S'pore on foot

We thought that National Day was a nice excuse to explore one of the yet to be explored "hidden gems" of Singapore - Pearl Hill Park. It's unbelievable how hundreds of people mill around Chinatown and SGH but never seem to notice this ancient(creepy) park in the middle. Guess what's in the the centre of the park? This walled-up reservoir and I mean walls the height of fortress walls! Kaypoh me was inclined to scout acound a little more but chickened out when I remembered we were going to catch Orphan at midnight.

I've come to appreciate the mini S'pore flags given out in primary school and which we took for granted and chucked the moment we stepped out of school. Not only did we have a hard time finding one but the specimen we bought from Sheng Shiong was badly made from cheap plastic. Glad it's not that obvious from the pics!

The weather was hot and neither TR (who probably owns thousands of them) nor I (who buys hundreds of it) had with us a rubber band for the hair! Oh well, no one can blame me for not being patriotic :)
