Jeffery's Diary: Hiking - Ex Railway Route

Good Morning Blog,

Three years ago, Mr K brought me to an Ex-railway path before (link) and I decided to explore further and see whether is it a suitable hiking route.

Getting ready and feeling good after yesterday zzz

My shoes can't wait to go

Mr Sun just woke up too and he will accompany my hiking today

I guess I am really running photo ideas already. Hahaha...

perhaps can add in some selfie moment with a smile

Taking train opposite direction where the commuters are going

Arrived to Bukit Panjang

Started my hike here behind Junction 10, this is a Railway Route (google map)

It will be one STRAIGHT path until the end of this journey

Let's do this journey with me

I will try to snap a picture of the scenery whenever it changes

Since you can't use Google map to walk through within, perhaps this will help

And sometimes you will see me in the picture

Instead of just a straight path, some interesting thing which might interest you is some of the tall trees around here. They have seen a great change from no railway, to have a railway until the present.

And still growing strong. But who knows? One day when the government decides to develop this area... They will have to go... so sad...

Anyway let's carry the way down

The sky seemed gloomy today

Spotted some rocks at the side. It seemed like it was a small platform but was destroyed and discarded.

I wondered what was their original form looked like

Too bad, I am not physic to enable me to flashback to the past.

Oops Miss Rain was here

It started to rain!

But I will still continue my route as Miss Rain was just teasing me to fasten my steps.

More tall-growing trees here

Interesting vines here

Nice interesting 'platform' in front of the trees

It was the straight-est path from this point onwards

And you will realise the rural landscape is gone

As it was behind you already

A road cut into the way

Just cross over

A tall shot that I always want. Cheer!

The old abandoned building from the past

I approached it closer and observed the condition

The grass was so tall and your feet will sink deep in; even when you were there, you can't tell it is that deep.

I guess it is best to leave this abandoned house alone because it is a house for... MOSQUITOES! RUN!!!!!!!

Running far far away

Oh! Construction ahead.

OH! That familiar bridge which I can still remember three years ago

Spotted a monitor lizard swimming in the drain

I think that I was at the end of my hike somehow and time to...

Yes! Time for Cosplay here XD

Dressing up to my Quantum Suit

OOPS! I torn my middle finger

I am ready to become the FIRST person to cosplay here

The ruin here is perfect like as if...

I traveled back to the future where left, is ruin.

Searching for life form... hmm...

Fail to locate life form beside a stupid one here

My green shoes somehow don't fit in the scene, well... I have no choice

But nice debits for photos

Okay! Enough pictures taking... As my camera low batt... Oh man...

A train spotted to Kraji

I can end my hike here, but I decided to continue my hike and explore what is the end of the railway path

I continued my path up here and something unique here - surrounded by tall thin forest

OOO an overhead bridge

It seemed like you can climb up here

an overview of where I ended my climb at

Look at the straight path and you can imagine the train used to travel here

I found an open station but just a place for MOSQUITOES!

I continued down

And found a construction going on here. (google map) So I returned back to the bridge and continued my way up

21km? Hmm... Have I covered so far? I checked I think it meant the journey if you started from the terminal.

When I was about to finish this part of the route, There are two drain-like ponds,

Looks quite deep though

Spotted a flowered plant which I don't use to see it on a daily bases

oooo Had I finished the hike yet?

oooo! This railway corridor has become a heritage trail.

I checked on my Google Map app, realised behind me (across the road) has more railway route.

Here is also part of the ex-railway path, let's continue

An obvious footpath to lead your way ahead

Along the path, you will see Mother Nature is consuming the bike halfway

Hmm... I realised this path, there are many trees fallen down

It seemed like it happened some time ago

Looking back and investigated the situation... the side slope...

It seemed like in every forth tree will be the fallen one.

Another reason for the fallen one because of its shallow root system. That reminds a Great Teacher taught us that if we have a weak faith (like the root system) we will fall easily.
