A probe into the history of Eric Choa's house

Further reading unveills the story of the empty house beside Paramount Hotel in Marine Parade Road. It had belonged to a late lawyer who passed on in Nov 2009.

The strange thing is that the house had been vacant - not a single time had I seen anyone entering or exiting the house at one time. The question is, if anyone of the family members are still holding ownership to that house?

Probably only those who lived there will know the truth; an indeed impressive view of its past glory.

Major Coupeland's house

There's more than meets the eye on Mt Emily and Mt Sophia.

Major Coupeland's house stands at Upper Wilkie Road, but I wonder if it is still around.

I have not seen this house with my own eyes, but stories have mentioned that it had been abandoned for 20 years...

Definitely worth a sight.

Abandoned temple

I spotted this temple when I was driving out of Upper Serangoon area.

Hidden behind somw conserved shophouses, it sits comfortably on a patch of grass and yet tightly bounded by overgrown weeds, it appears to be a tiny building amongst its surroundings.

I wonder on the history behind it...

Abandoned Places - Seletar

The mission was carried out in the late morning as I had spent some time researching online prior to moving out.  My initial intent was look for Baker Street in Seletar, but ended up on a road which I could see the control tower of Seletar Airport, which also stand 2 abandoned colonial houses.  It took me awhile to gather shots of the place and as I was replying a message in the grass patch, I saw a police car and the driver was looking in my direction as it drove on the main road.  I made m move far away from the area to steer clear before coming back. 

When I was outside one of the used car dealer's premises, I realised that I had actually arrived where I had been looking for, after many kilometres of driving.

Later on, I spotted a few colonial buildings which seemed vacated; not a single soul in those areas and I continued a digital gatherance.

Mission completed for today slightly towards late lunch.  That place is getting more interesting...just wondering what that big building beside the road is used for?

Mission Seletar

It is decided; today's journey will be to Seletar Barracks which is just about 10mins' drive from dearie's place.

No doubt I had been a little tired; it is already 10am now after tossing and turning in bed on numerous split slumber for the past 2.5 hours since I was awaken by my alarm at 7:30am.

Time to get packing before the sun starts to hit down hard.

i've been liberated from the deak-chains. What a pity that I'm not armed with my digital sniper today as the attraction from Mt Emily still lures me close.
