Finally, I get my chance to go up

The last time I went to MacRitchie Reservoir, my main objective was to circle the entire trail around MacRitchie Reservoir and climb the (then) highest suspension bridge in Singapore - the Treetop Walk. Unfortunately, some of my friends were late and we didn't get to climb up to the bridge because we had plans for the afternoon.
My 2nd trip to the area was with Qiuping's friends. This time, our objective is purely to climb the Treetop Walk. I was hoping to get a bit more out of the trek, but perhaps Qiuping's friends had plans for the afternoon.
Nevertheless, I tried to make the most out of my trip there.

I think anyone who has brought a camera up there would have taken a shot at this angle. It's becoming a necessary certification to prove that one has been to the Treetop Walk before (been there, done that).
Walking the trail was supposed to allow one a chance to get a closer look at the floral and fauna of a tropical rainforest - though some claim that Singapore has no rainforest left - but you have to be rather discreet about it because loud noises scare most animals away.
Our group was anything but quiet, although I still managed to spot some interesting things, the first one being:
A cute little bear spotted on the Treetop Walk!

Nature walks provide good opportunities for macro shots. Unfortunately, I don't have a steady hand and some of my shots were rather poor and had to be deleted away.
The Treetop Walkers
We spent less than 3 hours walking around the place, but we were all feeling hungry after emerging from the forest. Lunch venue was decided on the Prata House along Upper Thomson Road. Some of us remarked:
"The amount of energy spent on walking is hardly on par with the energy we're getting from the pratas we're about to consume".
How true.
