It's so nice for this collab ☺️ I gonna miss it.
Hello
Hi ninijiang. I'm surprise to see you in Richard's vlog.
I enjoyed it too!
you didnt carry bag or something? haha
I have subscribed your youtube , i find your video very interesting to me so i subscribed you.
Interesting collab 👍🏻👍🏻 Maybe can collab with @Ghib Ojisan next round. Would be fun to watch 😄
If you look southeastwards through the treeline when you are at the Bukit Batok Memorial Park, Hotel Fairmont and Raffles City stands directly in the middle. A reminder of the proximity and direction to the heart of where the country was at that time of war.
It nice to see you team up with nini jiang. I like to watch her videos too.
😊
Hi Richard, started watching your videos whilst serving my SHN in NZ. I really enjoyed watching them and have learned quite a bit of history of my homeland. Thank you!
You did an episode on Joo Chiat road, and a jetty at the end toward the sea which belonged to my dad(Lim Beng Teck). I’ve not been back to Singaporein over 40yr
Hi Richard, and Nini. Just got to say that I just love my Saturday mornings watching your videos around Singapore. I live in Perth WA, and have many friends in Singapore with in the Blues music, due too many visits that I have done over the years. I also must say that next time I visit (when we can) I seem to have a list as long as my leg, of places to visit, thanks to yourself. Many thanks for the time you take with your videos, and all the history information that you put in. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Happy to watch both’s versions. Hope to see you in person Richard
Very nice collab with Nini! I love this!
Good to see you with ninijiang 👍
Richard have you not thought of making a video of the ancient Singapore Botanical gardens, Nice to see you Nini I will have a look at you channel.
So cool to see such colabs!
Cool to see the adventures at Bukit Batok and the hike around little Guilin and the war shrines! Also the foodie part, maybe can film at another chance some other foodie place! Cheers!👍
Very nice tour of the parks Richard and lovely Nini joining you . A nice collab and i hope there's more :-)
Cheers!
Love the chemistry between you and ninijiang. Both of you are able to capture Singapore beautifully in your respective presentation.
Thank you so much!
Very nice vlog, Richard. I like this collaboration with Ninijiang, I watch her vlogs as well. Well done 👍. Do stay safe during this Phase 2 (Heightened Alert).
GOOD morning thank you for this video on a gloomy Saturday morning!
I was their the other day saw your guys filming at little Guilin .
WOW!!! BEAUITFUL PLACE IN BUKIT BATOK NATURE PARK
Sad to said that i missed this interesting shoot in my life OMG.
Haha don't worry, I will recognize you if we have the chance to meet. I'm actually a subscriber of both of you guys channels.
Awesome video Rich!!! 2 of my favourite youtubers! Lol
Wow, thanks!
@@AsiaHikelopedia I mean it bruv! LOL
I already started laughing at the “they didn’t recognize me and crying emoji” part 😂😂😂😂
Good collab. 好主意。加油!
Hi Richard, great collabs !
Glad you enjoyed it
If you like durian, Mr Kho in Bukit Batok is the man to see. Not sure if he's still around. About 10 years ago, I heard through hardwarezone of this guy in BB selling amazing durian. I would travel from the east out there just to buy his stuff. He was on to MSW before it became a mainstream thing. Back then it was cheap. $11 per kg. I would buy for familiy gatherings and parties and everyone went nuts for it. My only connection with BB, but a great memory. Stay safe! Keep doing what you do. Bless!
I do like durian, but BB is a bit far to go just to get some!
Rich you gotta upload more!!
Thanks for a good one because I have always admired L Guilin from inside the MRT. A little correction for the word Batok the O is pronounced (as in oak ) Bat-oak , so not like tik-tok.
Hey Richard, Great to see both of you in one video! May I ask that which action camera (brand & model) you are using? Thanks.
I use my Canon camera for this. (M6 MkII)
Haha, nice to see you making friends in Singapore
Hey Richard, if you haven't found out already. The radio picked up by your mic is a known issue with certain amps and cables (your cable act like an antenna and the amp just picks up radio frequency that are on same band). Try changing cable for shorter one or different amp frequency
Thanks for that. Guess I'll just not use it next time I go.

