Every week, Ms Halima explores a new corner of Singapore. She travels by train; the Thomson-East Coast line runs near her home and Singapore is full of places worth revisiting: Sentosa, Our Tampines Hub, East Coast Lagoon. Sometimes she meets friends at these places. Sometimes she goes alone and walks at her own pace.
When not wandering around the island, Ms Halima goes to her Community Centre for a tech workshop for seniors. Volunteers are on hand to answer any digital questions, and she always wants to keep up with new technology updates.She also reads the English newspaper every day to keep improving her language skills. She takes particular interest in current geopolitics.
"Stay fit," she says. "Especially your legs. And eat well."
This story is part of our Take on Today series, celebrating the unstoppable, vibrant seniors of Singapore and the freedom to live every single day on your own terms.
