2nd Bukit Timah Hill Climb

07/01/2007
Today, the group expanded to include my mother, T's father, Johnny and Jay. We headed for Bukit Timah 1st thing in the morning as Jay needed to be back by 11am for his lesson.
Upon reaching, we could hear sirens coming down from the hill. Apparently someone had fainted during a walkathon that was being held there. We parked our car and launched our climb...this time without the stroller.
The 1st fright we had was when i tried to give bread to the kids. The monkey, quick as lightning, appeared right in front of M and tried to snatch it away. I would have taken it all in good stride if not for the screams that came my way by anxious family members. Despite being a small matter, I was treated to earful of scoldings from all corners.
The weather was great although the sky was overcast and it drizzled a little...but not enough to cause any panic. The boys and J took the alternate route again and M, my mom and helper took the usual. Meryl again climbed with the help of seaweeds up the top. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my camera.
We climbed down in record time and then headed for Serangoon Gardens to have our brunch before returning home for the kids' nap.
