Mark down Saturday 19 July 2008 in your calendar - that’s when the Pasir Panjang Heritage Trail is on!
Held in support of Singapore HeritageFest, this year the Pasir Panjang Guides will be conducting two walks on that day. We’ll be focusing on the question: who’s your hero?
We’ll start at the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research in NUS, make our way to Kent Ridge Park and end at Reflections at Bukit Chandu. Of course, if you’ve got the time and energy, you can continue through the Southern Ridges!
As we walk, you’ll hear about who (and what!) the guides find heroic (or maybe even villainous..) in the Pasir Panjang area.
Join us for the walk!

One of the blogs I enjoy reading most is Lam Chun See’s Good Morning Yesterday. His blog has been nominated among the Top 10 individual blogs in omy’s (as in ‘Oh my!’, I think) Singapore Blog Awards 2008.
If you enjoy reading his blog, as I do, show your support!
Vote for him* at the Singapore Blog Awards website. You can vote once a day for a blogger in each category.
If you’ve never checked out his blog before, what are you waiting for? He and his guest bloggers will tell you lots of things about Singapore in days of yore which you never knew. It’s chock full of stories and photos.
Someone else who deserves to be among the Top 10 individual blogs is LaoKokok. He blogs at Times of My Life. (Another heritage blog with a Paul Anka inspired title.) He’s kept lots of stuff from his younger days and shares them with his readers. Even though you can’t vote for him, you might want to read his blog. If you like Good Morning Yesterday, you’ll probably enjoy Times of My Life.
* For accountability (I suppose), you have to give up your personal information like your IC number. A small price to pay for making sure that the online voting is fair.

Envirofest 2008 is on this weekend. It will be held in the open area in front of Toa Payoh Community Library from 11am to 8pm on Sat 28 and Sun 29 June.
Lots of nature and environment groups will be there! Me? I’m going to be at the Toddycats booth from opening to 2pm on both days.
Hmmm… what’s this SWITCH mentioned in the banner? Apparently, it stands for Simple Ways I can Take to Change my Habits.

South-west Singapore is relatively hilly terrain. Nothing to shout about in terms of height above sea-level, but as NUS students and staff will tell you, there is a reason why it is called Kent Ridge.
As a Pasir Panjang Guide, I was delighted to read that the bridges linking the Southern Ridges have been officially opened. Now, we have almost unobstructed access to the various parks in south-west Singapore thanks to the bridges which span Alexandra Road and Henderson Road respectively.
ST produced an excellent infographic (click on the image above to see it in its full glory) and an accompanying article, which can be found at Pasir Panjang Stories.
Blogging kaki Walter has already run up those hills!
Me, I’ll walk.
