Our First Combined company outing event which is usually held every quarter. Kinda like a get-together session...aka Team building + stress relieved for most of us. The objective is to walk the South Ridges from Kent Ridge Park..Started off at the HQ
A short briefing by the committee members and we are off....
The Walk started at around 3.30pm and we are suppose to take photos are various points for competition to win a "company product", make by us....!!....
Along the way, found some great photo-spots though...
Start-off point from Kent Ridge park, am quite surprise that I can see the sea from here....we must be at a pretty high (aka in singapore Context) elevation
Ships awaiting for Port-calls, could have been more crowded during bull run times...lol
Weather was hot at well, approximate 32C to 34C if I not wrong.....
Came upon a nice pinic spot, didn't know there is this kinda of "river" in the middle of a park...look so much like a reservoir.
Even "Christmas trees" can be found here in the park.
We approaches our first photo competition spot, but way too many people queuing....decided to give it a miss and move on down to an easier spot to take.
While walking in the "forest Trail" we took opportunity to take photos.....
Linda, Stella and me....from the Red Team.
We walk pretty fast, and reached Hort Park.....aka a park where all the factories are surrounding it....I saw NOL in the background.....(I must be Stock crazy!!)
With so many Tech company surrounding the park, no wonder the playground is electronic as well...!!
Spiral stairway...good inspiration for photos...turn out pretty good!!
We choosen this to be our competition entry, Alexandra bridge
This is the pose, I wasn't in the picture as I am the photographer here..lol
Knowing we are half way there ......the bridge is manificent though, I heard this bridge light up in blue at night.
A step of metal bridges is up ahead, don know what they call this...but walking across may scare those with height sickness as looking down at the gaps can he quite giddy...lol
See what I meant here, I standing on metal Platform some 10m above ground level
and Climbing is part of the requirement...for southern Ridges walk...in order to reach Henderson waves...
By Altitude, We are climbing up...the sea-view become clearer...as we walk....
A small sign on the floor and a direction sign pointing to an up-slope....is the destination
We will be having our Dinner up on the hill...some with a full-pack of rice/egg/vege/pork and fruits with a bottle of mineral water!!
But monkeys are all around on the Henderson waves and they are smarter than us...and grabbing our food..."chick" fellows....I stay away from these fellows as they can be quite temperamental. Saw it chase one of my collegues...for complaining against it....lol
Look for food the easy way, but stealing from us....
Daring isn't she, the monkey is just behind her...
As Henderson waves is the ending point, we decided to take shelter under all these arces and rest while waiting for dinner...in the meant time, took some time to take photos with colleagues which we work so close together...
Here, me with my fellow ES and Software Group
Whole branch of them, tired and resting....these are those that make your going to work worthwhile ....at least won't be feeling going to work is a drag..lol
sunny day ...man!!...aka...my seniors la.....(I meant no of years in the company) lol. Without them at work, a day can be so quiet..and lacking of funny jokes and pranks
"Fr" doing a trick..? nope...he trying to find a place to seat...lol
Doris,Waty, Mani, just back from their uphill walk...
4 of us really work closely trying to make our drives work...!!! and We can be really successfully at it...so Reliability shouldn't be a problem now...:-p
The evening concluded with ice-cream session, I actually ate 2 magnum. It's a long weekend ahead so it probably resting time for most of us...
