18Jul Exploring Bukit Batok

Bukit Batok hillside park
Read from a blog that when entering from behind the park,
you can spot the opening easily upon alighting from bus stop.
But we did not see the opening and instead a construction site was in front of us.
We went up cutting the edge of the construction without searching for the opening. 😝

Challenging route from behind the hill

Spotted a "well"?





We found the sloppy terrain is the killer

 


Walked to the most right end of the hill (if from the front, its the left)
and found an abandoned hut. Look at the love hate message left behind.





Bashing around again



Found the stone steps, but not yet the "tori gates"






And the old well



On the move again..

And was distracted by this other broken shelter




The tori must be somewhere.. but as there were slopes around us, it
difficult to cut through the thick forest

Finally we followed someone and climbed up a slope and some thick vegetations,
and came to an opening.






Tired after going up and down several times, and as it was getting late,
we decided not to look for the tori..

That's the entrance for easy route. We will be back to look for the tori.

Took a bus to our next stop instead of walking, as it was getting late

Checking-in to Checkpoint 2 finally


Malayan colugo




















Someone was trying to take photo of this bird.



Look who's so lonely?



Monkey eating durians





Walked along Lor Sesuai



The old Bukit Timah fire station


And we added the other checkpoint to our list - CP3


Lunch is nearing - we almost could not make it at Obba Jjajang as there were too many people.
We decided to get a queue number and eat something light nearby first.

Our appetiser

Soon it was our turn






We love the food! 👍
