Recently, I attempted the 9-km walk among The Southern Ridges in Singapore. I managed to cover substantially Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park. Rain and darkness prevented me from going further to Kent Ridge Park. Still, I enjoyed myself tremendously feeling close to nature and revelling in the views from Henderson Waves and Forest Walk.
