1st January 2016 - Tanjong Pagar Railway

First day of the year and i'm visiting this amazing train station that has served many since 3rd May 1932 till 1st July 2011. It's usually out of bounds to the public. But it's open on public holidays. 


I was greeted by the beautiful architecture of the train station. The structure is influenced by french architecture as it is built by a French construction firm "Brossard and Mopin Ltd". I'm not going into detail regarding the history. But if you're interested, do visit : "http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_954_2005-01-10.html"


Not too deep into the building is the "Balai Polis Bantuan" or Auxiliary Police Post (correct me if im wrong). 

the force is strong in this one...

I failed to take good shots of the railway due to the huge crowd. But i manage to see what the crowd couldn't. The abandoned shops of the station. It's quite a good place for a photoshoot but sadly it's not open to public as it was locked. Not sure if there is a way to get it open legally though =).  



Alright that's it for the week. As you probably noticed, this blog was dead. But fret not, I will try my best to venture around every weekend to revive this blog. Till nxt week, Phique out~
