I live in Bukit Batok for more than 1o years. I am ashamed to say that I have been to Bukit Batok Nature Park less than five times. It is within walking distance from my home, yet I seldom go there to enjoy a break from the bustling city life.
I always give excuses such as the park will still be there next week, the weather is so hot and wait for a cooler and cloudy day to come, the bed is so comfortable and I deserve another couple hours of sleep during the weekend, why should I go there to feed the mosquitoes etc.
Last Sunday, I gave up a couple hours of my sleep and my favourite cartoon "Doraemon", put on my jogging shoes which were hidden in the dark corner of my store room and started walking briskly to Bukit Batok Nature Park.
The Park was already quite crowded with people, both young and old. Some people were jogging, others simply walking and chatting with their family members or friends. Some brought their pets and what a good time when both owner and pet exercise together. Isa brought her favourite blue bike.
Near the lake, there is a big playground and sandpit. There is a morning exercise session organised by 2 seniors at about 8.30am. A lot of people simply join the morning exercise.
We sweat a lot and it was quite a refreshing experience after the morning exercise.
On our way home, we went to the coffee shop to have our brunch. It was quality time spent with my family.
If the weather is dry, I will make a date with Bukit Batok Nature Park every Sunday.
