Relics of the Forbidden Hill: Discover the King’s Treasure
Relics of the Forbidden Hill: Discover the King’s Treasure
Unlock 700 years of history through an immersive, gamified experience at **Fort Canning Hill**. This isn’t just a walk; it’s a mission. Designed specifically for teens and adults, **Relics of the Forbidden Hill** transforms Singapore’s historic “Bukit Larangan” into a live game board where you are the protagonist. Starting from the foot of the hill, your guide will lead the group through a series of cryptic challenges and historical ciphers. At each stop, you’ll encounter “beloved items” of the Malay royalty and strategic tools of the British governors. Using your smartphone, you’ll discover artefacts (3D models) that no longer exist on-site, bringing the “Forbidden Hill” back to life right before your eyes. Designed as a living narrative, this tour swaps traditional commentary for an immersive quest where the history is revealed through the challenges you solve. Perfect for families with teens, groups of friends or colleagues, this quest ends at the vibrant Jubilee Park, leaving you with a newfound perspective on the city’s origins.

Learning to Design Systems for Scalability
Learning to Design Systems for Scalability
**Register here (subject to approval):** **[https://luma.com/mu4wsv8t](https://luma.com/mu4wsv8t)** *This is an in-person event. Successful Registration is subject to approval.* **ABOUT** **In association with [Women's Dev Singapore](https://www.meetup.com/women-devs-sg/), [Zenika](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zenikasingapore/) presents A Practitioner’s Perspective:** ​Scalability is often treated as a purely technical challenge — something to solve with the right architecture, tools, or infrastructure. In reality, it is just as much about how we think. In this talk, \*\*[Fion ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fion-sim-8427741b0/)\*\*shares her journey of learning to design for scalability through real-world experience — navigating evolving requirements, growing systems, and the trade-offs that come with them. Rather than focusing on deep technical patterns, the session explores the decision-making process behind building systems that can grow sustainably. Through practical examples, she will reflect on: * How to recognise when scalability becomes a concern * Balancing simplicity vs. future-proofing * Breaking down systems into manageable, evolvable components * Learning from constraints, failures, and iteration This session is designed for developers who are early to mid in their journey, or anyone looking to strengthen their intuition around building systems that don’t just work today — but continue to work as they scale. **About the Speaker - [Fion Sim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fion-sim-8427741b0/):** Fion is a fullstack web developer focused on building robust, scalable applications across the modern web stack. She has hands-on experience with frontend frameworks such as Next.js and Angular, and develops backend microservices using Node.js and Prisma. Driven by curiosity and continuous learning, Fion is particularly interested in how systems evolve over time — and how thoughtful design decisions can support long-term scalability and maintainability. 📍 **Venue:** This meetup is brought to you by Zenika Singapore, 20 Bendemeer Rd, #03-10 BS Bendemeer Centre, Singapore 339914. **NOTE: Successful Registration is subject to approval.

What to Expect: * An introduction to version control and why it's essential for Unity projects * An overview of Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control * Demos of each tool in a Unity workflow * Tips for getting started * No prior version control experience required * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome.
