow mentioning that the man looked like her father (Uncle Strange). Great that icefloppy managed to captured the moment when she mentioned about it.



Everyone taking a picture at the top of Mount Fabar.
Jimmy from KL
Millionaire from Jakarta
Unable to find China for Sparrow, replace by Bangkok... at the same direction.
As for Mutu, he made a choice to have a pic (@Brunei)







We saw mutu's relative (little green snake) along the way down to Henderson waves. Upon hearing our footsteps, the green snake slithered away in a hopping matter. Mutu concluded that the green snake is drunk... well, of cos he understand them well....

Reaching Henderson waves... our group foto....
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.













Jimmy receiving a gift (cap) after answering a quiz question correctly.

Stairs again! Millionaire still the 1st one up......



Up at the hilltop, millionaire enjoying the breeze.... Have a short rest before heading towards for our forest wall.

No matter where mutu is, he likes to walk near to the wall or trees....

Starting of the forest walk ar Telok Blangah Hill....
And the sky become dark... about to rain... a strong gust of wind blow onto us as if welcoming millionaire for his arrival... We enjoyed the walk with such a wonderful weather.

Mutu and Sparrow are so far behind, wonder what they are chatting about?



Keeping a lookout for the durian trees... too bad, we found them cut down by the workers. haha....

Mutu looking out for saga seeds (love seeds).... Preparing to collect them and send as a gift for his love.



Reaching Alexandra arch....


Sparrow with Beautiful flowers at Floral Walk


Reaching our destination@ Hort Park



Jimmy in love with the cactus and feeling "sad" that his lover is not around to enjoy the fun....
Millionaire catching for Aircon...





Finally, it is a treat to ourselves @ Japanese gourmet town. We tried okonomiyaki instead of the intended buffet lunch and ice-cream at Yuki Yaki.

Hungry and tired after the walk, Millionaire eager to make an order fast....
As expected, Millionaire ordered Curry, rice and also okonomiyaki...... but he didn't finish the last dish.



Millionaire and Mutu enjoying their food.....



Reaching Haagen Dazs to enjoy 25% discount. Yum Yum....

2 scoops of ice-creams with brownie.... Can't imagine that his stomach can fill in so much.. That's the power of the snake's stomach, able to fill a cow.

Millionaire can't wait to have his 3 scoops of ice-cream with hazelnuts nibs. Can i start now???

Jimmy one is so much special.... looks like ..... err?

Sparrow receiving call from PC... she can't wait to have her ice-cream with mango syrup..

End of our walk and delicious food..... Mutu decided to leave us and head towards Paya Lebar. Jimmy & Sparrow head back to woodlands... Millionaire continue to enjoy the air-con in the cinema watching TRANSFORMERS....

Our expenses:

sun yan - $30.1
yasin - $53.7
jocelyn - $29.1
adrain - $32.6
jeremy - $32.6

All ready for the next walk???
