Pierce-ing through the Nature Reserves

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I will be waking up early in the morning tmr around 6 plus, to prepare for my nature expedition. My colleague and I will be 'Pierce-ing' through the Central Catchment Nature Reserves of Singapore, along the Upper and Lower Pierce reservoirs.

By taking a look at the Singapore Map, one could only find 2 visible greenery patch on the entire island. One would be the Live Firing area at Tuas, while the 2nd one would be the Central Catchment Nature Reserves of Singapore, separating Thomson/AMK area from the Bk Panjang/Batok area --- Separating the Eastern/Central side of Singapore from the Western/Central side of Singapore. Thats why ppl who wish to travel from AMK to Bk Batok has to make a BIG detour from either the northern or southern part of singapore, when the direction physical distance between them is many times shorter.

When I was younger, I used to take a fancy on the Pierce reservoirs when looking at the map. But i have never been there in my life and it didn occur to me tat i will be visiting them one day. It sounds kinda silly, but tmr morning, i will park my car at Thomson, and take a cab down to Diary Farm road, and start my trekking from there all the way to Thomson road, so that i can collect my car and drive home directly after the trekking.

Pray hard tmr doesn rain, and no mishap happens.
