The Southern Ridges comprise a 9-kilometre chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park.
It is an area steeped in history and is home to some of nature's greatest gifts of flora and fauna. It is also one of the best spots in Singapore to catch panoramic views of the city, harbtour and the Southern Islands.

so today, darling and i went to the southern ridges. this morning it rained cats and dogs, and i was afraid that we may not be able to go, but thank goodness in the afternoon it stopped raining and the sun came out shining brightly, which made me perspire like mad throughout the 9 km walk. but well, i shall not complain, because sunshine is still better than rainfall.
we started the tour of the southern ridges at marang trail. the beginning of marang trail is found behind seah im food centre, which is at exit D of harbour front station.
MARANG TRAIL
from marang trail, we reached MOUNT FABER
and from mount faber, we walked quite a bit, and also ho lan a bit, but in the end we managed to reach our next destination, HENDERSON WAVES
next is the CANOPY WALK
after canopy walk is ALEXANDER ARCH.
we had a nice walk at Hort Park, which is being established as a garden hub. its a really nice place, with beautiful plants and flowers. their grass is very suitable for picnic, and i think the grass at fort canning park can go fly kite, because the grass at hort park is so short that you can lie down and wun feel the grass pricking your skin. so maybe nx time BUTS can be held at hort park, so that there is not a need to bring picnic mats.
hort park also has very interesting exhibits. we went inside a glass house, and i think this is the most ideal house, well-furnished, and has alot of greenery. i think everyone will love to stay in this kind of house.
and we saw some interesting animal sculptures in the form of leaves. we took pictures with them in different poses, which i think is quite funny. hahaha.
went to queensway shopping centre and i bought a pair of new street soccer boots (my yellow and green color adidas street soccer boots spoil already haiz ultimate sadness), and this time is white and blue color! i think i shall be more 低调 in wearing shoes, cannot always choose those shoes with very AA (attract attention) colors. i also bought a pair of nike tights for my half marathon this sunday.
and its home sweet home. lessons tmr at 830 am. seriously i quite enjoy going to sch as a student. cos i think this will most likely be my last chance as a student. unless in future i take up masters in physical education, maybe can go australia or taiwan. woo hoo. ok lah talk cock only. dun think it will happen. :p
