North Point

We live in Yishun from 1995 to 2000. At that time my office was in a factory in Yishun. Northpoint was the mall my family frequent. At that time, B1 was in kindergarden and B2 is just a toddler. I also notice the crowd has increased. It may be due to the pasar malam. Northpoint is full of people. Alot of the stores that used to be there were still there but now taking smaller space. Toy r us had moved out and Popular and Timezone in the former space.

The 4D outlet in 7 Eleven in Chong Pang is very popular as it is a lucky store. The queue is usually long. Right opposite 7-Eleven is the coffeeshop where original Hup Lee Economical Beehoon stall. Hup Lee Economical Beehoon is available in most hawkers center as the owner franshise out their brand. Yes, the queue is long there too. In the hawker centre beside the wet market, I like the minced meat noodle store. It is available only in the morning.

By the way, the hot spring is just nearby too. Now it is fenced up as it is part of Sembawang Airbase. According to the news release, it is opened daily to the public. You have to walk a distance as there are no carpark nearby. It is interesting to see hot water coming out naturally in Singapore as we are not in a geologically active country.

Hihi, great to hear that. My manager told me abt the hot spring too. Next time I go there and take a look. Now, I'm working at Woodlands industrial park there and I have to alight at the bus stop near Northpoint to get back to Tampines. Wow long journey and expensive transport. $150 per month.

The hot spring is near to Chong Pang which is a distance from North Point. It is along Gambas Ave past Sembawang Road. At your age, I take bus from Northpoint to Holland Village then walk home. It is a long trip too...

You are right. Please also remember pay is low at that time too.
