It's all coming to an end.... soon.... haiz....

It has always been my favourite post-workout 'spa'.... where refreshingly-cool natural spring water is used to erase remnants of a muddy, sweaty, at times bloody, excursion in the forest trails....where the waters wash off and return mud on my machine back to the lush ecosystem that is Bukit Timah hill forest....where I converse using my broken dialect with elders who had been bathing using the same water a scant 60 years ago.... now, modern development has forced the need for yet even more bungalows and private houses in the upmarket Bukit Timah area.... such that even the very last piece of primitive forest in our island has to give way and sacrifice a part of itself.... in the beautiful sunset I try to capture my memories of this little cove before it is bulldozed into chips of brick and cement and mud....

Some uncles and aunties swear that this water, runoff from the BT hill, has wonderful qualities that can cure illnesses and promote health....
