Windsor Again!

Ah, here we are once again, nearing stupid o'clock, and itching to write something.

Recently, I went back to Windsor Nature Park, this time with friends from TGCO. I like walks, and this was no exception. Unlike a a similar trip nearly 4 years to the month, we didn't really circum-navigate all the trails that Windsor Nature Park had to offer, but sort of bee-lined towards the Tree Top Walk trail.

Oh, and our starting point wasn't at the main entrance at Venus Dr, but at Thomson Plaza itself.

The walk was fairly uneventful, except for more than my personally acceptable quantity of people due to it being a public holiday---I almost always prefer going for long walks (or cycles!) at ``odd hours'' where there were few people around. Part of the reason is to better enjoy the recreation area without having to deal with clueless ``casuals'' who are obviously transplanted so hard from their usual place that they act thoughtlessly and carelessly (for example, not keeping to the left of the fucking path), and part of the reason is that I just don't like being in places with too many people as a whole.

Seriously, the ``filthy casuals'' we passed by spanned from singing out loud to playing music on some bloody radio, all in a nature park, even when it is stated up front that these were not the right kinds of behaviours at the big-ass notice board at the entrance of the park proper.

But like everything in life, rules/regulations/laws that aren't enforced are basically worthless, and as long as there were no enforcement, bad behaviours like that are expected to continue, courtesy and public conscientiously be damned.

And people wonder why society is on the downhill...

And that's about what I wanted to write about. There's nothing else that is worth talking about for the moment. Just wanted to make a note that I had been to Windsor Nature Park again slightly four years since I was last there. Thomson Plaza itself is hella different, with many new shops, a new sense of vibrancy. I didn't actually walk through the place partly due to the company I was with, and partly because after merely walking for some 7+km, my legs were sore, and I just wanted to go home, which is damn funny considering that I can ``easily'' (for very loose definitions of ``easily'') cycle some 60+km before I feel like my legs are dead.

And I do prefer cycling more than walking, and only because it allows me to go farther, faster. The key drawback of cycling? I still need to move my damn bicycle with me at the end of the day, which is still a pain even if it is a foldable.

Till the next update then.
