The highest peak in Singapore

Went for a hike at Bukit Timah Hill, the highest peak in Singapore!

Parking is always a perenial problem at Bukit Timah Hill. We reached there by 6.40am, saw a long queque of vehicles waiting for clearance of the gantry gate for the parking lots. Fortunate enough to take the last offical parking lot available. (the cars behind me had to park illegally in the empty space in between the lines of vehicles)

Panting for breath when ascending the steep slope immediately after walking passed the visiting centre. Suddenly, the images of one of my former secondary school mates collapsed and passed on when hiking up Ayer Itam Dam a few years back flashed through my head! What an aweful thought. 

Quickly paused and took some photos with my camera... finally got my composure back and resumed hiking up the hill.

It has been many years (> 5 years at least) since I last visited Bukit Timah Hill. Flora abound, but no sight of any fauna (apart from hikers of various ages).

There are many hiking trails leading to the peak. Some can be quite challenging.

Soothing scenery, fresh air abound.
