A reservoir adventure ( Lower Pierce)

Mainly i got to Lower pierce after upper pierce. So this is like part 2 of the day.

Nothing interesting for me here, except my family used to take some walks in here as there is a forest trail.

saw quite a few families taking a walk. But the day was really hot, wonder how they could stand the heat.

A reservoir adventure (upper pierce)

For these 2 months, i have decided to do a little adventure trail around singapore's reservoirs.

I find these places beautiful, serene, alluring and also exhilirating! You will all find out why in the posts. So without further ado - my personal favourite: UPPER PIERCE!

So before you actually reach the reservoir, you have to cycle along a winding path. You will find the path unusually cooling even at 12pm with the sun shining directly above you! All thanks to the lush vegetation on both sides.

Roughly 5-10 mins later: Target reached

Entrance of the Park: The start of a series of 3 crazy slopes.

Just look at the degree of incline of these slopes. So make sure to hold on to your handlebars real tightly. No need to pedal, just let the slope bring you whooshing down as you shout AHHHHHHHHH!!

Adrenaline rush achieved!

yay.

Some fun things to do here is skipping stones. With so many stones lying around, its a great opportunity to perfect that throw. I was taught to throw the stones as parallel to the water surface as possible, so you have to bend to your left or right and keep your hands parallel to the water surface as you throw the stone.

Do you know? Using fishing lures is better than using live bait since live bait will dirty the water when they decompose in the water. However, pollutants are produced in the making of fishing lures. But i think that fishing lures will be more sustainable.

One of the incredible things i saw that day.

Bishan Park

Yup i would love to sit on one of these. And then take in some fresh air or something.

Decisions.

Decisions made from the past can come back and bite you in the ass when you least expect it. This was what i learned today when a call came from my camp. Just know that regulars are more concerned with their own backsides and paychecks than to better the organization they work for. I wonder if this would be prevalent in any other companies or organisations. If so, i doubt it would be successful, if at all. Ironic how those who chose the call to arms can be such cowards in the face of responsibility.


Other than this unfortunate event, i should say that this month has been a good one.



Has been staying on top of my driving lessons.


got my SAT results which is fairly good 2070, gonna aim higher for the next one! (which i havent been revising for)


Ran a full marathon, which resulted in a pair of limping legs. The experience is fairly torturous. (This is one of the things which i feel should be done only once in a lifetime)


Ate many a good meals ( Waku Ghin, No menu, OTTO, 40 Hands, Wild Honey) :)

So we concentrate on the good things in life

Like having some abalone

Or perhaps lobster
