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.

  • Tennis: Beautiful game that doesn't know how to count

    Wimbledon just concluded yesterday (congrats Sinner!), and it's a reminder of how much I enjoy tennis as a sport. I used to play it some (wasn't particularly good), and still tangentially follow it nowadays (the Roland Garros final this year between Alcaraz and Sinner is an all-time classic).  There's something intrinsically mesmerising about the sport, I think even for spectators who have never picked up a racquet. At first glance, it may seem like just two people (or four, but doubles is

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t
