Woke up at 9am to meet bennett today to go to Macritchie tree top walk. I swear i have never been so exhausted for a long, long, long time. I wanted to go to tree top walk since im all hyped for some adventure so i decided like a night ago. We alighted at marymount mrt and we couldnt find a bus to mac ritchie so we took a cab there. We started our adventure by walking around macritchie reservoir, literally. I will get to that later. So we walked along the pathway up and saw many people taking back their boat after their canoe training session. We saw this sign lim bo seng tomb and wanted to go see it so we made a detour. Wasnt anything much so we went back to our "path". After an hour only did we realize that we were walking in circles and back to the start point where there is an eatery. Argh. We were so annoyed because lacked signboards and maps that could actually lead us to where we wanted to go. Like there wasnt even any "you are here" maps at all. NONE.

So... we walked to the start of our adventure after walking rounds around the reservoir. Thats when our adventure started... Start of the trail!
Signboards

 Awhile into the trail... monkeys were chasing after bennett. I swear it was so hilarious. Apparently we were walking on the path to tree top walk and there were two monkeys in our way. We thought that they wouldnt be any harm to us so we just approached them. We were so wrong because one of the monkeys started to run after bennett because he was holding onto his green tea. The monkey literally ran after him. He was so scared to death that he ran like metres away from that monkey. We managed to walk past the two monkeys and started walking.
The two monkeys... Video will be uploaded soon!

 The path towards tree top walk was so secluded... like there was nobody there and we were surrounded by nothing but trees. Genius bennett had to tell me there was snakes in the forest like argh. Why did you have to do that! The road was so rocky and uneven and it was pretty difficult to walk even when i was in my sneakers. We took like 3 hours to walk to that damn tree top walk. The road there was just so tiring. and when we started the journey they told us it was only 5km, and it started counting down from there. We felt so annoyed when we walked so much but only to realize we walked 0.5km of it.
I dont know if we were tired or the signboard was just lying to us because the last 0.4km was the most painful, and by 0.1km it surely didnt felt like it was only 0.1km because he had to climb this steep hill, and then we had to climb the stairs to the tree top walk.
When we finally got there, the view wasnt all that fantastic, and i can honestly say that i was rather disappointed because i expected more and it was nothing but just a damn bridge.
Im not lying when i say the view really isnt that fantastic. Its just trees... and more trees. The road back was just torturous because we had to climb endless steps down and endless steps up only to realize it only got us to the ranger station. We got lost and walked in circles and back to the ranger station again like goodness. We gave up and went to the side of the PUB and called a taxi and went to marina sq cause we were too weak to complete the journey.

Hello guys, as many of you all know ive been to Pulau ubin on sat and it was super awesome. It all came about when I saw Andrea posting about this instawalk, (whereby we are able to go to pulau ubin with Andrea, Sandra and Christabel and some smart local people) on her instagram when i was studying for econs at starbucks. I went to sign up and i wanted to bring someone else along too. I was in shock when thesmartlocal called me 3 days later and told me i was selected for the instawalk and i was so happy i went on to watsapp and spam people about it.

I went there and i was greeted by Fauzi, one of the smart local personnel and waited for the rest to come. The first friend i met was Yan Wen because we were in the same group and we both indicated that we are followers of Andrea. I started to feel better because i met a new friend to embark on this journey like yay! We took the boat to Pulau ubin and we had our free time to explore Pulau Ubin town by ourselves till 10am. Yanwen and I went around taking some pictures and started to mingle with other group 1 peeps. Im really surprised by how friendly all these people were and how open they are to meeting new people.



After exploring Pulau Ubin, we walked till we Pekan Quarry. Pulau Ubin is apparently called granite island in malay and people use to do mining for granite. When all the mining stopped, the water filled these lands and thus becoming a quarry. Pekan Quarry is just one the five quarries in Ubin. The sight is just breath taking. Even after coming to Pulau ubin so many times with my grandma before, i have never really explored the whole of pulau ubin. Being at pekan quarry was one of the many discoveries during this trip. The view was just amazing; the clouds were so puffy and the sky is really denim blue. The waters at the quarry was so green with the sun rays shining on them. Andrea, Christabel and Sandra all took many photos here and believe me when i say they pose effortlessly. Sandra managed to do a yoga move on the fence and we were all holding our breaths because we were so scared she might fall over.

We took a van into the forest and we came to house no. 1. I swear i have NEVER seen this house in my life, like ever. I didnt even know it existed till i came to this walk. Apparently it is a cottage served as a holiday home for Langdon Williams in 1930s and now it is a conserved building as a tourist attraction. Behind the house there was this long stretch of broadwalk for us and everyone was busy taking photos of themselves. Christabel and Andrea were taking so many beautiful photos. it got me laughing so hard when they were trying to get their shots done.
Andrea " walk like you have a purpose. "
* christabel starts to march-walk *
Andrea " Not that kind of purpose!!! "
I swear we just burst out laughing. Andrea went to take a few shots and she looked so beautiful in every shot taken. She just had to take a few steps forward and turn and that was it. Like, bam bam bam, every move of hers was just like a picture perfect you dont even have to ask her how to pose. I swear she is some goddess. Im really amazed by how they took their photos and the poses they do, like they have been posing their entire life.
Of course, we started many photos there are well.

Next, we went to coastal broadwalk, a 600m long walk. You can see tekkong island from here(hello army boys) as well as Kota Tinggi malaysia. We were walking the bridge build on sea and it was really a good view up here. This is when serious spamming of photos starts
Everyone is taking photos of themselves HAHA!

We took the van back to Balai Quarry, which is similiar to Peka Quarry, just that the water is much greener. The view is just awesome. one of the TSL personnel activated this flying thing and we were so amazed by it.
Before we knew it, it started to pour and we took the van back to Pulau Ubin Town. I managed to ask Andrea, Sandra and Christabel before we left. yay! Favourite shots of the day!
Christabel!
Andrea!
Sandra!
Andrea! :) Sorry for the bad quality photos because my phone sucks HAHA but im so happy that i managed to get a picture with them anyway. It was just a short 5 hour trip but it felt so amazing because i have now seen a different side of pulau ubin and i also got the privilege to see how influencers take their photos. Maybe one day, just one day i can be like them too. * crosses fingers *. I will definitely go to pulau ubin again and go the same route as i did today. Im so glad that im able to get on this journey. Thankyou TSL/MND for organizing this trip because ive definitely enjoyed myself. Out of the many times ive been to Ubin, this is the best thus far.

3 more days till you are back, 4 more days till i finally get my well deserved freedom. 3 more days to chinatown's adventure again. 3 more days till im finally able to sort my feelings out. I really cant wait.

I felt that i didnt do my very best for econs, and i really dont know if i did up to a certain expectation.

Math is finally fucking over. And im done with it for life. Me and maths are never ever getting back together, like.. ever.

All my life i've really hated, detest, just hate math for life. I didnt know life, or any subject was "undoable" until H2 math came into the picture. Before i realize what i had gotten myself into, there is no way of turning back.

It feels so weird because a bulge of my time has been spent on this time consuming devlish hell subject that i've grown to hate it so much its so weird its finally gone. Its like you just want some free time when you are so busy and when you finally do, you realize you dont have any purpose in life.

When i was doing the paper every question made me felt like this:


Im not going to comment on the paper but fingers cross i hope i get a decent grade with the amount of effort ive put in. But im feeling pretty terrible right now so im just gonna rant and sleep today off and start a new day tomorrow.

Life is so horrible right now. 3 more subjects to go before i bade goodbye to them forever.

Im so afraid i cant even make it to a uni. Honestly, i really do...
