Brisk Walking Club 轻快步行俱乐部

Dear Residents,

Rainbow Ville RC will be setting up its very own Brisk Walking Club soon!

The programme will kick off with the residents going through a 10-minute warm-up session, followed by a walk in the surrounding peaceful neighbourhood and some light refreshments after the walk.

Why Brisk walking?

To promote healthy lifestyle and active citizenry by bringing residents of all races, religion, gender and age groups together through brisk walking and other related activities.

Benefits of Brisk Walking

1. Get fit & stay healthy through regular exercise
Brisk walking regularly can help members get fit and stay healthy through regular cardio-vascular exercise. This form of exercise also helps to increase bone density, reduce risk of heart attack, reduce body fat and reduce stress.

2. Make new friends, bond with the family and the community
Brisk walking is a simple activity that appeals to residents of all ages, races, religions, gender and from all walks of life. Regular meetings through brisk walking activities help to widen members' social networks and give families quality time to interact. Brisk walking activities provide opportunities for members to strengthened bonds and improve their quality of life

When and How to Register?

We will announce more details about the walk in the near future.
Do visit here regularly for more updates.


Cheers,

Banana Pie...Anyone?

THE first thing that hits you at Dona Manis Cake Shop is the intoxicating smell of buttery pastry baking in the oven.

Then you notice that behind the display counter, someone is cutting potatoes into cubes for curry puffs and rolling out dough.

The stand-out item is the banana pie ($2.00 a slice, $20 for the whole pie),with its tender, flaky pastry. There is a rich, satisfying taste of butter in every bite. The pastry chef uses only ang bak cheo (Hokkien for red-flesh bananas) and pang cheo (fragrant bananas). These small, sweet bananas taste much better than the big, bland ones you get in supermarkets.

Yummy yummy....

Through this trip, members get to find out how the Barrage works, learn about planning in Singapore through the draft Master Plan 2008, see the past, present and future transportation plans of Singapore and also the actual making of Newater at the NEWater Factory.
