On April 7, I’m embarking on a personal adventure: a walk around Singapore. That’s 100 miles in 12 days. I do this for two reasons: To see and experience this wonderful country that I have 3x called home and to campaign for children in need.
I’m not much for publicizing or asking others to make donations. I do feel that this walk would be remiss if it was not used to promote change. If you would like to provide support, please consider making a donation to Caring for Cambodia or to the charity of your choice.

The Big Plan



Okay, so here's the plan:
At my rate, it will take 11-12 separate walks to get around Singapore. I'll do these in a relatively short time, taking time off for work, weather, or just wear and tear. Start date is today, April 7th with the expectation that all will be complete by the 25th of April.

Day1: Home to HarbourFront:  
Down Orchard Road, across Fort Canning, through Clark Quay, around Marina Bay, down to HarbourFront.


Day 2: HarbourFront to Haw Par Villa:
Past Sentosa, around Keppel Island, through Labrador nature Reserve to HawPar Villa Theme  Park



Day 3: Haw Par Villa to Chinese Garden

Through West Coast Park, around Pandan Reservoir, across the Jurong River through the Japanese Garden.


Day 4: Chinese Garden to Jalan Maurai

Through the Chinese Garden, along the Jurong River, past NTU, into the Choa Chu Kang Columbarium to a bus stop in the middle of nowhere.


Day 5: Jalan Murai to Kranji
From the bus stop, past the goat farm, a quick view of Malaysia, then across the Kranji Reservoir.



Day 6: Kranji to Admirality
A quick backtrack to the WWII cemetery, skirting the border crossing at Woodlands, up to the coast, then through the park.



Day 7: Admirality to Yishun
A quiet walk through Sembawang, back to the coast, along the waterway to Yishun.



Day 8: Yishun to Punggol
Through the park, across the Lower Selatar Reservoir, past the Seletar Airport, onto Barat and Timor Islands, settling in Ponggol.



Day 9: Punggol to Changi Point
Across another reservoir, along the Selarang River, past the Wild Wild Wet WaterPark, up to Old Changi Village.



Day 10: Changi Point to East Coast Lagoon
Ocean view of Changi Airport, a couple of pier views of the Johor Strait, down to East Coast Seafood, one of my favorites.



Day 11: East Coast Lagoon to Home
East Coast to Gardens By the Bay, Past Marina Bay Sands to complete my loop, through Chinatown, and then back home.



The last two walks are a little long, so I may break them up into 3.
Total distance: 97.69 miles.
