I used binaural microphones to record the environmental sounds. So if you have a pair of headphones, do use them, it will be quite an immersive experience 😀 If you notice any interesting points in the video or want to ask about something that was caught on camera, comment with a time stamp (eg 00:01) and I will be sure to check it out. I am also interested to know where you are from 😄 so drop a comment below and say hi! If you are keen to see more of Singapore, check out my playlist below: ruclips.net/video/tnxOuQw2L5E/видео.html
Alan i cant see enough of this videos from Singapore..i remember hougang ..i rented 10years ago a room in Hougang...oh my god so many memories...i must settle down in SG seriously
Thanks for sharing Firat. Happy to hear the video stokes memories of your time in Hougang. Do you still remember some of the shops in the video? Or has everything changed from how you remember it?
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV yes..but the most time i took the MRT to Clubb street,Orchard road and other places...thats was my second visit 10 years ago SG...
i lived also in East coast,Serangoon,Orchard road, many places to live and explore..i had projects and try to find investors years ago..it was great experience..i start to live from 2 wekk to 4 week and then 3 months and in the i stayed 5,5 month....
I Live In Hougang Since My Birth In 2004. It Was My Childhood Place Where I Would Usually Take The North East Line To The Hospital At Little India With My Parents. There Is Many SBS Transit Bus Services In The Area As Well As Two MRT Lines - North East Line And Cross Island Line.
Its definitely a lot more accessible and will be even more accessible once the Cross Island line is ready in 2029. Which part of Hougang are you staying at?
@Discovery Walking Tours Tv. Hi Bro, Another awesome video n thank you for sharing as I get to "tag along" rediscovering and collecting old memories of Hougang. Initially, this wasn't a popular estate though some of the blocks built, were award winning ones. Many of the first generation residents are from Kg Tengah, Lor Renjong, Lor Cheng Lim, Punggol Tracks 20, 22 etc. Talking abt the old fishing port at the end of upper serangoon road, brings back memory of a teow chew porridge stall. There was a helper, who was fast in totaling up bills manually and patrons called him, " tain now." After resettlement, I understand that they took up a stall in Kovan. Its so, different now!
Thanks for sharing some of the "old" stories of Hougang. Its viewers such as yourself that adds "life" to a simple walk. One of my biggest hopes, when I started this channel, is that people would come forward to share their stories/childhood in their area. Singapore changes so very fast and I am sure in another 30 years or so, we won't recognise it. But videos such as these will allow us to remember what things were like before
Thank You for great quality video, I have not back to Singapore almost 20 years. I really missing food hawker there , hopefully you will takes more video of food hawker in Singapore , Thanks.
20 years is a long time ago. You might not recognise it if you see it now. I do my best to walk though some hawker centres in the various neighbourhoods that I film. Where did you previously stay when you were in Singapore?
Oh nice! I recently filmed Ang Mo Kio Central area. If you haven't watched it, the link is here. ruclips.net/video/nHtOJrL9yUE/видео.html I think you will remember the hawker centre! =D
Lolz. I hear you. We got to be thankful to garmen who build as many mrt as they can manage. Last time this place really niao bu shen dan. Hard to get anywhere and always jam.
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Yeah boss. Upper Serangoon part also always jam. Going home from my school (last time in Queenstown) damn sianz ok. Hatez it.
For myself I studied at Tanglin Sec, everyday got to take this flyover from clementi to west coast. Don't know how many hours of my life I wasted just to make that transit.
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV It is a known fact that Hougang missed a couple of amenities such as MRT for a couple of years, just because they voted in opposition. As a resident, we were in a way experiencing a "collective punishment" - by being placed last or delaying any development - that might be useful for the residents. Even a PAP MP also pleaded for Hougang residents that they should at least deserve a Singapore standard transport system when PAP was championing world standard for Singapore. Do remember the residents of Hougang are usually the type that serves their NS quietly and loyally till ROD. In most cases, in Xiong units. No white horses or those wanting to be exempted or deferred. Despite all that being a Hougang resident - we still get the short end of the stick. We forgive (MRT eventually came), but we don't forget. Sorry for venting or going off tangent...just a little history and context on the transportation system in Hougang. A resident since 1980.
I haven't lived in Singapore since I was ten, but Hougang is close to my heart. Two of my mum's sisters and one of her brothers still live there. I almost expected to see my uncle chilling in the mall. LOL.
Discovery Walking Tours TV lol! No he’s pretty laid back. He’s in his seventies now so more focused on enjoying life y to o the fullest and not worrying about things.
2 yrs back i rented a room in hougang everyday i walked to college from this place I had done my brows done at fashion beauty buy breads shopped at fair price Evrrything walked through this place to reach flat So many memories

This is an interesting area, food stalls here and there. Thanks Alan
Looks so peaceful there 😀 Thank you so much for sharing, when I settle down in Singapore I might choose to live around this area.
Its a nice homely area. Depends on how you look at it but I always felt Hougang retains a lot of its olden days (1970s and 80s) feeling and vibes
Thank You for great quality video, I have not back to Singapore almost 20 years. I really missing food hawker there , hopefully you will takes more video of food hawker in Singapore , Thanks.

Thank U so much for sharing tis video..
Thanks Julia for watching it 😄 Hopefully the footage brought back some good memories for you
My old neighbourhood. I’ll be honest with you. I hated living in Hougang. Only because it was before they had the MRT. Took forever to get anywhere.
