Y OCH Expedition Part II
2 days of weekend just pass me by this way. just got back from my driving lesson, and i'm gonna do some stuffs after this. o yay, INITIAL D is airing on channel U tonight! i've watched that umpteen times and yet i'm never sick of it. edison chen! jay chou! shaun yue! loads of eyecandies, and cool drifting. hahaha.
well, this has got to be the most 'exciting' weekend i had for the past 1 month. guess what? i joined the guys to more touring last night. han de forked out another 80 bucks to extend the car rental to one more day, and thus, we went out last night.
jason, martin, han de and han de's friend, marcus (of all names -_-), came and pick me up at 7.30pm and we went to Lavender for dinner. for the whole night, i sat in the front passenger seat, and was talking about all the cars stuffs with martin. i don't know why, i just seem to be so interested with all the automobile stuffs lately.
jason left to meet his friends after dinner, whereas the rest of us drove to Changi Village to OCH again. this time round, we tried to drive up the hill, hence we don't have to enter OCH via that steep and uneven stairway. however, the route up the hill was pitch dark, and martin had to use high beam headlights. we parked the car near the balcony, with the headlights switched on, so that we won't lose our way or something.
frankly, last night wasn't as scary as friday night. probably because jason wasn't there to tell us stuffs to 'add on' the effects. haha! we ventured into OCH, exploring each and every corner. we didn't manage to find the mortuary though. in fact, after reading articles from the net, i realised there's many parts of the OCH which we didn't came across with. and oh, although the hospital has been abandoned for years, there's still a very strong medicine smell in it.
i wasn't scared by the place, but by the darkness of the place. each time han de and marcus walked ahead, i constantly turned to make sure martin's still there with me. oh btw, we had 2 torchlights and one of which is held by me. han de actually wanted to take some pictures, which he got me to bring my digital camera. and my digital camera's battery died on us when we were about to snap the first picture. haha! in the end, we made use of martin's K800i to snap away. we were like some documentary channel reporters lah. lol.
this graffiti is so funny! the moment martin saw this, he exclaimed 'my former school's principal!'. haha! some people must have hated this principal so much, that they vandalised the wall with 'OW KOK BENG (insert-pig-head) PRSS. OWE $ PAY $'. LOL.
fret not! nobody else is taking this for us. martin set timer for it. lol.
outside this eerie elevator. the 3 guys looked so solemn, except ME! i don't know what the hell was i smiling for. haha, this is so not right.
4th July 1995. that's 12 years ago. not very long ago what?
han de and the 'toilet bowl'.
han de's attempting to press the elevator.
now here's some other visuals, taken by our driver cum photographer, ma tian tian! :D
a very old elevator mechanics.
a very dark and spooky hallway.
stairs leading to the next level.
broken glasses and blood stain on the ground. eew.
one of those wards.
we found this broken chair in the middle of this room, which we reckon it's an operation theatre.
luckily martin kept reminding me to shine the torchlights to the ground instead of the front, if not i'd probably fall right into this big hole. phew*
some of the many graffiti found there.
let's look at the exterior of the OCH block. btw, OCH is very huge with many blocks, and we only went to one of the blocks. some other blocks has got CCTV camera, which we didn't dare to risk getting caught for trespassing.
this was how dark that place was. the light beam is actually from our car's headlights.
that's all for OCH visuals. spooky huh? when i got home, i did some researching, and look at these articles which i've found.
One.
Two.
after reading that, i realised there's many other areas which we didn't came across. like the mortuary and torture chamber. i showed han de the sites, and he's keen to go for a 3rd trip next month! haha, that guy's insane! hahaha.
anyhow, here's some tips to share if you're interested in paying a visit to OCH.
- go in groups of even number. but, make it 4 or more.
- bring torchlights.
- never shine your torchlights into any mirror you see.
- never do any disrespectful acts when you're inside OCH, i.e: playing catching inside with your friends.
- don't run if you happen to 'see' anything. be normal.
- don't agitate any of the dogs, if you happen to see one.
- watch your step, 'cause you never know what you'll step onto OR into.
- wear something comfortable. i wore shorts on friday, and i felt really chilly. so last night i became smarter and wore jeans instead.
- don't try, if you're unsure.
there's lots of precautions lah. just, be careful. :)

alright, after our OCH expedition, we drove on to the Changi Beach Park, hoping to see more transvestites. we saw lots of family camping there instead, so no transvestites spotted at all. we went strolling at the beach, watching airplanes flying above our heads. darn cool! went back to our car and continued driving. went to martin's place at Tampines to take his cable, as we want the pictures we took at OCH. haha! so while waiting for him, i took pictures of our 'love' for these 2 nights.
whee.
they sent me home aftermath, and i got home at 1ish.
although the trip seems spooky and all, but the company was great. we had said to go for more touring in future. probably next month. this time round, we'll split the cost of the car rental. haha! ah, back in those days, all we talked about was night CYCLING, and now, times has changed. we're talking about night DRIVE. hahaha. :)
too bad. too bad. LARLING AH, i think only you understand what i meant. haha! TOO BAD. :x
alright, toodles. :)
