Bukit Timah!

Bukit Timah! A beautiful and peaceful place, where you can relax and forget about work and school. Probably the most rural and best sub-urban neighbourhood in Singapore!



                             But before you really want to know more, you must
                             learn about the history of Singapore, just like learning
                             about the egg first, then the chicken. But really, which
                             comes first, the chicken, or the egg.


                            A long time ago, maybe not so long, but long time ago...
                            Bukit timah, was all trees and grasses...

                          


                               However, then came the Japanese and WWII...
                               This place was used as a fighting ground...

                            
                                But once things were settled. then Bukit Timah
                                started becoming a neighbourhood. But don't worry,
                                Bukit Timah is safe and not a cemetary. In fact, it is
                                a memorial for those brave soldiers who fought with
                                their lives and with hope that someday, Singapore
                                can become a successful city for people to live in!


                                             Beautiful right!
                            
 

The Botanic Gardens!!!

                                       Ah, the mini Niagara Falls!
                                      
                                  What a wonder!

                                        Nice? A stadium!


                                        The pathway!!!
                                  

                                        Where are the butterflies?
                                        There they are...
                                        
                                        

The Railway!



                                              Wierd right, these tracks
                                              are parallel, but, they seem
                                              to meet... :)

                                  Hah! Classic old train. These trains are so
                                  loud, everybody knows when it arrives.
                                  Saddly, if i am not wrong, this trains will
                                  no longer be travelling pass here in a few
                                  years time.
