Beauty World, Toh Yi, Eng Kong, Cheng Soon, and environs
I’ll be honest: 2023 wasn’t a great year for walking for me. I’m not entirely sure why. I just didn’t go for anywhere near as many walks as I did previous years. New hobbies, new priorities, that take up time on the weekend, perhaps. Which is not to say I didn’t go walking at all.…

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…

Bugis to Novena
The walks I go on are seldom very rigorously planned to begin with. Sometimes they happen more or less spontaneously. This particular Saturday in March this year, I found myself in Bugis with a couple of hours to spare, and decided I’d make a detour on the way home, walking to Novena and catching the…

Woodleigh Park, Carmichael Road, and Braddell Heights
After months of endless wet weather, things finally started to look drier this February. Turns out, I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up too high. February ended up being a pretty rainy month still. All the same, I did manage to go for a couple of walks, including one centred around Woodleigh Park. I’d had…

University Road Estate
After three consecutive blog posts about walks from my backlog, finally, here’s one that I did this year. On 23 Feb 2023, I went for a walk around what I’m going to call “University Road Estate”. I have no idea if this is its official name. I wasn’t able to find one, even though I’m…

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…
