All in All

Hi folks, I kind of wrote a chunk so I'm dividing it into 3 posts. :)

My group embarked on the Bukit Timah heritage trail on 30^th January 2010. Prior to the day of the trail, each of us did research on the history of the various historical sites and road names. I would say that reading the compiled research heightens my interest and excitement to go on the trail. (definitely not a PC response!!!) This is because it is amazing to realize that an area of Singapore where I once frequent (Bukit Timah) actually holds so much significance and importance in the past. On the whole, the trail definitely increased my knowledge of the history of Bukit Timah region and the significant people whom many of the road names were named after. It provided a background and awareness that Singapore do have its own story, its own history to narrate. Most importantly, it prompted me to want to find out more about the history of other places in Singapore instead of taking for granted and being ignorant like before.

I thought the trail was more like a bonding session for my group members and I. Though the traffic was pretty bad but I was glad and relieved that we manage to complete it within 5 hours. Am thankful for the great weather (though it was a little too hot at times) and the great company! Also, we manage to tour around the few international schools. It was interesting to see how these international schools differ in their classroom layouts and decoration from the local schools. It is indeed a memorable and fruitful outing! :D
