The rain in Spain, no.. I mean the rain in Bukit Timah...

Another super humid Sunday. It just rained a while and stopped.
The skies are still dark and am contemplating should I go up to the hill for a hike.

It will be super super humid at Bukit Timah Hill. It would be nice and sticky for those who yearn to sweat it out without doing much!

Bukit Timah (Hill)

The view (again, and this time with better resolution) of Bukit Timah. Bukit Timah already means Timah Hill when it's translated from Malay to English, but everyone calls it Bukit Timah Hill. Why? Coz most people do not understand what Bukit means.

It's also because the whole area is called Bukit Timah, so as to distinguish it the area and the hill itself, people call it Bukit Timah Hill.

This is the highest natural peak in Singapore and nature reserve around it is also home to many rare plants. Bukit Timah (Hill) is 163.63 metres tall. The nature reserve is around 163 hectares. (Source)

The tallest buildings in Singapore are 280 metres tall. (That's the currently allowed maximum heights for buildings in Singapore and there are 3 buildings with that height. That easily dwarfs the hill.

On a cold morning in Singapore...

Twas a misty morning.
Not haze though.

It was mist that was hovering over Bukit Timah.



It has been like this these few weeks.
Weather's changing!

Bukit Timah (Hill) and the transmission towers.

One of those blue skies days yet with bits of clouds.



Nice view isn't it? How much would you pay for this view if your house faces this view daily?

Bukit Timah (Hill) and the colourful houses below.
It isn't as near as you think it is.

The hazy view of Bukit Timah

Suddenly yesterday evening, the haze 'attacked' Singapore.

This was view of Bukit Timah (Hill) last night.
Slightly 'hazy' view of the hill because of the haze.



It's good that by Saturday morning (this morning), it's not so hazy anymore...

Tallest Hill in Singapore

It has been wet and cold day in Singapore. It is as if 'Someone' up there has turned the tap on and wants to water the earth.



The tallest hill in Singapore - Bukit Timah seems to have grown taller. It has reached the clouds level from this photo taken this morning.

The usual telecommunications tower is now hidden behind the clouds/mist/water vapor/whatever you call it.

By the way, there are more buildings in Singapore that's taller than Singapore's tallest hill. :-)
