CH157: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

I wouldn't have fancied spending my Sunday icky and sweaty. But, because of having skipped a day or two at the gym, I decided to just to anyway. Because its been raining in SG with thunder clouds, I haven't been able to go out and do my cardio swims (bad timing).

CP and I went out yesterday (Sunday) to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It's also a bit of a travel away. It's actually my first time to linger so far out West of Singapore.

Overall, activity wise, Pulau Ubin is still much more challenging - the bike trails. We weren't able to go around biking in BUkit Timah - just hike through, walked up and down steep trails. It could have been more challenging if we were running I guess :-).

Afterwards, CP and I went to Fusionopolis to shower in Fitness First and sneak in some weights and some core exercises.

Definitely worth visiting Bukit Timah if you want a change in pace. An experience away from urban Singapore.

All those work out, put to waste though when we decided to hit Beach Road for some steamboat buffet! :-)

  2. I should invite you the next time I go on a nature walk. :) You'd be surprised that there are a lot of these "green" areas all around the island. :)

  3. Bukit Timah is too far from my place. Kuntento na ako sa Pasir Ris Park. LOL. Kapag sinisipag, sa East Coast para mag-in-line skates.

    Kampai!

    2. Pasir Ris Park is okay. Madilim nga lang sa gabi. I mean compared to other parks na well-lighted.

      I've never been to Changi Village pero dati, sobrang lapit lang ng tinitirhan ko doon. LOL.

      Kampai!
