Alexandra Arch and Henderson Wave (Night)

Yesterday night, I went to Alexandra Arch and Henderson Wave with 2 friends who are here for holidays. Show them the latest attraction here in Singapore. I was surprised to see couples were walking the trail at that hour. Brave!

My model of the year. Doing star-jump at Alexandra Arch.

See there are different colours !

I have seen so many bridges before, Alexandra Arch is considered one of unique type. With different lightings.

Didn't expect myself to be greeted by wood smell at Henderson Wave. Anyway the woods smell nice.

Milkrun 2008 - Running for a good cause

Once again, Milkrun 2008. (Milk - Mainly I Like Kids, the objective of this community event is to raise funds for kids. http://www.milkrun.sg/) This year, I have my friend to join me for the community run. It was 4.5km run!

There were more runners this year as compared to last year. Due to large crowd, we managed to finish the 4.5km in 50min. A bit slow I guess.





Welcome to Milkrun 2008. Organisers of this event were Beyond Social Service http://www.beyond.org.sg/ and MILK http://www.milk.org.sg/milk/index.php

Look at the crowds! This year seems to have more runners than last year.
Waiting to start the community run. It was fun to see so many people running for a good cause.

The gathering point, after the run.
Winners of the competitive runs, went to the stage to collect their prizes.

A mini carnival run by schools and various organisations. So join me in next year Milkrun.

Hort Park

Have you visited the latest attraction in town? The Hort Park! Yes, is the latest place of interests which you can visit with your family during weekends. Is a very nice place, with a lot of greenery, a place for green-lover! See photos below to believe.

Great view on the Hort Park!

Foreground is the carpet grass. Do you dare to sleep on it?
A beautiful art.

Water feature - to enhance the fengshui?
Nice mini garden.

Panda not in Beijing, but in Singapore.

Glass house that keeps all sort of plants. Currently, the glasshouse is used for experiment purposes for our future garden in Marina area.

Read to understand the concept of the glasshouse.

Nice structure.

This place reminds me of my stay in Australia.


Bamboos, I like bamboos especially when the wind blows, the sounds of the leaves bring me a sense of calmness.
Did you know that bamboos can be used to cure fengshui problems?

It is believed that if you sit in the centre of the lawn, you will leave the place with a new found you. Try to believe.

The challenge to complete the walk starts here. The Alexandra Arch! Is about 1.3km to complete the partial track.

Nice bends!
Slope.
Nice.

My guide for the walk was a squirrel, see the squirrel was ahead of me!

Hey, wait for me. My guide was gone!

Seaview.

Completed the walk from Alexandra Arch to Telok Blangah Hill Park. Now have to make a U-turn to go back to the Alexandra Arch. Total distance covered was 1.3km x 2 = 2.6km! Took me almost an hour to complete the whole "tour".

If you are going to try this walk, I strongly suggest that you start from the Telok Blangah Hill Park instead of Alexandra Arch. The journey from Telok Blangah Hill to Alexandra Arch will be downslope.

Donuts

Have you tried Krispy Kreme before?

Krispy Kreme is the name of well known donuts. Currently, there is no Krispy Kreme in Singapore. If you want to try Krispy Kreme, you have to fly to Australia, Hong Kong, Korea or State.

The first time I tried Krispy Kreme, I fell in love with it. They are simply nice!
