Segar to CCK

This route starts from Segar LRT. It is a 90% PCN route. The original plan is to do a 100% PCN but decide to deviate a bit and go through Chestnut area instead.

The route started with a bit directional confusion. The GPS is also quite unstable at the begining. Anyhow, there is nothing much to mention along the way until the route goes along KJE. A group of people built a permanent race course for Radio controlled model car. Further down, there is even a wooden BMX track for those kids who likes the feeling of flying on a very uneven course. It is called Gravitize Adventure Zone.
The ZhengHua PC is actually a park.
Since there is no big flowers to look at, I began looking for tiny flowers.  Common Asystasia is available all over the place.
An even smaller one is Creeping Ruellia.
After walking a while, caught sight of this flower called Akar Mempelas. Nice flower and bulb.
The route continues without any other nice plants or features to catch hold of till this super tiny Malayan Eyebright. It is so small (less than 5 mm) that one can easily walked by without noticing. Luckily my cheapo Nicon can zoom in. It took several try to get this slightly blurred picture.
Sulphur Alder or White Adler flower picture is taken along Chestnut Ave besides a condo showroom.
Two Hibiscus flower is taken along the unknown PC.
This Lavender Sorrel picture is taken along Hillview Rd.
Oriental Hawksbeard is another tiny road side flower. I like the fluffy seed.
This Ruellia simplex sticks out of some condo's fence. It is so unique that I can't help but take a picture of it.
Saw this Green Aralia flower along the Little Guilin area. The white balance is abit out. This is the first time I saw the flower.
How could I not take the picture of the Little GuiLin.
The trip ended at Chua Chu Kang MRT. It is about 10 KM. The walking speed is slightly fast (2.5hr).

The GPS trail map is here.

The full picture album is at Picasa Web

P.S The flora names was easy to find. It is the first time I am able to complete the search within hours since I started to take pictures of flora and naming them.
