I had asked a shopkeeper under my house (which is beside SATA) that the building has not been rebuild nor moved. It has been serving the place since the 1940s. It was located lower than the surroundings before the surroundings were leveled. Now it stands higher than the surroundings.

Narrowing down the search

As I had visited a redevelopment exhibition by HDB at Bedok last year, they highlighted the historical landmarks of Bedok in it. I did a Google Search and found the online version of it. They were : SATA Uttamram Medical Centre, Ping Yi Secondary, Bedok Hill, Bedok Corner and many many more places. From Wikipedia, land was dug from the current site Bedok Reservoir for the land reclamation at East Coast.

My Feelings

I enjoyed travelling around my estate. During the phototaking, when I went to TechnoPark, it was a private property. But residents has been using a path inside the TechnoPark so often that the security guard will not stop us. The security guard would just glance and see if were going to do any harm. I took a few pictures and soon left the Industrial Park. I also had to walk a long distance at Bedok Reservoir Park to get good shots of the reservoir and the surroundings. If i could do it again, I would try to go to more parts of Bedok and take more photos of it. (Like Bedok Corner, Bedok Hill)
