Spottiswoode Park, Singapore


If I'm not wrong, this railway line's owned by KTM, and is the property of Malaysia. Not sure if they're going to re-route this, since the railway station at Spottiswoode's going to be relocated at Woodlands. Hmm...


Found it really peculiar that there was a makeshift Hindu temple amongst the trees and beside the railway track. Wonder how long it's been situated at that spot already.


What's left of our colonial past... shophouses and chi-chi teahouses and eateries.


The back-end of the shophouses... pretty dingy.


Welcoming, much?



Our high-rise Housing Development Board (HDB) flats! I think this flat is about 15-16 story high. Not too sure.


Singapore's got to love its casino.


Just a few simple dishes--nothing pretentious. Stir-fried veggies and my Grandma's specialty of Black sauce potatoes with meat!


Dinner at Burger King with Talib. What a contrast to my homecooked meal.


With the encouragement of Sabine, I've decided to include posts about Singapore in this little travel blog of mine! Took these photos en-route to my Grandma's for dinner a few days ago. I would think most residential areas in Singapore have taken on more modern architecture and design, and Spottiswoode Park is perhaps one of the more rustic few left. Where I live, you'd kill to have the view of an abandoned railway track out your window. I'm surrounded by concrete shopping malls and sky-high prices for your basic commodities.

It's always nice to be able to take a breather after a chaotic day at school, and pause to admire the setting of the sun...
