Hi fellow Discovers. My name is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours. I will be doing my best to restart my walks in this "unique" time period in Singapore (and the world). I started this channel a year ago with an aim to "archive" as much footage as possible of our fast paced country. My concern at that time was, in perhaps another 20 to 30 years time, I might struggle to remember Singapore as it was and future generations would have "no" idea what Singapore was like. I took a hiatus because of the fear of the "unknown" (Covid-19). But I think this moment is an important event for Singapore, and I will do my best to record what life is like during this period. All future videos will indicated recording date and I will add some context to the day for further understanding. Context: On 22nd March, Singapore recorded 23 new Covid-19 cases, of which 18 were imported. Our government has encouraged all Singaporeans to come back in light of the severity of the pandemic overseas. On this early morning, the Singapore government decided to not allow short-term visitors to enter or transit through the country.
Funny fact i am chillin home (quarantine tho) a documentary about Singapore is running then your notification is poppin up. Can't wait to visit this country someday ! Stay safe, Alan
🤣It's amazing how TH-cam knows our viewing habits. I hope things are good for you. You back in France or still in Taiwan? Hope you are in the safer country 😉
H Alan, I can't thank you enough for your walking tours in Singapore and especially in 4K! You are doing God's work! Having grown up in Singapore and moved away at a young age, I greatly miss the city and hope one day I can come back and revisit the garden city. The nostalgia hit me hard when I see the hawker centers, MRT stations from your channel. Watching your videos help me to calm down after a day of mundane work and appreciate the time you took to film and upload these precious moments for us to see. Hope you stay safe in the midst of this pandemic!
Thank you. My longing for my second home in WHAMPOA LORONG LIMAU was cured by watching your video. This COVID is making it difficult for me to go to Singapore.
Thank you so much.. this place i started my job in Singapore 🇸🇬 so much memories and experience here. Its been long time, I wish can visit Singapore soon when the border open.
Thanks for sharing Nopi. I like Whampoa and the Balestier area. Its got some interest vibes. Will love to revisit it again some day. As for keppel area, I haven't been there in a while. Good idea on the cycling. Although I got to find time to transport my bicycle over there 🚲😂
Thank you for capturing this moment. my family and I lived at Block 35 Jalan Bahagia from March 2018 till March 2022.. we always go whampoa market and Fairprice to buy foods and groceries. also love the kopitiam.. good one coffeeshop sells good tasting Kopi C and we always buy from kind uncle beehoon with egg for breakfast. I will aways love this place. my children grow on this lovely place.. People at Whampoa area are so nice. we greet each other and very peaceful. very caring neighbors. so much memories. i wish to visit again one day.
Happy to hear from you again 😊I hope your stay in Singapore was enjoyable. The streets are soo different now. Quiet without all the visitors. Glad you like the sugar drink! 🍻😁Did you add lemon?
Yeah. Blessed to have a steady government who takes cares of us. We did go on a panic buying spree as well but our leaders went online and assured us all would be okay. So I guess the panic has abated... For now 😅
Hi my fellow walker Discovery Walking Tours TV, I have come to comment on the extremely high levels of success you have managed to achieve with this latest video contents of your channel, which has achieved perfection quality.
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV I left in 2012 so it's been a long time. I haven't even seen Terminal 4 at Changi Airport. So after the pandemic is over I would really like to visit.
Terminal 4 is quite nice. Last I recalled some of the budget airlines were stationed there. You would have to take a bus from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 though, its slightly isolated with no skytrain connectivity.
Fascinating. I don't think i ever been to Woodlands Circle before. Will be sometime before it happens but I will do my best. Thanks for the suggestion. Stay safe and healthy Xiao Xiao

I am happy the walk brought back good memories. That is my hope and aim for all my viewers. =D
Wa shiok! I grew up eating from this market! Used to live nearby. Balestier Point. The food there is damn good.
I rarely visit Whampoa estate and I'm glad I did. It's really old school yet I love the vibe ❤️😊

Happy to be able to share the footage 😁 where are you staying now?

Hope the time will come sooner rather than later 😄Which part of Singapore did you used to work at?
I was stay in Whampoa drive but then I move to carribean by the bay near harbourfront. Very nice view there, u should try go cycling there 😀

Thanks for sharing your story and that you managed to find this recording =) Been a long time since I visited the Balestier and Whampoa areas
We followed your guides when we stayed their a month back. Had our first chicken and rice with cane drink there.
Happy to hear from you again 😊I hope your stay in Singapore was enjoyable. The streets are soo different now. Quiet without all the visitors. Glad you like the sugar drink! 🍻😁Did you add lemon?
Interesting to se a fully stocked store these days. Almost always see the opposite. Gret to see what the situation on the street is. -H
Yeah. Blessed to have a steady government who takes cares of us. We did go on a panic buying spree as well but our leaders went online and assured us all would be okay. So I guess the panic has abated... For now 😅
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Yes, that must be a reassurance to have competent and concerned leadership. Stay safe friend. -H
@@CityWalks You too. Look after yourself and your family k. Be safe and healthy
Great video thank you. And thanks for going out in these unusual times. Stay safe mate
Thanks Victor. Lots of additional measures being implemented in Singapore over the coming days. This virus is totally changing how we live our lives
Thank you Alan. I really miss home, with the pandemic, I skipped my 2020 summer trip home. Hope I could go back for a visit this year. 🙏
You are welcome 😊 happy to have a clip that reminds you of home. Wherever you are, stay safe. Singapore will always be here for you 🇸🇬
Hi my fellow walker Discovery Walking Tours TV, I have come to comment on the extremely high levels of success you have managed to achieve with this latest video contents of your channel, which has achieved perfection quality.
Lived in SG for three years. Took a lot of things for granted. I do miss this place.
Any chance you might revisit Singapore in the future? 😊

I hope the Corona-19 goes away soon!!😢
I hope so too. In that time, stay safe and healthy 🤗
HI, can help take a video tour for woodlands circle? thanks
Fascinating. I don't think i ever been to Woodlands Circle before. Will be sometime before it happens but I will do my best. Thanks for the suggestion. Stay safe and healthy Xiao Xiao
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Thank you for uploading those amazing videos, looking forward to more
I love these open food halls, we don't have that in cold countries
Yeah. It's a real comfort for us Singaporeans to have these hawker centres.
Great video. Need more social distancing.
