After walking through the Alexander Waves, Sally, Alan and I arrived at Hort Park! Wow! What a beautiful place.! We walked through a path lined with flowering plants and the whole landscaping is unique.

Sally told us that there are many types of gardens and flowering plants. At the meeting room where we held our Retreat, there were many glass bottles featuring miniature gardens. How creative.!

After our meeting at 6.00p.m., we decided to walk through the gardens. This time, another colleague, Regina, also joined us. When she realised we had so much fun walking in the rain, she regretted for not joining us. Sally had thought that Regina would be driving and hence did not solicit her participation.

Anyway, it is never too late. Our exuberant and fun loving colleague, Sally, is just too happy to find more buddies who could go climbing and walking with her. Next on the agenda would be hiking up Bukit Timah Hill and exploring Labrador Park and Pulau Ubin.

I guess, hort is the short form for horticulture. I am looking forward to taking my foreign friends to hike up the hill and to show them our beautiful parks. It would not be a bad idea to call it "Horelax Park" - a coining of the words Hort and Alexander - as the park is along Alexander Road. "Horelax also sounds like relax."
Aiya! There was so competition for naming. As usual, why am I such a kaypo?(busybody). I just love flowers, trees and plants.
