This morning was not my first time going to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Last semester I went there with Eugene, Dom, Paul, and Daryl, oh and Ding Li too. That time was also tiring even though it was "only" walking through the main road. I told them that one day I wanted to try the trail and I also wanted to try walking from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to MacRitchie Reservoir.
This morning I went for Freshman orientation training organized by NUS Mountaineering (even though I'm not freshmen anymore :P). Yeah...one of my dream came true. We walked through the trail. I had stairs :(:( Actually I realized that I walked very slowly. Hahaha. When I walked up the steps, I needed to pause A LOT!! My stamina is very bad, that's why I was "dying" in Dance Ensemble tech class last year.
However, this time, I really hope I can persevere. You can say that I'm crazy, but last night before I went to bed, I kept smiling to myself despite the fear that I would be the slowest when I walked. One motivation is a dream to go back to India next year. Another motivation is to explore the mountains in Indonesia. I went to Mount Bromo once when I was very young, so I already forgot how it was like. Sometimes the negative thoughts come back, "You are very weak. Remember in dance? You will end up quitting just like before." However, I try to convince myself to hang on, try, and perhaps train myself more? I am very grateful because the new friends are very friendly, just like I was so grateful because my friends in dance were also very encouraging even though I got negative feedback from the coach :P Even if I quit after 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months, or 1 year, I won't regret because I have tried :):)
ps. answering the title, yes, Singapore has a hill. Bukit Timah Hill is the highest hill in Singapore. It's quite nice actually :) I like it. Ohhh..but it's more interesting when Paul and Ding Li were there coz they knew the trees and the birds out there..hehehehehe..
