Singapore Upside Down!
by Aunt_Bertha
A few days after I had returned home from my fascinating trip to Singapore, I received a most meaningful postcard from Singapore sent by Ernie Oei Choon Guan. You can't possibly imagine how puzzled I was since I had never encountered any Ernie Oei Choon Guan in my whole life - neither virtually nor while walking on the surface of the earth. I didn't have the faintest clue who Ernie might be. How did he know about my existence and my home address? What's even more bizarre is the fact that the Singapore postcard he had sent me was upside down! For a while I was wondering if this was a super top secret message exclusively for me - a message that sadly I failed to decode. And then, out of the blue, it occurred to me to google Ernie Oei Choon Guan - and whaddya know? I found out that a large number of this planet's residents had also received upside down postcards from Ernie Oei Choon Guan....

The Southern Ridges (6): Henderson Walk
by cal6060
Henderson Bridge is the connection bridge between Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park. It is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It is 36m above Henderson Road. This bridge is made out of slats of yellow bakau wood. It has distinctive wave-like structures consisting of series of undulating curves "ribs". Many locals and some tourist likes to come here for jogging, enjoying views, and hanging out with friends. After Henderson Walk, I continued to explore the Faber Walk and visit the Jewal Box, Sentosa Cabal Cars.

After the Forest Walk, You can continue to walk to Terrance Garden at the top of Telok Blangah Park.

The Southern Ridges (4): Forest Walk
by cal6060
During the entire Southern Ridges experience, I think Forest Walk is the best as it has impressive steel bridge for the 1.3KM distance along an rain forest. It was very quiet, and not many people know these place, only few local residence doing jogging, and bird watching along the trail. I have told some of my Singaporean friends about this place, none of them has been here. The bridge was tall, and you can get a good views of different angles of Singapore. There were some local houses on Preston Road, beautiful houses surrounded by tall and green trees. The Residents can enjoy the walk on the bridge in front of their houses. Don't miss...After the Forest Walk, you can continue to walk up to Hilltop Walk, where you can see Singapore on higher ground.

The Southern Ridges (2): Hort Park
by cal6060
After the Canopy- Walk turn right before the Condominium, you need to walk down the stair to continue your walk to Floral walk. Floral walk is just an walking path in a open park. Locals love jogging and walking around enjoying the green park. After the Floral walk, you enter into Hort Park. Hort Park is a more established park in term of facilities, education, and retail activities. First, I passed by the Glass House. It has cool and dry temperature and suitable to plant species from Mediterranean regions. And then, I continued discovered more things in the Park including the Butterfly Garden, some local exhibitions of horticultural , and a beautiful building with classrooms, Visitor Information Center, restaurants, and cafes. It take you few hours to see it all in this park.After Hort Park, I continued walking to Alexandra Arch.

The Southern Ridges (1): Kent Ridge Park
by cal6060
Kent Ridge Park is just next to National University of Singapore. You can either take the MRT to Buona Vista Station, then take the bus 200 to South Buona Vista Road, or walk from National University of Singapore. If you walk from University of Singapore, you will pass through historical site during WW II. I started my Southern Ridges walk from Kent Ridge Park. I took the bus from the MRT station, and reached the Park. The park was very quiet , not crowded at all even during public holiday. From the eastern side of the Park is where the Canopy Walk begins. Their signboards are quite good, so you will not miss it. It is a beautiful wooded bridge surrounded by rain forests. You could see pitcher plants and wild orchid along the trail, and hear the birds. In the middle of the bridge, you can see the view of Bukit Chandu, and to learn the history at the "Reflection of Bukit Chandu" Museum at...

Nice Cool Morning Fresh Air
by walterwu
A walk around the MacRitchie Reservoir in the early morning for some nice cool fresh air is truly an experience.The air is very freshing in the early morning at about 7:00am and the temperature is nice until about 10:00am.In addition to the boardwalks, they have introduced the new submerged boardwalk where you can get your feet (up to ankle level) wet walking across it.kayaking is allowed and so is fishing with artificial lure.
