Chuan Hoe Avenue, off Yio Chu Kang Road . Unknown to many, the ashes of these 10,000 from World War II are buried alongside those of more than 1,000 of the pre-war community of Japanese there .

Bro there's a Japanese World War 2 Shinto Shrine right in the middle of MacRitchie Reservoir.. But I heard must do bit of trekking to reach the place..

This is very true.. Cemetery is a great place to relax.. Back then I would bring my binoculars to Bidadari to have a close look at the birds there.. But one thing that frightens me is the stray snakes there.. Once nearly stepped onto a small baby Cobra.. It hissed at me madly before slithering into a small drain..

yes bro , i also always go to bidadari and catch spider . once a while i will go to cemetery at night to relax too . the air there is very clean .

Yes, we trekked their during PA days. It's called a 鳥居 (torii). Another strange use of Chinese characters. It's for Japanese troops to carry out their Shinto rituals and festivals. Rumor's that Japanese also has their version of fengshi in locating shrines and that site at MacRitchie was chosen. I'm not sure whether it's still there or not.

Sometimes I wonder whether any Japanese army officers did a Harakiri ritual there when they knew that they are goin to lose the war in 1945... I used to have a Japanese colleague at my work place.. Even he knows about the Shrine in Macritichie..

There is a small Muslim cemetry smack right in the middle of Bedok HDB flats. Does anyone know?

When i was in JC, knew a girl from MIRC living there. So went out to meet her in the middle of the night. Her flat was within walking distance to the cemetry and I did not knew why we just walked into the small cemetry. At that time, I was more horny than afraid and I actually made her do a bbbj on me in the middle of that cemetry :o

yes i do. bedok south area, between an HDB flat and some terrace houses. a small kampong used to be there and villagers act as caretaker. Jack's friend used to stay at the flat facing it. once at night, a white figure float from his front window...through the living room..kitchen and out of the kitchen window...he was in the middle of watching TV....had the fright of his life...true story

The Malays named it Kubor Kassim.. Years ago as a schoolboy, me and few of my Malay school mates would always ride our bikes into the cemetery during the late nites for some adventure thrills... Didnt see any ghosts while I was there..On one occasion, I didn't follow my school mates on one of their usual adventure trip into the cemetery..A school mate of mine claimed to see a Pontianak hiding behind an old tree there..He and the rest ran out of the cemetery in a fright.. The poor chap subsequently had a high fever due to the incident and was given 5 days MC from his family doctor..

jack's cousin drove past the spot late one night...3 hours later kena possessed....

Can never understand why people are more afraid of dead people than living people.

You're right on this brother. 人心难测. It is the living that we should truly fear.

The Bedok South JC was the site when they dig up the earth to build the school found it was one of the places the Japs executed the locals during the Occupation. Hundreds of skeletons were dug up and I think they all were re-buried at the War Memorial near the Padang.

u must be move to hougang from other places in the early 90s. the chinese cemetery at serangoon was exhumed in the 80s. the geography of the area chad change since then. the cemetery was located opposite the nex shopping centre and it was a small hill/knoll. then after exhumation, the hill must have been used for land reclaimation as now the whole area is a depression instead.

there also a small cemetery at the current chij primary school at upper serangoon road junction with hougang ave 7 & 8. right beside the big catolic church before the old kangkah. i really dont like the place but lan lan every morning have to go there to take bus in order to catch the first bus to school.

USSC...I used to play arcade there There is also a shop on the 4th floor whereby we school children will get our pirated game CD.
I had my first try of a spa at Hougang De Sauna. I could still remember the milf name. Lily...Im surprised that nothing was being done to USSC. It actually occupied a big area. Imagine the amount of condos that could be built.
