Morning Walk along the Southern Ridges

Saturday, March 21, 2009

Planned to wake up earlier today as we have planned to take a walk along Hort Park with the whole stretch of road to Vivo City.

However, after all the preparation work and deardear and I staying in bed till 8.45am, we left home at around 10.15am.

On the way to our destination, Caden Teo fell asleep on the taxi. So we have to carry him and walk. When we arrived at the Alexandra Arch, the taxi driver just tell us to go up the bridge and walk towards the left direction. So we listened... Little did we know that we are moving away from Hort Park though we are walking in the direction of Vivocity. As we walked and walked along the forest trail after the Alexandra arch, we came to the Telok Blangah Hill. Thats where the map showing that we should turn right after alighting from the taxi and not going up the Alexandra Arch. However, no more turning back. As we walked up the slope to catch a glimpse of the Telok Blangah Hill, Caden Teo began to rub his eyes.. Finally, baby has awaken up to carry on the journey with us. We stopped for a while as Tita feed him with his milk.

Then we carried on the journey towards the Henderson Waves. On our way to Henderson Waves, we saw some students having camp like activities at the playground... We also met up with a pair of old couple taking a stroll to Vivocity while buying bottled drinks (as we have forgotten to bring water).. Haha.. Posed for some pics while on the Henderson Waves then we proceed to walk towards Mount Faber. When we arrived at the Jewel Box, we decided to change Caden's diaper in the toilet. Took a rest at the Jewel Box.. Caden even fed the kio with some fish food.

Finally, we entered our finally trail of Marang Trail before arriving at Vivocity. We ended our 2 km walk at 12.30 pm. About an hour and half of walk and rest..

Happy Family...



We had our lunch at Marche and played in the "Waterground" (dunno what is it called) with the shallow water outside Marche. Caden seems to be a little scared of walking on the water filled ground.. Maybe its rough... maybe he is not used to the water.. After a while, we decided to go home as we are all tired...

Indeed its a very enjoyable family outing...
