Sugei Buloh Wetland Reserves

Brought MQ to the above place during the Hari Raya Haji holiday last Thursday.. Haha, she had wanted to go to the Mandai Zoo, but the gate ticket prices are such a turn off for me. Go check the prices if u're interested in going there. On the other hand, Sungei Buloh only cost 50cents each for students like us!!

N so, we happily embark on our journey to the north-western tip of Singapore. It was her first time, n my second time there...



We had bfast together on the rainy morning

the car was on auto-pilot mode, no worries!!

Dat's about all.. We clocked more than 5km of walking dat morning, holding an umbrella in our hands walking through the partially flooded gravel tracks.. It was one of a kind of experience.. Reminds me of the days in Tekong during my BMT... The only downpoint was both of us were badly bitten by mozzies when we went deep into the wetland reserves.. Nevertheless, it was a special day spent together..
