Failed Woodland Hike

Good Morning Blog,

I was supposed to meet a friend in the morning and then go to an afternoon event, but I discovered some work hiccups yesterday. Fortunately, I discovered it sooner rather than later, or through an audit...

I will go down to the woodland industry to fix the problem, so... why not I explore some of the woodland forest?

The reason I went exploring was because I wanted to revisit the abandoned factory, but I had heard that we could only get there through the forest.

More Yishun Forest

Good Morning Blog,

The long weekend was rainy, so I couldn't go for a short hike. But today looks like a great opportunity! So where am I going then?

I had the pleasure of using my new camera and capturing some shots. I must say, it's a great investment! The colour and clarity are just perfect!

Today, I opted to revisit Yishun Forest, and I'm grateful that Elmo (who stays nearby) decided to join me on this little adventure.

Serapong Unknown Ruins

Good Morning Blog,

Recently, I've observed a team of urban explorers venturing into lesser-known areas in Serapong. Two of them, including the Chasing Peaks blogger, disclosed the location 📍 to me.

I thought to myself that I would try it on my own.

However, I need more confidence to proceed alone, as my intuition advises against it. Luckily, some fellow explorers mentioned they were heading there, so I wanted to tag along to be safe.

Revisiting Labrador Nature Park

Good morning Blog,

Today was a public holiday! Yippee! 😂 The best part was that it was sunny in the morning, so we could go hiking!

Last night, my elder brother invited me to go over to his house and help him with the game he was playing, so I stayed overnight at his place.

When I woke up, I thought about going for a hike. Should I try a new place even though the ground is wet from last night's rain? Or stick to the old place?

Fort Canning Battlebox SG

Hi Blog,

As a novice in urban exploration, I plan to visit a location that would be a dream for urbex enthusiasts if not for the organized group facilitating the place.

So where am I talking about? It is at Fort Canning Battlebox.

Within Fort Canning Hill is a WWII bunker built on the hill to operate as commanding HQ during the wars. For historical reasons, it is maintained by the government rather than leaving it to rot and be forgotten.

Tiong Bahru Air Raid Shelter

Good Morning Blog,

Today's trip was suggested by one local blogger - Chasing Peaks, HY. She knows that I will love such a trip, and credit to her if I didn't know this; I might have missed this opportunity.

So what opportunity was this?

It was Exploring Tiong Bahru hosted by Eventbrite, they have a tour to explore Tiong Bahru's history and Air Raid! Best of all, it's free!

Rainbow Village

Hi Blog,

Continuing to Day 5 in Taiwan, we arrive at our final destination in our itinerary. No more stress from winding roads—just time to chill and relax.

A beautiful day suggests smooth sailing ahead.

Time to go for a simple shopping trip before we returned to Singapore.

Return to Serapong & Tanjong Rimau

Good morning Blog,

Recently, I saw an urbex post a few pics about her visit to Serapong, and it was a completely different location. In fact, Serapong has a lot of hidden locations which I have yet to cover. Next time, I will try to find them and put them on the map.

Today was blessed with good weather, so I arranged a visit to Serapong to find the hidden gems and meet up with Mr. Loh's group to visit Tanjong Rimau because today is also the lowest day of the month. I just hope it won't rain..

It was difficult to find a weekend to have the lowest tide during the day and fell on a weekend. Usually, the lowest tide will happen during the night, so my chance will be halved. If I want a weekend, that will be a 2/7 chance. To access there during the lowest tide, that will only happen during lunar days (2/30 days). Lastly, only under the conditions that I am available. So it is rare.

Finding Haw Par Beach Villa

Good Morning Blog,

Today's trip was an exciting one which I had been looking forward to. I read and saw picture posts by hikers of this place - Haw Paw Beach Mansion. (you can read more of it in Remember Singapore) I had been to Coney Island a few times, but I don't remember spotting any building structures, which means they are hidden from sight.

Today's weather seemed promising. Why did I say that? Because from the past photos of the hikers, they will have muddy shoes for sure. I hope that if we really find it, the dry weather will reduce the chance. I hate mud.

But first, whether I can find it or not... That's one of the most important factors. Let's go!

