Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 80. An extremely hot and sunny day after the many days of rain. Not many animals spotted except for (likely) 2 white-bellied sea eagles circling in the sky, monitor lizards and 1 extremely fast flying tiny yellow bird. I also spotted a dead squirrel laid down on the grass beside the path, which was very sad. 😢 #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CprfcSwOuG1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 79. Today is a windy and sunny day. The wind was so strong that I couldn’t hear my podcast on my earphones. See how the tail of the squirrel sway in the strong winds. Didn’t observe many animals today. #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHajoVOrwV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 78. After a month long hiatus from feasting, back to walking. This time a different location, Windsor Nature Park. We were first greeted by wild boars and many flowing streams. There were many interesting trees, such as the tree with dragon scales-like structure and tree with curly trunks. There were also many dumb canes, which was not a common thing in the other nature parks. There were also no lack of squirrels and macaques. If you don’t know how a squirrel sounds, you can watch the second last video in this post. #briskwalking #windsornaturepark #hiking #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Windsor Nature Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cozf2rqSxEI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 77. #latergram I realized I forgot to post my walk on last Sunday! I started the walk earlier than usual, so it was a cooling walk. Fewer animals came out but had a surprising find of the long-tailed parakeet! (See last photo) There were 3-4 of them, chirping happily on the tree! #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cni8M8WSrKU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 76. #latergram First official walk of 2023 yesterday! Such a hot day! I was afraid that I would get a headache after the walk. Thankfully I didn’t. Surprisingly, a number of animals came out to play on such a hot day. But no special animals spotted. #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnMJwuEukwV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 75. The last walk of Year 2022 with more than 30K steps! Started out from the Rifle Range Nature Park. Seems like many people would like to end off their year in the nature too…there were so many people at the nature park and the queue to the Colugo Deck was like the Causeway to JB 🤣. We skipped the deck and continued the trails with an unexpected walk from Bukit Timah to Macritchie Reservoir. We saw many macaques (or better known monkeys) along the way, with them living alongside us, Humans. I also finally went to the Treetop Walk, and me being afraid of heights, was shaking all the way. 😱 This is definitely the longest that I have walked/hiked (4+hours, with occasional stops) and a milestone unlocked! Onward to a healthier 2023! #briskwalking #walking #hiking #riflerangenaturepark #macritchiereservoir #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #macaques #monkeys #iwalktoeat (at Rifle Range Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1cl90y4S6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 74. Christmas Eve walk! Walking to walk off the feasting that already happened and more food to come this holiday season. Spotted Pied Fantails and a lone Macaque today. Surprisingly no monitor lizard was spotted. #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #butterfly #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmigXQ9SycU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 73. #latergram Did the walk/jog yesterday, knowing that I won’t be able to wake up early today morning (Mayday Mayday!) Spotted the #serangoonparkconnectordogs , monitor lizards and birds (Striated Heron and Kingfisher which I missed to take as it flew off). #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #butterfly #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clus6IKS-4o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 72. #latergram Woke up early on last Saturday and had a wonderful jog/walk. Spotted many animals, including: Julia heliconian butterfly, a white-breasted waterhen climbing trees (I didn’t know that they were so agile!), Piped Fantail and a tiny Striated Heron? A fruitful walk! #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #butterfly #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClhnR0AS54a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 71. A really very sunny day today. I sure had loads of Vitamin D, making up for the past weeks. Saw monitor lizards, butterfly (likely a Swallowtail?), white-breasted water hen and the rare appearance of macaques who were not very friendly. Bared their teeth at passing dogs as well. #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #butterfly #macaques #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClL994Jyken/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 70. #latergram Few animals spotted as I started late on the Saturday morning. It was a cloudy day. Spotted a very agile squirrel, one monitor lizard and heard the chattering of the white-breasted water hens. Don’t ask me what’s the song in the background. It wasn’t from me. 😂 #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck5-ywFS_b2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For this year’s birthday, my mum asked me what kind of cake would I like. After many days of consideration, I still couldn’t make up my mind. Finally, I proposed durian cake and my sister counter proposed with fresh durians. And off we go to @lexus.durianking to shop for durians. We went at the right time when the fresh batch of Musang durians from Pahang (picked today morning, braving 8 hours of lorry ride to Singapore) came in. These are 貓山王 神仙果. Hopefully, my family, friends and I can be 快乐似神仙 for the year! And yes, instead of cake cutting, I had the honour of opening the durian. #nobirthdaycake #durianforbirthday #birthday #whatshallwehavefornextyear https://www.instagram.com/p/CkV-QFKSjNJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 69. Getting back to my walking on my birthday! I started late so there aren’t many animals spotted. Spotted the julia heliconian butterfly (it’s non-native to Singapore!), white-breasted waterhen and Piped Fantail. #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat #juliaheliconian #pipedfantail (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkV1K6DSsF8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 68. Had skipped a month of walking due to bad weather and being unwell. Back on walking. Cloudy weather with slight drizzle when I set out. Only spotted one gigantic terrapin. Walked half the distance I usually did at the park connector and clocked my second half of the distance walking to takeaway lunch. 😬 #briskwalking #serangoonparkconnector #sungeiserangoonparkconnector #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout #animalspotting #birdswatching #iwalktoeat (at Serangoon Park Connector) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkDKRyJOg-8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekly dose of Vitamin D, Week 66. #latergram Cycled from Changi Jurassic Mile 🦕 to East Coast Park 🏖 to Marina Bay Sands 🏙 on last Saturday. Saw many people camping ⛺️ at the ECP beach and many more people doing kiteboarding. Took a little break at East Coast Commune and feasted on great cake and tart. 🤤 Ended being really tired, with sore butts, knees and lower back. Explains why I haven’t posted until now. 😂 #briskwalking #changijurassicmile #eastcoastparksingapore #eastcoastcommune #vitaminD #gettingthesun #caloriesincaloriesout (at Changi Jurassic Mile) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIFELKrL_V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
