Thank you for sharing the video of journeying on a bike and taking us to places with historical narratives. Must be quite tough placing the camera before recording and stopping the camera roll after passing over it.

Many of us would not spare a thought to do this, but you did well and tirelessly dedicated to the Vlog to spread it around, that shows your passion and commitment to old places left untouched yet maintained at such stage. I'm a trekker myself to few places up north and only stopping by to smell the nature air and a combo of mixed nostalgia . Like you too, that Nasi Lemak sure is sedap yet nourishing washed down with Kopi siew tai ✋️😁😆

I'm reinforcing my historical and geographical knowledge from a foreigner. kudos to your videos and narratives.

Again this brings nostalgia as a great part if my childhood was spent in Sembawang. I used to visit the hot springs when it was not famous. I lived close to the Naval Base and had my schools were bordering the base. I remember the gate and the rows of colonial bungalows. Thanks for covering this place.

Sembawang is a very interesting place, impression of Sembawang is nature and relaxing .

I visited the hot springs a couple months ago. Such a great location! At that time we were able to soak our feet at the fountain without too much competition, I think we were lucky since we went on a weekend day when it was raining.

Thank you for such an informative and well-researched video! And thank you for taking the time to learn about Singapore. You are the kind of expat I would aspire towards if I were to live in a foreign country: visit non-touristy places, read up on local history, try to appreciate and participate in local cultures, etc. 👍

I was borne in the old St Andrew's hospital near Sembawang. The houses there are meant to accommodate the allied forces comprising the British, Australians and New Zealander forces (ANZ). During the heydays, there were members-only clubs, pubs, schools and a community consisting of the forces' wives, children and parents staying there. It felt like you are in Britain or Australia and New Zealand. The houses are designed ingeniously with an airwell below to beat the tropical heat. And the sight was even more spectacular during Christmas as families celebrate with huge Christmas trees and lights in their homes...For your info.

Hi from Sembawang. Thanks for the tips

Hi Richard, thanks again for a wonderful clip with amazing anecdotes and historical backgrounds. Just one comment on the Sembawang Hot Sping.. i think the wooden buckets and "spoons" were not stolen but maybe kept by the authorities due to the current covid pandemic. From what i recall, the hot spring was closed initially during the Circuit Breaker period. When it re-opened, the buckets and spoons were not longer available... Perhaps it was due to hygiene concerns... ? Anyway, just sharing my thoughts. Regardless, please continue to keep sharing your amazing explorations. Thank you !!

The Marsiling tunnels is pretty popular nowadays. Been there once recently. There’s tours held by tour guides where participants have to pay $99 if I’m not mistaken. When I went there, there were about a total of 20 people including the tour guide already in the tunnels. And there’s nothing much in the tunnels really just a lot of mud mixed with rust and leaking water pipes that smell

As for Senoko chimney u pointed out in ur video, that is Senoko Energy one of Singapore's largest electricity retailer but, not a waste to energy plant. That would be the plant with the other 2 smaller chimney beside it. Hope this info helps. Keep up the good work.
