Those who follow me on Instagram will know that recently i have been crazy actively going to
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve almost once in a week ! People have been asking me that question, i shall answer in a while !
How to get there :
For those who have not been to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve , you can head down to Choa Chu Kang Bus Intercharge take Bus 67 and alight at Church of Singapore ( Bukit Timah) !
If you are unsure, once you spot a bridge in-front of you then you can press a bell
and head down ! If not best part is to ask the driver !
What to wear :
For me personally i would usually wear a t - shirt and my Nike tights but due to the super hot Singapore weather i decided to wear my favorite shiny tank top ! I would recommend tank top which is cooling , avoid dark color & if you scare of mosquito bites then i would recommend wearing of long pants but the down side is very hot , if not you can wear like me , tights or maybe FBT shorts !
For shoes wise , DO NOT wear slipper or sandals , because they do not have much support on your ankle ! Wear running shoes which have high cut to protect your ankle , if you have hiking boots it would be good ! If don't have sports shoes with high cut then normal running shoes would be good enough !
What should i bring :
- 1 litres of water bottle [ The weather super hot , you will need lot of water]
- 1 Towel
- Mosquito Repellent
- Sun Block
- Sun glasses
- Slipper [ To change after that to relax your feet ]
- Happy Food [ Sweets , bread etc ]
- Camera [ If you want to take nice picture ]
I think that's all i would personally bring ! If you don't stay nearby as me , then i would recommend you to bring extra clothing to change because after that you will be super smelly because of the sweat !
Recently i do not have much job on hand therefore i also do not want to waste time just spending at home using my laptop ! Therefore , i jio my friend to go Bukit Timah Nature Reserve with me to Hike ! For those who are curious what Job i am working ,
here come the list :
- Freelance Camp Facilitator @ The Absorbent Mind
- Part Time Junior Instructor @ The Climb Asia
- Part Time Physcial Education teacher @ Shelton International School
- Part Time Book Fair Sales Assistant @ ReadMore Book Store
I would say this month was kind of down period ya , so not much of working days ! And also i did not manage to get into NTU Degree in sports science, so my plans is to work Full Time Now . Shall talk about my full time experience soon in the next post ! This post is meant more for talking about Bukit Timah Nature Reserve HAHA !
For me , i study in Diploma in Outdoor Adventure learning in Republic Polytechnic and one of the module we will need to come to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve ! That's is the reason why i know the place , if not i will not have confident to lead my friends !
Usually when i come with my friends , i will walk all the way up to the summit and at a point , there will be two path to select ! One path is walk to normal walking path and Other opinion will be walking up the stairs ! For me usually i will walk up the stairs , even though is more tiring but the feeling is damn shiok , but if i recently just work out and having muscle ache , for sure i will go ahead with the normal working path ! If not , it will kill me man : X !
Once reach the summit , rest under the shelter !
Drink more water & take out your towel and wipe off your sweat !
After cooling down , off to take picture with the Bukit Timah Summit rock
like the above picture ! n before you leave the place , pad yourself on your back and
say good job & last lap to finish before i reach the destination !
Self motivation to push yourself out of your own comfort zone .
The other day i went with other two friends , Sha & Desmond !
Sha will be leading us different route to track [ which mean next time when i hike i can go another path instead of my usual path ] . We did not alight at Church of Singapore Bus Stop ,
we alighted at the railway mall bus stop -taking bus 67 !
I am only able to share what i remember ya :)
I remember after you alight , walk up the step and turn to your right and walk all the way to the end , you will be able to see fitness corner area and just follow the path you will be able to see a board which stated something from N Park !
Slowly walk and you will be able to find this place :)
I really love this picture ! The guy whom took the picture for us really super professional sia !
The standard really up there one ! He capture nice sun light & also our shadow !
Cool or what sia ?
Such a nice place , how to not take a picture of myself !
Scroll down for some nice picture of the place :
Despite the weather being so hot , i still enjoy myself by admiring the nature !
The reason why i love coming alone is because i get to have sometime for myself , to relax and
have some self reflection ! Now is the transition period for me , is not easy but i am going to get through it !
With Desmond & Sha !
Both of them were my Kayaking Senior back den when i am in RP Kayaking Team !
Even thou we start from different point we still make it to the summit ! During the hike, we managed to spot Rotten Mango and the smell really super sour ! Even fruit lover like me find it disgusting man ! I also managed to spot some Durian , i was thinking , are those
Durian edible ?
Finally WE REACH THE SUMMIT !

Quote from Sha - She mention that this Monitor Lizard will be spotted at the summit !
When you at the summit , try spot this Monitor Lizard !
If you people are curious why Sha will know is because she is working as Camp Instructor and she will usually bring the students come to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for hike and she get to know all these through all these experience ! I am going to learn frrom her man !
Today trip is more like an educational trip !
I really love this place , where i can exercise , enjoy the sun & nature !
* The weather is super dude hot and i crazily still go ahead in hugging my hot rock and
i was asking SHA to faster take a quick picture of me if not i will be burn i guess !
" Hey You ! Stop There ! Let me take a Selfie with you! "

Rare Animals spotted !
It is actually Colugo !
I heard from Sha is that usually it will stay up top on the tree and most of the time you can't spot them as their color is same as the tree truck color ! It move really very very slow and the reason why is because when they move too fast , those bird which eat animals will spot them easily therefore they got to move slowly to prevent being spotted !
Skink Snake ?
Super cool color on the bed ! Spotted this while we are leaving the
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve !

Instead of just keep eating and shopping to spend time with friend , sometime i choose
to spend time in the outdoor and 'Window Shopping' for animals ! Take picture of the animals and of cos not bringing them home even though they are so cute to keep as Pet !
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve will be closing on 15 Sept for at least 6 months !
The only road will be opening is main road up to the summit and that only open during weekends for Public. Since now got time , head down to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve soon before it close down !
