I got dragged out of my bed at 4.45am this morning for the tree top walk organised by my mum's company. Anyway its kinda awkward for my sis and i cos we dont knoe most of the people there except some aunties from my mum's clique and one thing i noticed was that her company people are not very closed knitted in the sense that there were many cliques and the people juz choose to hang out with their gang of members. The more ridiculous thing is that the aunties and uncles love to gossip and "suan people". For example they were "suaning" one of their junior supervisor for being able to arrive so early whereby she is always 20 mins late when she report for work and they were very unhappy with her for always stating her reporting time as 8a.m in the logbook eventhough she arrived at 8.20am. Sian* Its stupid rite... why bother so much whereby u can juz suggest to the HR dept to install punch card machine and people cant cheat anymore. Frankly speaking, i dont like her company cos its looks like their company politics is very serious. Although, i once wished to join my mum's company, its not the same for me anymore.
As for the trail, it's kinda hell but it is at least slightly better than the trail @ Macritchie reservoir. One of the slopes in Macritchie can be so steep till it is capable of sending u to all fours. Anyway the suspension bridge is very well built. For those people with heights phobia, u dont have to worry too much cos both sides of the bridge are lined with strong nettings and unlike normal suspension bridge, this one is so sturdy that it wouldnt even shake when i try jumping on it. LOL its kinda boring rite. For me, i do prefer the bridge to swing a little, then it will be more exciting. Heehee But there were lots of stairs and the routes are quite rocky and steep so by the time i complete the whole trail in 2 hrs and 30 mins, lactic acids are already flooding my leg muscles. My legs are damm sour... Ouch! I think this walk shall be my first and last unless there are people who are humorous and chatty going along, otherwise the 4.8 km walk can be quite boring.
