Armed with only a bottle full of water, I had to pick a make-shift umbrella off the leaf litter, which I have to say, worked better against the rain than I expected. Along with me, I have my dad who was lucky enough to find a large leaf with a perpendicular stem. My sis and Wenxian were equipped with rudimentary gear; a cap and a tiny face towel. My mum was the luckiest - she had Wenxian's umbrella!
Leaves as brollies.
Those crazy steep steps.
It was a satisfying morning after the slog in rain and perspiration. And perspire we did - after all those knee high steps and crazy slopes. Finally, we achieved the ultimate aim - reaching the highest topographical location in Singapore!
At the top of Singapore with my mentor
I expected a bird's eye, panaromic view of Singapore, but all there were available were tall thick trees and a whole lot of mist. I guess that's what nature parks should be about anyway - as little human disturbances or evidences of human intrusion as possible.
The summit!

How did you managed to drag your family along?! Glad they enjoyed the walk.
For a better link to photos, see the Briskwalk page.
My mum was really enthusiastic, so she whipped the whole family along.
I guess it's only the morning inertia of getting up that's hard to overcome. But even my sis made it eventually - though not without a little grouchy mood in the air.
