hey folks..! some photos to share from a field trip we had on Thursday, 14th of June 09... enjoy!
Welcome folks, to FORT CANNING PARK! It's my first time here so...ahahah..a bit 'Jakon' (country bumpkin)
We were led straight to the black box. A small lecture theatre where we were given an introduction to the place and also briefed about future plans to improve FCP.
And of course, Melanie and her cute little pose....she's feeling bored...poor thing...
Some of the attractions in Fort Canning Park...A culinary school...hmmm..of all places why must it be this haunted piece of land...I wonder...tak takot hantu raya ke?mana tau skali2 balik cari makan...opocot...terkejot! (aren't they afraid of ghosts stealing food?..hahaha)
They also have empty halls for members of the public to rent it and organize their events here in Fort Canning Park. The fee is from $600 and above...
equipment, security, food and beverages not included...ahaha!
Another significant event being held here is the SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL
WOODCARVING SYMPOSIUM...apo bonde tuh?(I'm clueless)
I think its an event where artists use old stumps or dead trees and make something out of it and then call it an ART.
Oh yes, this creepy carvings is a mural that commemorates the Majapahit civilization that established in the early days of Singapore. You know Parameswara?? yup..that guy and his people came to Singapore and settled here...
Ohhohoho...Mr Spiky here, is a cotton tree...according to the tour guide, this tree is a hang out and chill out spot for the PONTIANAKS(female ghosts who died during labor)!heeeeheeee! I gulped and quickly made my move...100km/h..zoom!
This tree was cultivated because of its value, cotton is a booming business back then.
ahhhhh....what's Fort Canning Park without a Fortress, right??? So, tada!
A Fortress left behind by the British Army during World War II. It's more than 100 years old, if I heard the tour guide correctly.
Behind the giganormous, black door of the fortress there lies another secret route that leads to the top of the fortress...my God! I was trembling, because the entrance was really squeezy, I'm claustrophobic...so congrats to me..I made it back home, still living..ahaha!
I remembered, I practically screamed at the tour guide, because he joked about locking the gate after everyone climbed up...ahhaha! I was really freaked out!
From the eyes of a national hero....
Thanks for making Singapore a nice place to live in..
So, that's the end of my tour...hope you guys enjoyed it..!
