Jungle Fever

Sunday, February 15, 2009

Nature embraced the four chosen ones who whimsically turned their backs on civilisation (for the day) and decided to trek the long forgotten part of M*laysia that lies in the very confines of our lovely nation. Yes, it is a section flourishing with natural greenery, and no, it is a part of Mal*ysia that does not require a passport. With an enigmatic sense of glee and an enthusiasm much misplaced (especially after having trekked so much in ar^y already) mounting within, we ventured into the welcoming hands of the Bukit Timah Railway Tracks.

We baked ourselves in the sweltering heat, soaked ourselves in our sweat, bashed through thickets, smelled the fresh scent of forestry... All just to trek along the forsaken and now defunct railway track that runs along Clementi, next to AYE.

Much as we tried to avoid a reenactment of our stint in ar*y, we still found ourselvs stuck in situations where we were sinking into mud because there was just no dry land to continue on our path, which makes me appreciate the saying "a path is carved out by Man" even more.

Our pilgrimage was however, hindered and eventually truncated by the presence of DOGS after passing the Jurong Industrial area... A pack of them charged at us out of nowhere when we were nearing this mini dumping site that probably was the 5 class hotel they were safeguarding. Nonetheless, it allowed us an early retreat to the comforts of civilisation once again. And we were back to talking about random stuff once again.

Doing crazy things are just part and parcel of life and with friends like mine, they become the idea of fun as well, no matter how crazy it may sound. So Boo, Laoda and Isaac, we shall continue overloading the world with fun.. Haha.
