In Heidelberg again.
What started out as a usual jogging routine become an adventure (or misadventure). The hands (pic: left hand only) were evidence of the little climbing excursion through Heidelberg...literally. I was jogging up the Philosophen Weg (where many a young local is said to have lost their heart...and virginity, along the walkway), where I thought, why not walk up further? So impatient little me did it the commando way; starting point: down here, finishing point: up there, therefore bashed through the thickets and marched (or crawled) straight up unbashedly to the top.
That was alright....the view from the top was COOL....especially from the look-out tower...
Coming down was however, ahem, a little problematic. Fell and slided several times and nearly broke into someone's fence in process....
PHEW...fun. Gotta do it again. Folks, trust Nike. The lovely running suit, which I bought for 50 Euros here, saved my skin literally during the falls.
Oh but it's not advisable to try this stunt with Bukit Timah. The soil in tropical rainforest is disgusting....so ahem....if interested, come to Heidelberg and we'll do it together. *wink
The little treasures collected during the misadventure.
I'm going flower-crazy....the flowers are absolutely lovely...but they probably appear normal to the locals here. Reminds me of how contradicting we humans are; things in abundance are usually taken for granted, only to be felt when they are in scarcity....
I'm now a proud owner of a many-hands bike that fits me perfectly.....we're meant for each other. I learnt a little about the German etiquette though. Arranging to meet the saler is usually quick and decisive, and during the meeting, try to keep to only shop talk and nothing else. I think I might have nearly asked too many irrelevant questions i.e do you live here, or work here, or what do you work as...blah blah... PHEW. Close Shave I think.
Again a blessed day. Gonna figue developmental biology out.
P/S Ppl, if you're cool, SENT ME A CARD! Europa-Haus III, Plöck 58 69117 Heidelberg, Stockwerk: EG, Zimmer Nr: 06. Address to Lim, Yan Ting. They would all become VERY-MUCH Appreciated Decorations on the wall. =) *big watery pleading eyes.
