Mummy found out that the Rifle Range Nature Park will be closed on the 29th Sept 2018 for 2 years for structural enhancement. So we decided to go check it out before it closes. That Saturday morning, we drove and parked somewhere near Temasek Club and walked to the entrance to the park. However, as there were 2 entrances at each side of the road, we had to make a guess which one will lead us to the more interesting walk. As it looked like the one closer to the residential area was blocked, we decided to try the one on the side of the Temasek Club.
As it turned out, we picked the wrong route and ended up on the paved track which finally led us to Bukit Timah Reserve Park.
We walked through the park and passed by interesting plants but unfortunately not that many animals or insects. I spotted a row of wild mushrooms and was thinking if I could bring it back to cook for dinner. Daddy said these are wild and probably poisonous mushroom which we should avoid. We also stopped by a little stream and tried to scope up some "longkang" fish with a container. Caught a few but of course we knew better than to bring it home so we let it back into the stream.
After the exciting and eye opening walk, we headed to Rider's Cafe for our brunch. Daddy and Mummy told us that the last time we were there was many years back when Gor Gor was still busy stacking animals. Unfortunately we didn't see that many horses this time so we just enjoyed our food and the peaceful surrounding.
Mummy and Daddy took the day off today to spend time with me on my birthday. For my wish list, I asked to go check out Forest Adventure as I have not been there before and heard a lot about it. As Gor Gor was going with me, he decided to ask his best friend Kieren along. Funny that he is the one bringing friends and not me since it is my birthday. Actually the truth is that I don't have many friends who are sporty and willing to rough it out like me. So I decided that i will just brave it alone.
The course wasn't that tough actually. Or maybe I made it look easy as I went through all the obstacles quite easily. As they are older, Gor Gor and Kieren had to go on the more challenging obstacles. They had fun too and the last part was very exciting for them as they did a flying fox over the reservoir.
We decided to have dinner at Chinese Swimming Club since we couldn't think of anywhere else to go. After dinner, we made another impromptu decision to go bowling and this time Gor Gor called another friend Zachary who is staying near CSC. It really looked like it is his birthday party instead of mine.. I am glad we had lots of fun that day!
We had our usual dinner at Nai Nai and Ye Ye's place and after dinner, I celebrated part 2 of my 7th birthday party. Nothing fancy, just a good time with a chocolate cake and people who loves me!