Embracing My Imperfections

Hi Blog,

Today I decided to go for a short hike, a small me-time moment to do some reflection.

Today's weather was rather good and welcoming. Let's go hiking!

I've been doing some thinking lately, and I decided to write a not-unfamiliar content (even though my readers had already known and become numb with my nonsense). You may skip it if it isn't interesting.

Thomson Nature Park + Inner Thoughts

Good Morning Blog,

2023 was coming to an end, I thought of going for a short hike somewhere else to have some deep reflection. Extracted contents from my main blog page. This will not be focus on Thomson Nature Park, but rather having some self-reflection over something which in my head for a long time.

Clear weather which expressed how I felt today.

I will be expressing my thought process while hiking so it is a long-winded one.

No Water Island Visit

Good Morning Blog,

XY and BW decided to take a trip to Lazarus Island while in Singapore. XY had to return to Singapore temporarily to sort out his citizenship issues and BW had some leave days to spare. It was a farewell for XY and a first-time experience for BW.

Thank Heaven for such a sunny morning.

I decided to take a trip to the island, as this was the first time I had visited it with my close friends. I expected it to be a fun and relaxing experience.

Tanglin Halt Green

Good Morning Blog,

On my first day when I started to clear my leave, Ai wanted to go for a hike with me.

Today's morning was perfect for a hike!

I heard that this was Ai's first hike, so we started something simple, to hike along the green corridor.

Old Bird Bird Park II

Good Morning Blog,

It's a long weekend this week because of Deepavali, but I didn't get enough rest at all. Had to attend different meetings/groups with different agendas. I only had today's morning window for myself.

Thanks, Heaven that it was a dry and sunny morning.

Today I would want to re-visit Bird Bird Park (in case, you had missed out on my previous visit) because I saw a picture of a monorail 🚝 track taken by one of the urbex rangers. I wanted that shot! And this place will be taken over by some companies by the end of this year.

Finding That Wall

Good morning Blog,

Thank God it's Friday! I was troubled about where should I go next. Why so?

I woke up very early for my medical appointment and the doctor would usually give me a day's mc; so I was thinking about my next destination after mc.

Eventually, I can't decide... Wanted to go for island sun tanning or exploration or a quiet hike or go back home and sleep.

Old Bird Bird Park

Hi Blog,

Today's morning where would I be heading to? Recently, I saw someone share an interesting place on their social media that looked familiar... My gut feeling told me the time had come and after enquired about the entrance...

It's time to explore before it was gone.

Yes, as titled, you might already know where I was heading, right? Let me show you around if you still don't have any idea.

Finding Random Storage Ruin

Hi Blog,

Right after I touched down in Singapore safely from Japan, my twelve days oversea trip. I had to take a taxi back home... More bleeding from my wallet... But I know I need some rest after that...

So I decided to go exploration in the next day!

But I will go and meet up with my friend, Ben, for a lunching before he continued his work.

Tuas TV again

Hi Blog,

Today was an exciting trip for me because I got a chance to visit my favourite place - Tuas TV World again. Today's trip was not about me going there myself, I want to save my trip there by knowing the situation...

Yes! Reached here at ease! Thanks to P for driving us here. I saw there was a guard guarding the entrance of Tuas TV.

There was someone picking me up to that place, if any unsuccessful attempt at Tuas TV, we had a vehicle to travel elsewhere.

Searching for the Searchlight

Hi Blog,

It was great to have a long weekend, especially on Monday, to reduce Monday's blue effect. Today, I was invited to join a group by WS and S to look for some locations which I had yet to find.

Getting ready. Thank Heaven for such nice weather as there were storms at the later part of these days.

As titled, they told me that today they will try to cover as many as they can. Let's see what it is and what I missed.

Old Jurong Road B Trail

Hi Blog,

Yes, as what you were reading, today morning I planned to explore a new place; not new but an old place going to be removed sooner.

Thank goodness, today's weather was good. I guess it is my daily ritual to look at the sky and greet Mr Sun.

So you may ask me what is Old Jurong Road B trail. The letter B means Bulim. I don't put on the title and separate it because... Mine isn't official or more informative than those pages here and here; mine was just a personal journal experience.
