StaR in An auTuMn's niTe...: Southern Ridges Park Connectors Walk

Yes, mr g and I went for an adventure yesterday! We had decided to "conquer" the 9km Southern Ridges Park Connectors Walk. After a brief research online, the estimated time to completion was around 2 - 2.5hrs.

Usually, the starting point normal route people would take is from Marang trail --> Faber Walk --> Hill Top Walk --> Forest Walk --> HortPark --> Floral Walk --> Canopy walk --> Kent Ridge Park --> West Coast Park (end). But we took from the other way round because i wanted to end the jorney at Harborfront. So we started our journey around 11.30am and expecting to complete this trail at about 1.30pm, or 2pm at most. Anyways, guess what? We ended up spending a total of 5 hrs, 5 freaking hours to reach our destination! Meaning we walked almost non-stop, doubling the original distance we were supposed to travel. Because we lost our way trying to get to Kent Ridge Park from West Coast Park. There was no markers or instruction to guide us from this one to the next. Very bad. Hence, we spent most of the time circling NUS. Although we were lost for quite a while, i was glad that mr g was around as he was the one figuring the right track. If not, i would be super lost/tired and thought of giving up. He made me persevere. =) He knew i was exhausted, so he kept talking to me in hopping to divert my attention from tireness. Mr g was very encouraging and thoughtful throughout. =)

Oh ya, i realised mr g is rather good at taking scenic photos. He is so going to be the camera man for our Vietnam and Cambodia trip. hahaz.

Now my whole body is aching...

West Coast Park.

Still fresh and jovial. =)

I wonder how they allow people with the lack of direction sense to create this map. It's really very misleading and we got lost once at the Hort Park.
