Tue 25 Aug 2005 – NYP & NAS’ "Battle at Bukit Chandu"
An animated ten minute short film 'Battle at Bukit Chandu' is going to be
shown on 9pm, Tuesday, 25 October 2005 on Arts Central as part of “Noise on
Screen”.
Heritage SG writes, “A Gold Award winner at the 2005 Crowbar Awards
organised by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Singapore ,
this film illustrates one of the last significant battles fought in
Singapore before British Forces surrendered to the Japanese Imperial Army.
Based largely on war diaries and historical accounts collected by the
National Archives of Singapore (NAS), this film was developed by a group of
Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) students with NAS's support
We found it to be a real labour of love and an outstanding effort from the
NYP students. The turmoil and raw emotions in the battle scenes were very
well-portrayed through the illustration and animation."

“Great Hornbill photographed at Telok Blangah Heights"
In early October 2005, Damien Chng spotted a Great Hornbill (Buceros
bicornis) at Telok Blangah Heights, block 72. He followed it for several
hundred meters before managing to capture a pair of lovely photos.

If you have records or photos of hornbills seen anywhere in Singapore, we’d
like to know. Email me at sivasothi@.... Include details of date, time
location, identity, photos and any behavioural observations, thanks!

“Just to add to recent postings, I saw it on the ledge abutting the
water-tank of Blk 407 Sin Ming Ave last week. It flew in from the direction
of Bishan Park. It stayed briefly without making any call, and took off
south towards Lakeview. It was alone.
It could be the same one I saw twice on separate occasions in Bukit Timah
Nature Reserve early last month. Regulars there told me it is often seen. It
really made such a racket there! I 'aak' and it 'aak' back. Quite fun : )
Perhaps it is hungry and can't find enough food, and thereby flying here and
there in the urban jungle instead : (
