Shunfu, Jalan Pemimpin & Bishan North
So back in August I decided to go for a quick walk one Sunday afternoon, somewhere not too far from where I lived: Shunfu, Jalan Pemimpin, perhaps as far as Bishan. The year so far hasn’t been a great one for walks. I’ve gone for walks far less frequently, and the walks I’ve been on…

Clementi Old and New: Casa Clementi, West Coast Court, Clementi Shine, and Pei Tong Primary
I have a sort of fondness for Clementi that comes from the fact that I spent a lot of time there in my 20s, a period of exploration in anybody’s life, mine no less so. I was pushing the boundaries of who I was, what I believed in, who I wanted to be. Clementi formed…

Springleaf Gardens estate
So it appears my inaugural post on this blog might actually be about a rather mundane walk I did through Springleaf Gardens estate last December. This is perhaps appropriate, given what I wrote on my about this blog page. I’m not promising that all my walks will be exciting. In fact, if I were trying to…
