Expeditions

Reached the vicinity at around 15:15, walked along the entire length of Bright Hill Drive from Upper Thomson Road to Block 446 (public housing apartments) [1.357645,103.831862] where I sat down and consulted my Google Maps aerial photo.
From 15:25 to 15:35, I made my way to the exact location and back out to the main road, taking photos as I went and attracting plenty of strange looks from passers-by.
Lastly, drove past the location in a taxi for a Speed Racer Achievement... Not awfully fast, but hey, it's a short side road, how fast can you go? Plus, there's the hump to limit your speed! (video)
