Hiking - Moss Finding

Hi Blog,

I thought I had a morning meeting today, but it was in the evening, so I have some free time. Where or what should I do with it? I plan to create a moss terracotta pot to share in a future post.

What a hazy day... Very discouraging...

I didn't want to stay indoors and do nothing, so I decided to go outside. I don’t know how to swim or ride a bike, but I’d like to learn. Instead, I thought about going for a short hike on a trail I haven't visited in a long time, hoping to find something interesting.

Hiking - Gillman Barracks Forest

Hi Blog,

This month, I've been hurriedly working to document some forests that are at risk of being lost forever. Last week, I visited Maju Forest (you can check out my post about it), and next on my list is Gillman Barracks Forest. You can also read more about the news regarding these forests here.

I took a half-day leave to visit the nearby forest, and the weather today is looking great.

Why can't I go on the weekend? Why do I have to take a half-day leave? The forest has gained a lot of attention, and I’d like to visit in peace. Additionally, I am trying to clear my leave. Dongsaeng K also wants to explore the forest, so I will go with him.

Hiking - Kranji Marshes Alone

Hi Blog,

On Saturday, I was scheduled to travel to a farm near Sungei Buloh to collect my plant. As I considered where to go before heading to the farm, I decided to visit Kranji Marshes again.

As usual, the weather is good and very encouraging. My friend RD wanted to join my hike, but it might be intense, which I will explain later.

Looking back on my last visit to Kranji Marshes, I can't believe it's been a long while since I was there. You may read my past posts - Kranji Marshes (Apr 2017) and Short Visit (Jul 2017). I will compare changes from then to now.

Hiking - Former Lorang Halus Landfill

Hi Blog,

Today's post is a backdated one, as I went on 31st August 2025. I should space out my posts for different months; hence, this was a long post for August. Anyway, back to the topic.

Great weather! I was going to bring my waifu, but ZN needed my help with his hiking competition, so I went out to explore a bit before meeting up with him and his wife.

As titled, I will explore the former Lorang Halus Landfill. At the end of my previous post, 'Three Forests along Serangoon River', I saw a beautiful and possibly exploration-worthy place, so I decided to do it today.

Hiking - Three Forests along Serangoon River

Hi Blog,

What should I do on Saturday morning? Of course, go hiking! Let's go! There are numerous locations to revisit to refresh my memory.

Plus, today is July 5th, and there are rumours that a massive earthquake will occur near Japan. Personally, life is still going on. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Worrying will not help the day, but I was worried about it raining heavily. Let's see how. So, where shall I go?

Blog - March Overview

Hi Blog,

Have you ever been conscious while dreaming? Like being fully aware of your dream, knowing what you are saying and how you are reacting, yet unable to control what happens within it.

I experience this quite often. Sometimes, after waking up, I can still vividly remember what took place in my dream.

I’ve come to realize that this mirrors real life—just as dreams unfold on their own, so do the events in our daily lives. We can’t control what happens around us, but we can choose how we respond, what we learn, and how we grow from these experiences.

A great teacher once shared that when we consistently practice self-awareness—through reflection, repentance, and attentively observing the world around us, including people, events, and nature—we can cultivate mindfulness throughout the day. Lately, I’ve been making a conscious effort to “know” my thoughts, adjust how I react, and learn from every experience. I’ll continue observing and refining this awareness as time goes by.
