Hey N391! Something Else to look forward to is our first ever SubZone Event this coming 6th Dec 08! The B.M.W - "Big Mass Walk" We will be heading towards the Southern Ridges. Of course it would be more than walking but we might be able to look forward to a fun filled time of games and food! It is gonna be an awesome time of fellowship!

Today Ivan, Dawn, Karwen and myself went on a recce trip to check out the grounds.

Start Point from Harbour Front Mrt Exit D

Here is a little bit of knowledge on Discovering the Southern Ridges:

The Southern Ridges comprise of a 9km chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mt Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park.

It is an area filled with history and home to many flora and fauna. At the same time, it holds many of the best spots to catch panoramic views of Singapore's city, harbour and Southern islands.

Today we explored the two most prominent connections that stand proudly along the ridges:

Henderson Waves - Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge - spans Henderson Road to connect Mt Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park.

Henderson Wave Start Point

Henderson Wave From Below

This Magnificent Bridge is 36m above Henderson Road, its unique wave-form is made up of seven undulating curved steel "ribs" that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curve "ribs" form alcoves that functions as shelters with seats within.

Next up is the Alexandra Arch which looks like an opened leaf across the Alexandra Road.

Leading to two of these Fabulous bridges we had to walk through the Marang Trail which extends from Marang Road, just behind the Harboufront Mrt Station to the cable car station at the Jewel Box on Mt Faber.

After the Marang Trail we move on to the Faber Walk where we could take scenic pictures of Singapore. Well the rest of the scenic pictures i will leave the rest to upload Haha... Last thing to take note!
