No lah, the SIAO LANG CHU lah.Originally posted by tranquilice:Buangkok Crescent is near the "Hougang Holiday Chalet".
I'm unsure whether service 119 will stop there. -
But last time nothing there was related to Kovan(besides the Kovan private housing estate)Originally posted by tranquilice:The area around the bus interchange is called Kovan Heartland Mall. And the MRT station is called Kovan instead of Hougang South. -
They have the same meaningOriginally posted by SBS9818A:No lah, the SIAO LANG CHU lah.
Woodbridge hospital. -
Agreed.Originally posted by Scania:But last time nothing there was related to Kovan(besides the Kovan private housing estate) -
Very true, Kovan is actually an area further down Upp S'goon Rd. It was about several years back when they were upgrading the area near the Hougang south interchange, adding new railings, addition of the rain shelter and that well nearby. They erected a map at the watch shop slope there(near the now called Guardian Phar) and called the area Kovan.Originally posted by Scania:But last time nothing there was related to Kovan(besides the Kovan private housing estate) -
dont think Svc 101 will stop at Woodbridge Hospital.. the route details of Svc 101 in the press release did not mention it..
as for Buangkok Crescent, it is to the west of Woodbridge Hospital.. if you are coming from Sengkang East Way (Svc 159 towards TPY) the junction of Buangkok Green and Cres is the one after the junction with Woodbridge Hospital.. the residents there actually quite sad, they have to walk out up to 400 metres (from the furthest) to Buangkok Green to take bus, but they couldn't really complain to PTC cos it's still 400 metres away from nearest bus stop.. imagine when it rains it's worse..! -
That's very true. Same for residents of Segar Ave in Bukit Panjang.Originally posted by ^tamago^:dont think Svc 101 will stop at Woodbridge Hospital.. the route details of Svc 101 in the press release did not mention it..

I remember there is a wet market before the MRT wat built... this area used to be a very busy area (during the 70s ).... the famous 6 mile market (the 6th mile from the start of Serangoon Road).... Why not call it 6 mile station instead and Kovan heartland mall called 6-mile point...Originally posted by Scania:But last time nothing there was related to Kovan(besides the Kovan private housing estate) -
It would sound very odd, like Ten Mile Junction in BP. Kovan sounds more upmarket.Originally posted by pkcheah100:I remember there is a wet market before the MRT wat built... this area used to be a very busy area (during the 70s ).... the famous 6 mile market (the 6th mile from the start of Serangoon Road)....

The market is beside the MRT entrance. Market was demolished abt 3 yrs ago.Originally posted by pkcheah100:I remember there is a wet market before the MRT wat built... this area used to be a very busy area (during the 70s ).... the famous 6 mile market (the 6th mile from the start of Serangoon Road)....

I know it call GaoWen in chinese.... its just a old time joke we had in secondary.... I remember we are divided into different groups and road name were used as groups name... and conincidencely, the T-shirt of that group was brown colour... hence we used to tease the people form that group....Originally posted by th1988:I can confirm it is called KAO WEN.
