Happie Guppy Conquers The Southern Ridges

Another E.M.T.O Gang Adventure !

It all started one sunday evening after badminton with Kulcha, we were headed towards Pasir Panjang to hunt for food and along the way drove under this magnificent wavey bridge! (which i later learnt after googling that she was the Henderson Waves) Neeways my curiousity was piqued , and the itch to check it out grew too unbearable and so i emailed the E.M.T.O Gang .

Guppy memo : "Hear ye Hear ye for the benefit of - Kulcha who we shall start an initiation ceremony for during this activity - E.M.T.O - stands for Everything Must Try Once We've done Wakeboarding!We've done Clay shooting! Next!!!! This guppy is proposing we conquer the 9KM Southern Ridges! "

Moo Moo memo : " Sister, Bacha & I have been talking about this for a while – just wondering if YOU really wanna do tis. Am good to walk the 9km – u sure u wanna? LOL Now that you’ve volunteered….NO TURNING BACK AH!!!!!!"

Kulcha Memo : "There is no turning back, your asston wont be able to rescue u haha"

Ochayo Memo : " 24 oct is good for us! Picnic basket?? "

Guppy Memo : "Ochayo....you are carrying the basket everywhere the full 9km issit? :S Kulcha you dont all talk no action okay...u better turn up...even if u have to gayly carry an umbrella.. i will close both eyes...hahahah... likely will drag tropical pig to this adventure...he likes these tree jungle walk around things..."

and then there was talk of lugging a trolley, astronaut umbrellas, more picnic baskets. lugging of professional camera equipments...shooting of deserters who may want to attempt to run away from this hike.... it just went on and on and on...but eventually.

And 6 shall come forward for this Quest!

YES on the 24th October at 245pm on a blistering HOT and humid Saturday afternoon the 6 of us gathered...at HORT PARK. The beginning point of this madcap adventure!

Kulcha really gayly brought along a huge 7 eleven brolly and SUNBLOCK OMG! our dearest Anthon lugging his rainbow colored straw bag holds on tight to Kulcha as they both strike a pose. Here we go Here we go Here we go...and yes the 2 steam chickens ventured out on this quest under the protection of the magical 7 eleven brolly
I experienced inspiration, awe, excitement, then heart sinking regret when i saw the huge metal brige structures...oh my gawd WE ARE GONNA HIKE ALLL THE WAY UP ?!? where? Trudge trudge trudge ...

Guppy : " moan moan #%%&&vmoan..."
Guppy :" are we there yet ?"

Guppy :" somebody just shoot me now" moan moan moan oh my gawd WE ARE GONNA HIKE ALLL THE WAY UP ?!? where?

Finally we reached our first pitstop..where i realised moomoo and Ochayo brought along BIG ice filled buckets of WATER! and they were lugging them around?! While the men were walking ? huh ?

after we rehydrated ourselves , caught our breaths and cooled off..It was time for more CAMWHORING!

Oooo this is my fav shot of the gang - Does this not look like the Cover shot for a super hero series or one of those J tv serial group shots? I diff characters have diff poses.? ahahaha super love this shot!

Onward we shall march on our quest! Henderson Waves Sighted!!! but how do we get on it? grrrrrrr!!! got more to walk walk walk walk!

Anthon : "Assume your places people...come on take your positions!? Who belongs to whom? positions positions"

" God of Gamblers..does not take full frontal face shots.." declares Anthon

Yesh we made it! we made it to the Henderson Waves...!!

Exhausted Guppies cam whoring under the merciless hot sun....i keel me! stooopid idea for an outing?! aaaaaaaaaa hot hot hot

Porkchop explores the bridge walls... mmmm kitties will like this place...

A moment of zen for moomooo...

Dunno what to make of this two...i think the heat really got to Anthon. he was ....abit nuts...when it comes to posing for the guppy cam wah! another super saleable pic..ch-ching! But seriously i only noticed that Kulcha was even more steamed chicken whiter than moo. Goodness. is that even possible? I am convinced. sun and sand...mmmm not suitable for this two to holiday...they might cook...shrivel and burn under direct sunlight...hahahahah lucky for gay 7eleven umbrella

We finished the Henderson waves then paused to get our bearings...

A decision was finally made - we shall hike up Mt faber, and go grab a lil snack at the Jewel Box...

The road is long....it was a looong journey uphill to get to the top of mt faber where ice cream , ice cold bear, ice cold colas, and sweets await our motley crew... Ochayo...cam whoring ....such a colourful nice view... I want that pink hat! aaaa!

Cheers!!! Heres to another successful E.M.T.O adventure!!!!

And now for the journey backto Hort Park where we parked our rides..grrrr i tried real hard to convince the gang that taxis are our friends...but nobody would listen...they all wanted to hike the entire return journey back...boooooo!!!!!

Luckily there was an Ice cream vendor by the roadside on the journey back...Guppies love ice cream!!! that cheered us all up and momentarily distracted this little guppyfrom the RETURN JOURNEY OF DOOM!

bOOO I wanted corn flavoured ice cream and got rasp berry instead...booooo

at least somebodys enjoying his rasp berry cone ice cream...

Happie Yum Yums! I WANT THAT PINK HAT DAMMIT!

Moo got a big slab...yes slabs are the way to go...ultimate ultimate bite size!

the gang nibbling on ice cream as we journeyed on

By now the evening sun was setting...it was still pretty warm but it was finally not BURNING hot...gosh...definitely more bearable

We took a couple of short cuts....down frightfully high and steep flights of metal stairways...Guppies are afraid of heights...so porkchop had to hold her haand and stand in front of her as we went down...

Alllmost there! will we make it?

YESH WE DID.......

We finally made it back to HORT park ALIVE...just in time as the evening sun sets and the sky gets dimmer.... Ochayo happi;ly posing with some giant fruit thing...

We did well guys!!!! Although we didnt do the full 9kms it was still a worthwhile and eye opening journey!

What other adventures await the E.M.T.O gang? stay tuned true believers!
