No worries, but I reckon it's good to be 'exact' :P

Hmmm..that building in the background look awfully familiar. Mind if I ask for a clue SMS, perhaps the locale..nth sth east or west on this island?

It's west of the CBD and East of Tuas. As I said, I think you can see it from the PIE (North side of PIE) I think it is a military structure as it is not shown on any of the street directories also it's been there as long as I've been here. So . . . . only asking where it is, not what is it. Even my boss doesn't know what it is nor anybody else in the office. :wink:

SMS, the reason , I said that it was a water tower was because when I was in old SAFTI camp in Upper Jurong during my army days and we use to have to run up the slope towards this structure when we ran outside of the camp and was told that this was a water tower to cater to the factories in the industrial estate around it.

James**, It's your shot!

Okay, I'll have to give it to you even though you still haven't told us where it is.

For everybody else, it's just past the Toh Tuck Ave exit (after Clememti) off the PIE and it is on the hill behind Bukit Batok St 23 behind the Tacam Building and Chinese Temple there.

Have to give it away as I'm off in about 2 hrs to Surabaya for 3 days for a wedding and won't be able to go online (the System being down for 2 days was like training for the trip! :mrgreen:
