CNA explores Singapore on foot (Day 5): An unexpected guide and finally, the big finish

SINGAPORE: My eyes had just about adjusted to the sunlight filtering through the curtains at my resort room in Lim Chu Kang when the phone started buzzing.

But just as we had started to become addicted to our long exploration of Singapore, so it seemed that Zoe also wanted more of this experience. Hence, the unexpected early morning call.We had mixed feelings before the start of the last day of our marathon walk around Singapore.On the one hand, we were looking forward to completing the journey and enjoying a long rest.

And so, what would have probably seemed like overgrown jungle to us took on so much more significance as she patiently pointed to areas she was familiar with from her childhood and how they used to look. En route to the area of Zoe's old home, we visited Bollywood Veggies, a sprawling farm nestled in the Kranji countryside. We had the pleasure of a short guided tour in the one of the compound's gardens and I even had a go at harvesting rice - thoroughly enjoyable.

With Zoe bidding farewell to us after about three hours on the road, it was left for us to conquer the remaining kilometres - ending our journey just as we started off.This proved to be easier said than done under the fierce heat of the midday sun. We'd foolishly neglected to purchase water when we'd set off and the back of our throats were beginning to dry up.A FINAL FLOURISH
