This morning, I did another morning jog with my jogging kaki from CCK to a new place, Dairy Farm Nature Park from 7am onwards.

The route that we took includes Bukit Panjang Road => Zheng Hua Park => Hill View Park Connector => Dairy Farm Nature Park with a total distance of about 6.5km.

Upon reaching there, we visited the Dairy Farm Nature Reserve and the new Wallace Education Centre which were officially opened by Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan on 5 Sept 2009.

As we walked further up pass the Wallace Education Centre, we saw 1 abandoned house which have been there quite long time ago.
