My daily schedules is SO PACKED! Constrain of time, juggling from work to study and so on everyday, every weeks and every months for the past 4 years.
I LOVE seeing new places and new people...learning and experiencing. At least we can broaden our mind when we sees other cultures and heritages.
These photos is back-dated. I join a trip to Singapore on May 17th, 2011 (Wesak Day for Malaysia's Calender) and cost me a very reasonable price (RM299). A fullhouse of UTMSPACE's students with their family and I am alone (Lone Ranger)...we head to Singapore from Kuala Lumpur by Coach (BUS).
Let read its HISTORY
Fullerton Road, at the junction of the Anderson Bridge and Esplanade Drive
The Fullerton Waterboat House
Often overshadowed by the neo-classical majesty of the Fullerton Hotel, the Fullerton Waterboat House is a gem of a building. Perched at the corner of Fullerton Road and the Esplanade Drive bridge, little is known of the elegant stone structure that has a gently curved facade. It is believed to have been the office of the Master Attendant – the first of whom was Captain William Lawrence Flint, brother-in-law of Sir Stamford Raffles. From his vantage point on the harbour, the Master Attendant had a clear view of all harbour activities of which he was supervisor. He was in charge of registering all water-going vessels and cargo, collecting anchorage and port clearance fees, as well as providing fresh water and firewood. For a time, the building also served as a post office for early settlers. With the advent of steamships in the 1840s, most port activities, particularly international trade, relocated to Keppel Harbour, and the Fullerton Waterboat House took over regional trade, providing fresh water to incoming ships until the 1990s.
