Woke up at an ungodly 5.30am on Sunday 12 Feb to join Kenneth and the toddycats on a nature and historical walk around Kent Ridge Park and beyond. The walk was to commemorate the fall of Singapore to the Japanese.
I got to the bus stop at 6.20am thinking that I would get a bus to NUS. Waited for a good 20mins before realising that buses probably aren't that frequent on Sunday mornings. 'Ordered' a taxi (had to wait some time too) and got to NUS at 7am.
The walk started at a quarter past 7am or something like that, and it started with a briefing telling us what we were going to see and the historical background of the ridge. I never knew that the ridge was formerly known as 'Pasir Panjang Ridge'. The fact that it was a ridge never crossed my mind too. I just thought that NUS was in a strange part of Singapore which was still hilly and haven't been leveled to reclaim more land.
