Went a long long way before I reach the tree top. On a one way track, there was no turning back. Along we went, up the long flight of stairs. Breathing getting deeper, shirt getting all sweaty, legs getting all tried. But we hanged on, and we went on off the beaten trail. At 8km, out in the lonely long road, under the hot sun, we were getting tired. We did not know how far the destination was, but we knew we had to walk on. Walk and walk, till we saw civilization, the familiar concrete buildings. Over the train tracks, out we saw the horizon of the main road. Never had exhaust fumes smell so nice. Up the last flight of stairs of the overhead bridge to Beauty World, we ate like never before. Hahah the sugar cane smell sweet, the Cha Kuay Tiao delicious, and so was the Ice Kachang. Haha.
A bit kua zhang, but thats pretty much how I spend my Birthday. We went Macritchie and trek to the HSBC tree top. Tree top was the idea, but it only lasted 10 mins of our 3 hour plus walk. Haha thanks to the few of my friends who were with me, especially a round of applause to the girls, Gis, Jings and YC! Great work!
