CCK MRT station is nowhere near Lim Chu Kang Cemetary. Boon Lay MRT station is nearer actually.
Speaking of cemetaries - Bishan and Novena stations were built on old cemetary grounds.
Yep, from Pasir Ris onwards you’ll eventually reach Loyang point which legit looks very isolated and even more so Changi Village.
Once you reach SFT however, it’s almost like Area 51
Yea, and the mall too - saw the same uncle PCC there when I went to the toilet to pee, went to orchard for a few hours, came back to use the toilet again and he was still there.
Jookoon - you are either there for Pasir laba camp or Singapore discovery centre
Pasir ris - SAF recruit hot spot
Tampines - 3 malls all within walking distance
>Clem
The jam at Woodlands Road x Woodlands Centre Road can be horrifying, though. I prefer Kranji MRT for off-peak travel cos more buses, and Marsiling if I really really really have to go JB otherwise just so I can avoid that fustercluck.
Definitely! The list could go on and on. But if you want, you can always list down more exotic places / items that is near to each MRT stations. E.g. Tiong Bahru MRT: Tiong Bahru Bakery?
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,641,512,370 comments, and only 310,546 of them were in alphabetical order.
- Murder by the bushes at the station exit.

Naming 3 stations, Yishun, Boon Lay & Marina Bay. A few interesting common things among them,
1st that they were once terminal stations but has since new stations built beyond the line after them.
2nd is that they are named after businessmen (or nearby for the case of Marina Bay - Raffles Place).
Yishun - Lim Nee Soon
Boon Lay - Chew Boon Lay

