Last-Minute Hike to Bukit Timah Hill — Exploring the Devil Steps, Cave Path, and Hindhede Quarry 🏞️🌿

Had an amazing spontaneous adventure with Channy, Ayu, and Peg at Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore’s highest natural point at 163.63m! It was the ladies’ first time conquering this iconic spot, and we made sure to visit the hidden gems along the way.

🕵️‍♀️ What We Explored:

Devil Steps — Steep and thrilling, a must-try challenge for every hiker!

Cave Path — Inspected the two remaining caves. Did you know there used to be 3? One collapsed. There is also a small waterfall & Chinese tomb here. We saw the Tree Maintenance team in action!

Hindhede Quarry — A serene and scenic spot that’s perfect for taking a breather and enjoying the view.

It’s always exciting to explore lesser-known trails and share these experiences with new hikers. 🥾✨

📍 Bukit Timah Hill Highlights:

1️⃣ Highest Natural Peak in Singapore
2️⃣ Steep Climbs & Unique Cave Trails
3️⃣ Scenic Hindhede Quarry

We had an amazing turnout of 13 participants for our Vertical Climb Training, despite the foggy sunset at the Level 47 Skypark! The recent rainy and foggy days have certainly added a mystical touch to our climbs. Despite the weather, the camaraderie and energy were high! 💪🌇

The MRT ride between Buona Vista and Queenstown was free, although it was quite crowded. Trains between Buona Vista and Jurong MRT stations are still down due to major repairs. 🛠️💯

Had a fascinating hike at Bukit Brown Cemetery, a place I hadn’t visited in a long time, and I realized how much I’ve missed it! This time, I was lucky to meet up with two friends who are Bukit Brown experts:

- Hills 1 & 3 Walk with Darren

- Secret Garden Exploration & Lunch with Ah Beng

During the hike with Darren, we explored the tombstone of a lady whose sons were involved in uprisings against the Qing Empire, and the tomb of a man who played a role in bringing the British into the Sultanate of Selangor. We also heard tales about a TCM doctor who had the most famous pair of Sikh guards. Darren shared stories of a brave man buried alongside three women, two of whom were his mothers-in-law!

The hike ended near the grand Ong Sam Leong 王三龙 tomb, the largest in Bukit Brown, with its majestic stone lions, intricate carvings, and opulent design.

Afterward, I visited Ah Beng’s Secret Garden, where he demonstrated grafting techniques and showed me his trees with multicolored hibiscus flowers and even different mango varieties growing on a single tree is possible! Lunch was a unique porridge with jackfruit plant, meat and curry, cooked on-site. What an amazing day! 🤩🥰

Although I won’t be sharing a map for this hike in respect to the privacy of the residents of the Secret Garden, I highly recommend joining Darren’s free guided tours through Peatix to explore the rich heritage of Bukit Brown Cemetery.

Interesting notes:

Sikh guard order - "Guard the Residence", Sikh guard order - "Patrol the City"

Bukit Brown MRT Station (CC18), nestled between Botanic Gardens (CC19) and Caldecott (CC17), lies beneath the historic Bukit Brown Cemetery. This underground station is currently closed to the public due to ongoing redevelopment plans for the surrounding area.

SkyVille @ Dawson: Vertical Climb Training with a Foggy Sunset View.

Our small group of climbers gathered for our regular Vertical Climb Training 🏙️💪 We tackled the climb to Level 47 not once, but three times up and one time down. The foggy sky during sunset added a surreal touch to the breathtaking views!

These climbs are the perfect way to build endurance and enjoy some incredible cityscapes.

Jog up the old Kent Ridge Road, explore Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), and lunch there.

That early morning sat the black cat caught and ate a small mouse - the gross parts removed. The regular "Cat Feeder" did not turn up to feed the cat! 😅🙏

Hey, ladies! Let's talk about losing belly fat. It's something most of us want to do, but it can be a real pain in the... well, you know where.

But fear not, because I have some tips for you that don't involve any crazy diets or grueling workout routines.

First, let's talk about posture. Did you know that standing up straight can help you look slimmer? It's true! So, stop slouching and start standing tall. Your back (and your belly) will thank you.

Now, let's talk about snacks. We all know how tempting it is to reach for a bag of chips or a candy bar when we're feeling snacky. But instead, try reaching for something that's both delicious and healthy. Like, say, a handful of almonds, some carrot sticks with hummus, or even a piece of fruit. You'll satisfy your cravings and your belly will be happy too.

And finally, let's talk about stress. We all know that stress can wreak havoc on our bodies, including our bellies. So, instead of stressing about losing belly fat, try doing something that relaxes you. Like taking a hot bath, practicing some yoga, or even just curling up with a good book. Your mind and body will both thank you.

So there you have it, ladies! Some simple tips for losing belly fat that don't involve any crazy diets or intense workouts. Now, go forth and slay those belly bulges!

Hey, friends! Are you ready to lose some of that belly fat and build some muscle? If so, I have some tips for you that don't involve drinking any weird shakes or doing 500 sit-ups a day.

First, let's talk about belly fat. Did you know that stress can contribute to belly fat? So, instead of stressing about your belly fat, try laughing it off! Watch a funny movie, hang out with your hilarious friends, or just spend some time browsing memes on the internet. You'll feel better, and your belly might even thank you for it.

Now, let's talk about building muscle. The key here is to find a workout routine that you actually enjoy. If you hate running on a treadmill, don't do it! Instead, try dancing, hiking, or even joining a recreational sports team. The more fun you have with your workout, the more likely you are to stick with it.

And finally, don't forget about nutrition! Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs can help you lose belly fat and build muscle. But let's be real, we all have our favorite junk foods that we just can't give up. So, instead of cutting them out completely, try practicing moderation. Have a slice of pizza instead of the whole pie, or split a pint of ice cream with a friend.

Remember, losing belly fat and building muscle isn't just about looking good, it's about feeling good too. So, find what works for you, laugh a little, and enjoy the journey!
