The Southern Ridges comprise a 9-kilometre chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park.
However, Bob & I only complete from Telok Blangah Hill Park till Mount Faber Park..

*FOREST WALK*

Forest WalkDistance: 1.3 km

Walking Time: 20 mins
The Forest Walk, a steps-free elevated walkway with earth trails meanders through some 50 metres through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill and connects to Alexandra Arch. The raised walkway with heights ranging from 3 to 18 metres brushes the canopy of trees and offers a bird’s eye view of the forest. The modules of the elevated walkway derived their design from the triangular-shaped leaves of the fast-growing “Mile-a-Minute” plant. The ground level earth trails offer a more rugged experience, bringing you closer to the wildlife found in the area.

*HENDERSON WAVES*

Henderson WavesDistance: 0.3 km
Walking Time: 05 mins
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.


Faber TrailDistance: 1.0 km
Walking Time: 15 mins
Faber Walk meanders through Mount Faber Park, one of the oldest parks in Singapore, and ends at the Henderson Waves. The slopes of this 56-hectare park are covered by dense secondary rain forest, and are home to many interesting plants and fauna. At its peak the park offers panoramic views of the southern part of Singapore and the Southern Islands. At night, the park transforms into one of the more romantic spots on the island, where people can enjoy a breathtaking sight of the city’s twinkling lights and ships at sea.

*MARANG TRAIL*

Marang TrailDistance: 0.8km

Walking Time: 15 mins

This trail extends from Marang Road, just behind the Harbourfront MRT Station to the cable car station at the Jewel Box on Mount Faber. An easy walk of steps and shaded footpaths through secondary forest, Marang Trail covers an elevation of 70 metres (or the equivalent of a 24-storey building).

I just returned back from my sis's wedding held at the hilltop..Finally, its over..We are all totally drained off..Can you imagine that we all have to wake up real early just because of this joyous occasion?My mum did not sleep last night..She is a robot..
I personally feel that wedding dinners can forgo as it waste time & money..
I would rather plan on a long honeymoon instead if i were to get married..
