The Most Tiring Day of My Life




Today, my papa and me went to MacRitchie reservoir. We are having the Chinese New Year holiday and thought it was a good idea to cross the HSBC Tree Top Walk bridge. You see, my papa, with all his greatness is a scary cat of heights. You should see him when we were up the DHL balloon and Kent Ridge park Canopy Walk. His knees went wobbly and he will freeze up! Nevertheless, he always told me that we should always face what we fear, at least once ;-P

It was a long journey to the HSBC Tree Top Walk. Of course I do not understand what 4.4km meant then and my papa said it's not that far. But it was far... very far ... so far that I thought I will never ever reach it. It was a funny journey. I am afraid of the creepy crawlies of the jungle and there were many butterflies around. I don't really like butterflies, they're bugs and I don't like bugs. One on them even buzzed close to my ears while we were walking! Eeeeeuuu!!!

At last we reached HSBC Tree Top Walk. It was a beautiful loooong bridge. I love it and went across quickly. Ops, looked like my papa decided to freeze up again. I had to walk slowly, so as not to swing the bridge. My papa don't like swinging bridge, especially one that is very high up. We made it across the bridge. It was a beautiful sight and I wished my papa would had passed me his camera phone if not for his trembling hands. :-P

Success! Objective met and now we shall celebrate with Milo Dinosaur or Godzilla. But first we had to walk back to our car. The directional sign board said MacRitchie Carpark 5.5km. I wonder what that means?
