Join us in this last walk of 2013…  to a place filled with war history
nuggets and beauty! preserved, retained, yet seamlessly merged
with modern ammenities to provide a haven for all to enjoy.

Let the sounds of music from the sea;
the songs from a variety of feathered species;
the cool of sea breeze; the flutter of wings;
the beauty of a variety of blooms;
bring to you, a sense of calm and rest!

We will transverse along the coastline from man-made boardwalk into the
forest, filled with historical relics – an open-air museum that showcased
underground bunkers and gun batteries from WW II.

The surrounding area projects peace and solitude that brings a sense of
relief and thankfulness that the guns had ceased fire long ago and battles
are no longer fought!        {sigh}

The sight of artists capturing the gorgeous views over the sea;
fishermen preparing their fishing baits or trying their luck,
families and friends enjoying, yet another natural oasis.

With a panoramic view, it is indeed “THE place to watch sunset!”

Let us linger for a moment along the coastal front, be soothed, be lulled by
the wonders of nature and revel in this scenic view of vast sea and greenery…

Dine & Home Sweet Home will be in the Nature Reserve itself – Eco Gourmet Cafe comes highly recommended OR next to Labrador MRT (CC27) Alexandra Retail Centre(ARC) with a selection of Japanese/Chinese restaurants; Komala’s, cafes, etc

Note:
1)  For your own safety, come in comfortable footwear, no slippers/sandals.
2)  Protect oneself with sun screen, sunglasses, caps, mosquito repellant
3)  Besides umbrella, bring a disposable raincoat (though we pray for good weather)
4)  Hydrate with a bottle of drinking water.
5)  **In nature reserves — leave nothing behind and take nothing away
except memories through your lenses.

  28. Hi Christina & Charles,

    Thank you both for organizing this walk. Christina, we appreciate your leading us along the pleasant scenery and giving history lessons at its historical site before taking the steep stairs to the canon.Good timing too for the public bus to arrived when we just ended. We also enjoy dinning with you all at the Esplanade listening and watching William David and friends performance.

    Stay Healthy! Be Happy! :)

  29. Saturday morning 08Nov, I was awaken by the rain… it rained and rained, not heavy but enough to cause anyone to want to stay indoors…then, I recalled the past days there was no rain at least in the SW! I said a little pray! It stopped! Shortly after, it started to pitter patter again! It continued so for a couple of hours. As I was leaving my home, my neighbor who was standing at her door said “it is raining!”… oh yea, but it will stop soon….” I replied with a smile. It did! HE is so good!
    Everyone who had registered before 8Nov 4:09 came! Thank you!
    I did not log in again… for those who registered after 4.10 or later… thanks for coming too!

    Gracias!
    Christina
