Abandoned barrels, buildings, guns and mice

We've been looking for beauty in unusual places around Singapore, since the local apartment wildlife is limited. Although, I have created the video which perfectly represents my year (toonie-sized coin for scale)!
When exploring, you never know what you're going to find!
Barry took us to the old Changi hospital. There, someone had put a solar speaker which repeated ghostly chants. 
I tell not a lie, it's as creepy as it looks!
We also went to the oldest remaining kampong, or village in Singapore, which has resisted development. It is has no driveways, limited drainage, and banana trees, just like the olden days!
In such old homes here, you sometimes see a bit of hoarding, these are January's Chinese New Year's decorations.
It's called Buangkok, but they do not have Thai food there.
To find the Thai food, we went to Changi, where we visited a historic, and now poorly aimed, big gun.
Nearby, there's a Thai restaurant complete with tuktuk.
We saw an airplane! And it took off! However, we only saw one, because the next one was scheduled 30 minutes later. (They used to be each minute).These adventures brought to you by Singapore's handy-dandy tracking mechanisms, which include our tracking app, mandatory online check-ins to all locations, and the less technical tracking dongle (meant for the oldies, but I keep it around in case my phone battery dies).
If you walk enough, you earn a well-garnished drink. I'm trying to establish the right step-count to sip-count ratio.
