Tajong Pagar railway station


last sun went out with family as usual.
my sundays are often dedicated to family. 

and dad suggested going to Tajong Pagar railway station which will be close soon. 
everyday on the way to work, i will see the sign of the tajong pagar railway station in the train station and was curious to find out where it was. 

i found out that it look like the st james power station from the view of my office. 



me and bro at home preparing before leaving house

dad drove to the railway station.

 

 
i was kinda impressed with the structure of the railway station.
it is a old building.
but u can see the structure of the buildings are good and steady. 
no sign of cracks or leaks. 

 


  

inside the railway station,
its a little old school, where people still take TRAIN to malaysia. 
i had never get the chance to go to Malaysia by train

 
the ticket counter to buy ticket. 

the price and the places and the departure time are all on the board. 
not much of technological advancement.


the chairs for the passengers to wait for their trains.

 

according to my dad, the building was owned 60% to malaysia.
which also explained the signed malaysia above.
the workers there are mostly malaysians, 
and the way how the things move and work, are exactly like you are in malaysia 

 

 

the railway track. 

didnt manage to take a snap of the train. 



 


 

feels like we had just gone to malaysia!
it was a nice experience to go before it officially close down. 
where mum shared her stories that my grandpa used to work there. 

i believe the place will bring back memories especially to our parents. 


after that, went to my grandparents' house which was rather nearby. 

and then we went to raffles city because i need my skin care product!  
and mum was just in luck that day.

mum went to join the lucky draw. 


and lucky her, she won the grand price of 700 bucks worth of  SK necklace!!

 

lucky mum!with her happy new loot!
