The guns have fallen silent....24th Oct Sunday ride

Changi battery
I remembered driving pass this sign - "johor battery " in my NS time to Selarang camp but never went in to take a look. These my friends are monster guns that was part of the British defense during World war II.The shells alone is 800 kg!!!  Go figure..and the guns are still there...at least from what I can see in the website.

Around there is the Changi war chapel which doesn't look like much but it kept alot of the soldiers alive thru faith. This is one place which I like to visit and feel the surroundings..
Changi chapel

















Old Changi hospital






Another place which we will visit is the old Changi hospital and old army barracks. Old changi hospital because it was the filming spot for the truly original SG ghost story.. I think we will just skirt pass it... More infor here... real or fake, you decide.
