So, the 8 of us (Di, photographer, not in picture) who made it, braved the (somewhat) rough terrain of the slopping steps that led us to the Bukit Timah summit.
We met "Liana (the curling 'trunk')", along the way....
... and we climbed the first set of numerous steps that caused major aches and strains to muscles we didn't know we had.
While the girls marched on in front, the "men" power we brought along, dragged themselves behind us. Two of them, got "rasuk-ed" and became Leftenan Adnan & Lim Bo Seng as we trekked our way up.
From left: Tina Turner, Adnan. Bo Seng and "Hitam itu menawan... Nama saya RAIN".
Relishing in the glory of reaching our first pit stop out of the three that we were supposed to come across along the way.
With a map, that we (except Hida) didn't really know how to read, but proved to be reliable when we trekked back downhill, a few hours after that.
Mr "Suke dia!", striking a pose.
On the way to the summit...
... we chanced upon several caves (which were all gated)...
... and Sheikh Al-Rainee finally found his oasis.
"Aku nak jual 2 anak dara aku ni..."
Us, before climbing the last set of a few hundred steps that will FINALLY bring us to the summit.
Us, climbing the previously said set of a few hundred steps.
AT THE SUMMIT, FINALLY!
We ended the day with many tender grilled chicken burgers sets at Burger King and also managed to caught "Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", which was utterly unpredictable + all gore + actors/actresses singing with super thick British accents.
Worth the 10 bucks we splurged on the tickets, definitely... and the large popcorn + cheesy nachos + 3 large drinks were definitely worth the 30 cents we were charged, by Rain's & Yat's friends =)
More outings, yes?
p.s. Next week, baby, I promise... i miss you too =(