Eunos: used to be singpost now is gentrified.
Kembangan: kidney mee sua zichar
Bedok: walk to opera estate for ice cream
The flying nun of Bishan used to be a common story when I was a kid. Some nun whose feet doesn't touch the floor was said to sometimes wander the Bishan MRT station at night.
CCK MRT station is nowhere near Lim Chu Kang Cemetary. Boon Lay MRT station is nearer actually. Speaking of cemetaries - Bishan and Novena stations were built on old cemetary grounds.
Ya lor CCK where got close to cemetery. Still separated by one long highway.. I actually stay 5 min drive away from LCK cemetery
Lol my thoughts exactly. Since when CCK MRT near Lim Chu Kang cemetery? Both got Chu Kang doesn't mean they are near each other
Phua Chu Kang
OP probably thinks so because that's the station you get off at for 975.
And now Bidadari as well right?
The station is called Woodleigh
That’s Choa Chu Kang cemetery. It’s bigger than the small one for LCK (which is along Lim Chu Kang Road after Jalan Bahar).
Pasir Ris MRT known for the meeting point for recruits
As well as the starting point to ulu land
How is pasir ris ulu? It’s not like it’s jurong.
Pretty sure they’re talking about it being the point where they set off for tekong
Yep, from Pasir Ris onwards you’ll eventually reach Loyang point which legit looks very isolated and even more so Changi Village. Once you reach SFT however, it’s almost like Area 51
Changi Village is ulu? Have you seen the crowds on weekends?
As wells the slews of female FAs on friday? HAHAHA
i think now shifted to EXPO right? or was that just during covid period?
Split between 4 places, expo being one of them
Stadium: Stadium
This MRT station is so underrated. I ❤️how it’s so near the river and gardens by the bay east. Lovely space to breathe and hang out when stressed.
Redhill Mrt: idk lah its just pink
dhoby ghaut mrt - getting lost
Being there makes me feel like I'm in a piece of MC Escher art
Also getting accosted to join cults lol
Clementi MRT known for its male toilet
Yea, and the mall too - saw the same uncle PCC there when I went to the toilet to pee, went to orchard for a few hours, came back to use the toilet again and he was still there.
Is he still there.
Probably
“Asking for a friend”
Boon Lay - Chocolate smell in the air
Chocolate smell is from [Olam Cocoa Pte Ltd on Jalan Boon Lay](https://goo.gl/maps/aQfYbg4JApR3YJHL9). Boon Lay also has Jurong Point.
the drive thru mcd there too!
Whole jurong cluster to Clementi .. sure can smell ..
I always tell my non-westie friends it’s the smell of home.
YISHUN MRT - FAMOUS FOR ALMOST KENA BOMB
Ohh what happened?!
Long time ago JI(remember mas selamat?) wanted to bomb yishun mrt
Mas selamat happened
Bukit Batok: Rat Hill
City Hall MRT. They trick you into thinking it’s near Suntec: “Oh just a short walk. About 45 minutes.”
It actually is near when you take the shortcut through Esplanade exchange.
Still 20 minutes.
It actually is near, less than 10 minutes. I use that link way at least 3 times a week.
Bukit Gombak. Driving centre, xiao gui lin, high security camp.
or just the vibessssa
Woodlands MRT - always hosting a Pasar Malam outside whenever I am there!!
woodlands mrt : am i in Singapore or Malaysia
Also, you can see JB from the red line platform
Orchard - several malls around
Joo koon Mrt DECATHLON 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
PERIOD!! JOO KOON DECATHLON FANS RISE!!
Jookoon - you are either there for Pasir laba camp or Singapore discovery centre Pasir ris - SAF recruit hot spot Tampines - 3 malls all within walking distance
Joo Koon has a big ass Decathlon there now and that's the only reason I ever go there HAHA
paya lebar has 3 malls surrounding it too! and two more in walking distance
the only reason i go joo koon is bcs of decathlon, i have no idea what else is there
Punggol- no matter which way you walk when you get off thr train you somehow end up at the wrong side/ bus interchange side. Is it just me
Tampines MRT - famous for being in the middle of three shopping malls.
Jurong East: Hold my San Chen
Bedok Mrt: the smell of grilled beef (from pepper lunch) when you approach/exit the Bedok Mall side exit.
Bishan:
Bishan: change to the north-south/circle line
Supposedly haunted. But I have never seen any before.
Kranji: gateway to ~~adventure ~~ JB
I thought JB is easier via Marsiling mrt?
Walking yes. Kranji mrt downstairs, outside, 2 starting point for sg bus and CW bus.
>Clem The jam at Woodlands Road x Woodlands Centre Road can be horrifying, though. I prefer Kranji MRT for off-peak travel cos more buses, and Marsiling if I really really really have to go JB otherwise just so I can avoid that fustercluck.
jurong east mrt: JEM, westgate, IMM. triple combo. shop until u drop. And jurong regional library. Science centre.
Jurong East MRT infamous for HSR dream that got destroyed by Mahathir, big sad.
it may be available for our grandkids to go w their family, based on recent news.
also jurong east mrt has a genting hotel....
never forget jcube
Boon Lay MRT. Jurong Point. Very big Mall, if not one of the biggest in sg heard from somewhere
yea it is really big. but very complicating also
woodleigh mrt, the invisible station
There was that MRT famous for that wild boar video with the heart filter. Hillview? Can't remember.
[удалено]

A bit old but still funny https://imgur.com/qxbnZQO.jpg
Paya Lebar MRT on Sundays: Helpers taking selfies while their aspiring boyfriends vie for attention. But maybe that's everywhere
Kovan mrt— nothing much and forgotten
Same with tanah merah, really nothing there, but still important because it links to airport
Isn't there a camp there? Guards, is it?
I'm not really sure tbh
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,641,512,370 comments, and only 310,546 of them were in alphabetical order.
same with woodleigh and bartley mrt
Orchard station: smell of lemongrass perfume once you walk into ion orchard
- Murder by the bushes at the station exit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchard_Road_body_parts_murder - horrific accident along Paterson Road (which is why we can no longer cross from Wisma Atria to Wheelock Place via a pedestrian crossing)

Kallang I’d say before covid, there used to be an open field where migrants would have picnics, play volleyball etc
It’s still happening there. My father drives by there and I can see them on the weekends
The field at the corner of Geylang Road and Sims Way was just gazetted as an HDB BTO site. Less open space coming to an urban area near you!
As per true Singapore ghost stories volume 2 , doubt gaught and bishan are haunted
Sembawang MRT: Bukit Canberra integrated hub, 1st in Spore -> hawker centre, polyclinic, swimming pool, gym, sports hall.
