thanks for the information! will go there soon. i hope :sweat:

there are some construction works around so do be careful, and not forgetting to mention mimosa shrubs and muddy gullies. be careful not to step into troughs that look dry as they sink like quicksand and do wear proper footwear and trousers if you're not familiar with the environment around Punggol

[namska]

gives me that dream house kind of feeling... full of emotions n character in it... i'm lost of words... very well taken... indeed.

 

[eikin]

:bsmilie: thanks Cheesecake, Clown and namska, my aunt use to tell me stories about the house in the past, when children from nearby kampongs came to play in the terraced gardens. quite a pity that it's reduced to a sorry state today actually.

No lah! I knew this image is in the landscape section, but my curiosity was aroused by the title.

Is this place still inhabited?

i see! :sweat: the place has long been vacated already, in a terribly sorry state now. it use to be an estate with gardens terracing down all the way to Punggol River on the west side, where the sun is 'setting' in the picture.
