Alone, but not lonely















The weather in Singapore is so hot recently that it is almost impossible to find a nice cooling place outdoor. Contrastingly, the condition inside the tropical rainforest is extremely cooling and peaceful. Thanks to the canopies provided by the gigantic rainforest trees. The great contrast in the conditions outside and inside the rainforest makes it even more magnificent and appealing to me.

It was about 12noon when i decided to head down to MacRitchie reservoir. There were very few ppl. In fact, I met not more than 5 ppl along my entire boardwalk journey. The waters are calm, the air is invigorating, while the sky is filled up with fluffy white clouds.

I took the trail instead of the boardwalk as my return path. It was a long peaceful walk. The only sound i could hear were those made by the different insects and my own footsteps. The place was cooling, with pockets of sunrays stealing their way to the forest gounds through the openings of the canopies. I probably met only 2 person throughout my entire journey. I enjoy being alone - alone but definitely not lonely.
