Had a recce today at Fort Canning. Quite fun but it was tiring climbing up and down. We shall remember to bring insect repellant the next time we go. Too many mosquitoes and red ants etc.

Fort Canning brings back many fond memories. Recently, I just watched Ballet under the Stars with my cousin. It was fun sitting there and having a picnic of sorts and just chatting while the sun set. Today they were setting up the stage and some stalls for WOMAD. It was the first time I saw Fort Canning without running children, noisy teenagers and a crowd. The field had no picnic mats on it. There were tourists taking pictures and people jogging. I got to know some interesting facts about the hill. However, I shan't note them down here in case you're going for our event in September. Heh.

I used to have a bad impression of the hill because someone back in primary school lapsed into a coma after a hike at Fort Canning. I remember a teacher talking about it and the student was in coma for a few years. She didn't fall or anything. We heard that it was because of some spirits possessing her body or something. Come to think of it, it's quite scary. I think she woke up after a few years and she couldn't remember anything. She became something like a retard if I don't remember wrongly.

Anyway I hope she was okay. Hope I remembered wrongly. Well, Fort Canning is a nice place. Maybe my memory of the girl in coma is just a figment of my imagination. Or is it not?
