On this National day 2016, we decided to bring Royce out for a walk. While Grandma Oei's help to look after Baby Adele.
Grandpa Oei, Papa , Mama Koh and my maid took the hike at Tanjong Pagar railway station.

The railway opened on the 3rd May 1932, had seen better days. And only in my youth if I had known I would have recorded more memories.
Back in my younger days, from the window of my parent's house, overlooking the railway, I could hear the sounds of trains at times. The food vendors stalls will be extended just outside the station. I remember buying ramly Burger. I guess the beauty of the railway stations is in its historical moments , and allowing the kids to relive part and bits of the moment.

| The banners make the rail station live again. |
I have simply no idea but the kids are fascinated with railway and the stones. Royce was busy climbing up and down the pavement.
 |
| Even stones fascinated the kids. I guessed they really do have better imagination than adults. |
 |
| While the pretty nature are hidden away from the kids, the adults attempt to bring the child 's attention to it. But the rocks seems more interesting. |
 |
| Behind the scenes of the abandoned stores. |
The abandoned road makes an abundance of space for the kids to roam and glide . While the platform standing at the height enough to exhaust Royce.

| Long forgotten but was once lively in it glorious days. |
With Royce's energy running out, we have also claim the end of the day at Tanjong Pagar's railway station.
