Imagine walking across a dirty mud track with only and electric wire on one side and a deep gorge on the other... shudder at the thought? well,we (2 classes from our level) went for a hike today.It was 16++ km in wilderness(80% of it ) and up Bukit Timah Hill, the summit. It was pretty.....awful and nice too, if u know what i mean. Fortunately for us, we had a ok trainer who (at least) knew the route we were taking...imagine if we didn't. See, the route was hard and full of poth holes in places u least expect. I still remember having to dig my fingers into the mud to try to keep a firm foothold on the slippery mud. To put it across more bluntly, I Didn't know the school would organise things like these for us. I mean, one wrong move and your dead and gone. Just like a good team should, we made silly mistakes,squabbled, and stuff etc... all in all, some of the most memorable moments were:
-how every one rushed for water.
-how we had to climb up a steep mud wall to get to our destination
-how some monkeys did a good job of delaying our group
-how we saw something really really sick...
-and how we took photos at the summit of Bukit Timah Hill to prove it. (i dont have the photos with me now cos only Divya had a camera and she's offline so she cant email it over.)

Yup, that's more of less what we did today, actually, the most distinct reminder of our trip are our aching legs. :)