Hi Richard, The radio tower behind you at 11:40 is used to broadcast FM radio by mediacorp. Maybe thats why the stronger signal gets easily picked up by your equipment in the area.
Great video sir👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice collab sir. 👍 went biking here last week.
Great 👍
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Bery good....ah. 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Perhaps we can organise some 'makan' session (fans club) one of these day. Singaporeans like to hunt for good food.
Maybe one day!
Haha. Do you know the steps is one of my training ground (the others are Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm)?
And the Synon Temple one memorial is for Japanese the other is for all others. The other one is hidden away in the forest but if you search online, wow if the temple can be kept in condition without being destroyed.
My nickname featured in the video for the coffee - Syukiyaki
Thanks for your support.
Hi Richard hi nini good collaboration;)
Thanks
sesuai! thats where I climb every thursday nite before Heightened Alert
i too have a fan .. a battery operated one that easy to bring along 😅😅😅
Are you a dad? That's a dad jokes.
just curious, nini doesn't seems prepared for the trip, she came with just a phone. No water? BTW, I watch both your channels weekly.
The only part of the hike that was "wilderness" was the first hour. After that it was just streets and popular parks. Don't really need to prepare that much.
A DAY BUKIT
OUT IN BATOK
Any idea who built the Hillside Park and why was it abandoned?
Don't know. There's no info online. Locals will probably have that knowledge!
Nice. I wonder why a suitable memorial could not be build on the hill to replace the old graves and commemmorate the victims , on both sides,of the terrible war.
Hi , anyone can give your experience on Brompton vs 3sixty ? :)
I haven't ridden a 360 so no idea. Sorry!
i stay batok... Early 2000s used to be a park for people to go trekking but then at those time nobody wanted to go up...I stayed there,i don't even step in once...lol...it's a park that build in wrong timing...anyway they are remaking the park back...
Good morning Richard
Morning!
My hood!
HI Richard.. May i have the address for the "Kuay" u ate at Bukit Batok East point?
Normally I record the address, but on this occasion I forgot. Sorry! It's not hard to find though. It's next to the drinks stall and I think it's the only place that sells them there. You can't miss it.
@@AsiaHikelopedia Ah... ya i was looking forward to the address in ur video.. But i went yesterday i couldnt locate the stall... Bukit Batok East Point Market is quite big. I don't know which blk to start ...
Try this. The junction of Bukit Batok East Ave 5 & Bukit Batok East Ave 4. There is a hawkers centre in Block 273. You walk up the steps and it's on your left. Hope that helps.
@@AsiaHikelopedia Thank you!! Hope to see your new video soon!!
Hey Richard, thanks for having my wife (pink) in your video. Always look forward to your video. Can I get you ☕ ☕☕ via paynow instead?
My pleasure. It was nice to meet her. Erm, I don't know how to do that! LOL
We have sent you a Starbucks gift card via email to boost your hiking days ahead. Enjoy!
@@hammer231070 Hi Derrick, I didn't receive an email from you. Can I ask which address you sent it to?
Sent to Hikelopedia@gmail.com from Starbucks.
Ninijiang is also a taiwanese??
China fujian
Sesame? or me?
Stay safe in this new COVID outbreak Richard…
You know me. I'm usually alone anyway!
i was dissapointed as at the end no food/restaurant review
Is working day and she is supposed to be working from home, but somehow happened to be trekking and you filmed her, teehee
Maybe
Wait, you can speak mandarin??
Yes.
Your Mic is haunted! 👻
Oh if i know you are going to Bukit Batok Park you should have ask me Roger to follow and become your video cameraman for free of charge , i'm willing to help to do it as a charity using my professional skill , i have done plenty of charity video shoot.
Always love your videos. However, honestly, this collaboration video just don't do it for me. Prefer your solo/lonely videos, they always give a special feels, which stands out from the rest of TH-cam videos on similar topics. Anyway, great effort though.
From her 13 yrs in Singapore she should be able to speak fluent english but I figure she doesn't speak much english but more mandarin to the locals.
Cha bor english=CMI. Go to US & Aussie instead
So now you know that you have missed the eating scene just because you dont have a extra cameraman to do it.
