Control Island-tripping
with smove
By --------- Charmaine Lee The #firstworldproblem is real.
We want to explore our island,
yet some places are only
accessible by car.
Introducing smove, a car
renting service where clients
can make online bookings
round the clock. Making one
is simple, and one-way trips
are possible as drivers can
return the car at any of the
25 drop-off points.The best
part? It costs as little as $5
for 15 minutes, and the price
includes insurance and petrol.
We’ve come up with a list of
places to explore by car, so put
your excuses aside, head out
with a valid driving license and
gear up for some adventure.

3. Kampong Lorong
Buangkok
Touted as mainland
Singapore’s last kampong, get
a taste of kampong spirit and
find out what it was like to live
in the 1950s. Houses with zinc
roofs still stand their ground,
and residents grow their own
produce. Visitors can also pop
by St Luke’s Church, a small
chapel that used to serve the
residents of the kampong.
Tanglin Hill Brunei
Hostel
Climbing up the hill isn’t
exciting, but what you’ll find
at the end is. The abandoned
Brunei Hostel has been
uninhabited for over 25 years.
Its state of ruin calls out to
the adventurous for night
walks, photoshoots, and video
productions. There have
been reports of ‘sightings’,
but we’ll leave you to decide
for yourself. Need to get away
quickly? That’s when the car
comes in handy.
Neo Tiew Estate
Once a public housing
area, the estate is now used
as training ground by the
Singapore Armed Forces.
Take note, and do not venture

during a military drill. It’s
what you’ll expect from
abandoned buildings; cracked
tiles, overgrown weed,
rusty windows, graffiti and
paint peeling off the walls.
There’s even an abandoned
playground. Night walks,
anyone?
WOODLANDS TERRACE
It’s grocery shopping taken
to an all-new level. The
food factories may look
intimidating, but many hide
a retail corner where you can
buy groceries at less than
what you’ll expect to pay for
in the supermarkets.
Enter a giant freezer
at Fassler Gourmet (46
Woodlands Terrace,
Singapore 738459) and select
premium grade sashimi and
seafood for steamboats and
BBQs. Don’t worry if you’ve
made a spontaneous decision
to head there after a day of
fun in the sun, they have a
permanent rack of jackets for
visitors. For party-friendly
finger food, head to William
Koo Seafood (56 Woodlands
Terrace, Singapore 738464).
