Holland V + Bukit Timah Railway Station

Despite having lived 17 years in Singapore, I've never visited Holland Village and it iconic Windmill. So on the last day of the holidays, Jay suggested a trip there...

The icon is abit smaller than i imagined it... (Oh and the M1 ad! argh..)

The super narrow, one way. one lane road and shophouses... very 'Hong kong-like'?

Ariel view of Holland V - alot smaller than I thought it was.. I somehow always thought it was at least at size of say Bishan? But its actually smaller than maybe even J8!

LOOK UP!

After our very short tour around Holland V, we decided to head to the KTM rail tracks near King Albert Park, with its colonial train overhead pass that I used to see every other week in sec 4 when I had to go to SP for Aero Competition...

When we got there, we got more than be bargained for... apparently, we have an abandoned KTM Railway Station at Bukit Timah!

Btw, the train tracks ARE in use... with 3 trains crossing them everyday (6 if u count the return journey) So don't be there when the trains are!
