As you know, in Singapore, us automotive journalists are expected to know more or less everything. Or in Hokkien, "bao ka liao". Aside from driving the test cars around our little island to get the best feel of each car's characteristics, we also have to source for nice places to take photos, all for the reader's viewing pleasure.

 

However, being the small tiny island that we are, it's really not that easy to keep finding places that we, or even others, have not been to. After all, we don't want to end up having our works looking like it has been done before.

 

Now, I live in the North of Singapore, and being in such an 'ulu' place (believe me, if I get a dollar for every time someone complains to me how 'far' Woodlands is, I'll be a millionaire), I personally know of a few hidden spots where there might be a good photo taking opportunity. Places like Kranji, Lim Chu Kang and Sembawang have quite a good collection of scenic spots for photography enthusiasts.

 

That said, my knowledge only extends so far. So, using the power of the Internet, I was thinking maybe some of you may have any ideas as to where these little nooks and crannies of Singapore are.

 

Because, as some say, good things must share!

depending on how u define scenic, otherwise, an interesting place is the tuas west area by raffles marina.

 

take AYE all the way, turn left to raffles marina. and with it on your right, (on tuas west drive), this road is so wide and long (you cannot see the end of the road), it is unbelievable for singapore. go to the end, and u have an "interesting" place for yourself.

  • Space: Large and Empty

    Over the weekend I fell into a bit of a science-fiction/science rabbithole. You know, one of those when you click on ONE Youtube video and suddenly the whole Sunday afternoon is gone and your algorithm is all messed up.  Anyway, obviously there's tons of fascinating stuff about space and science and all that. Too much, really.  But one fun fact has stuck in my brain: All the other planets in the Solar System could fit between Earth and our Moon.  It seems crazy to think, consideri

    JMEV ELIGHT: Tech, Style and Value

    High-tech and stylish electric vehicles doesn’t have to be expensive and inaccessible - the JMEV ELIGHT, which offers all you want in an affordable package, is now available in Singapore. Singapore’s car industry has never seen so many new brands within a given time span since forever - I can easily count more than 10 EV brands that has entered the market within the last couple of years. And it is a great phenomenon for car buyers - whether you are someone that’s intending to buy your

    We are creatures of the air-con

    I've often wondered: How much work would get done today if offices were not air-conditioned? What if the only air-con we could enjoy was only in shopping malls and supermarkets? Images of stuffy offices fill my mind. Despite the availability of fans to circulate air, the oppressive heat and humidity will lower our productivity. Many of my colleagues and I experienced this in our previous office, where the ancient air-conditioning system would have a monthly breakdown. For two days, the

    Why I bought Fanta Orange and hand carried it back from Germany

    - The curious case of the European Fanta - I paid 5 Euros for a small 500ml bottle of Fanta Orange and brought it on my carry-on bag, on a 13+hours flight to bring it back to Singapore. You might be wondering why; after all we can get Fanta Orange in Singapore - it's a Chinese New Year staple! BUT NO! European Fanta is DIFFERENT! From its colour, to its taste, the European Fanta is unique and better, and I would say it tastes closer to Origina (which is like the best fizzy orange drink
