Sunday Walk with Piggy

I received an invitation from the 'Citizenship and Population Unit' (CPU) of Singapore for an outing for this Sunday morning at the Southern Ridge Walk. I had been there about 2 years ago but I remembered Piggy wanted to go there as she have not been there before. Therefore, I just asked CPU whether I can bring a friend along... and Piggy comes along with me.

This morning we were a bit late and Piggy was damn hungry... the weather does not seem very good as well. When we reached 'Vivo City' station where we met up with the rest, Piggy's face lightened up.... hehehe... coz we're given hearty breakfast with some free gifts for the outing. (umbrella, fan cum torchlight and a cute li'l brush cum highlighters) We're not the LAST ones to reach after all. Hahaha...
This is the yummy breakfast we have. Piggy took the Poached Salmon, Tuna Salad and Chunky Egg Sandwich while I took the Caeser Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken and Chicken Salad Sandwich. Piggy said she could not finish it all as she didn't walk the full 9km. Hahaha...

This is the welcome gifts we received and the umbrella was pretty handy as it was raining...
The walk was suppose to be about 9km starting from 8am till 11:30am but due to the bad weather, the walk was cut short and the route was amended. We waited till 9am plus for the rain to stop before we start the walk. It was still drizzling all the way during our walk. We only managed to cover part of the Henderson Walk, Mount Faber and Hort Park. If it's not because of the rain, Piggy would be able to have a view of the whole Southern Ridge Walk. She will have to make another trip again in future.

This is the starting point of the 'Henderson Waves'....
Look at the dark sky.... Altogether there were about 40 of us....
I wonder if there's no rain, would we have taken these routes.... think Piggy will shake head...
This is our park guide 'Robert' explaining all the stuff to us...
