Hi Blog,
In my previous failed hike (
link), I failed to find the hidden place in Bukit Brown and since... My urbex exploration life was short... I doubt I will be invited by them ever again... but I was left GPS of that hidden location and I decided to do it myself.

Thank you Mr Sun for still accompanying me. |
I will show you the hidden place in Bukit Brown and the second part, was to try to enter to the Old Tata House again (
link). By the way, my apology that I have some missing pictures for my second part which might seem incomplete.
|
Hmm... 🤔 To be honest, I wanted to use you but... Anyway, I will bring you and see whether you will shine or not. |
 |
Shall we go now? |

Today was rather clear weather which meant we will have some time for a good hike. |
 |
Sunny and feeling great because I don't need to top a tee over me! 😂 Feeling so cooling when the wind blows. |

So where are we heading to? |
 |
If you have not checked on my previous failed attempt, do you want to make a guess? Yes! Today we are going to Bukit Brown again to find the hidden spot. |
 |
To think back... Why my urbex life is short... |
|
To be unbiased towards my stupid feeling... Mostly due to my introvert feeling... Or maybe I got rather "frustrated" when others just dismissed my feeling and reminding me that it is all my fault for feeling/being introvert whereas I can just switch my extrovert switches to make friends... |
|
But they forgot one thing... It takes two hands to clap... I tried to be extrovert and "approachable" trying my best to engage but if others just want to stay with their own cliques and distance me, it will end up I just eat my own damage... |
.jpeg) |
Ooo today Bukit Brown seemed rather packed than usual... Ooo! This month was the traditional Tomb sweeping. |
|
To be honest, I also hate myself for having such feeling like I am expecting some result from the effort to turn my extrovert switch... But telling me to dismiss my feeling and label it wrong... It will just spiral within me and I am the only one to face it... Trapped in the whirlpool, trying my best to swim out of it... Is it too much to ask to have a helping hand like a simple of understanding how tough it is for us to attempt to try than being "perfect" and open as the extrovert does? |
.jpeg) |
Anyway... I had arrived at the entrance of the next spiral... Time to get out from my mental spiral and face this. |
|
Today I should be able to find that place. Fingers cross. |
.jpeg) |
Familiar scene but yet unfamiliar because I don't always come here. |
|
Wearing red against the greenery is highly contrasting. |
.jpeg) |
Okay, I stopped right here and checked the GPS given by the urbex personnel. |
.jpg) |
It seemed like I am quite near but I don't see anything... After a few meters of searching towards the direction... |
.jpeg) |
Finally, I found the ancient staircase! 😂 |
.jpeg) |
In fact, it was the remnant of Old Chin Chung Public School. |
.jpeg) |
(Taken from my 2nd camera) It is a beautiful and tidy stairs. |
.jpeg) |
I googled and found out that Rojak Librarian's blog post contained some valuable photos of Chin Chung Public School. Please don't mind, this (link) It worth your time and a book scan of the school from National Library too (link). |
.jpeg) |
(Taken from my 2nd camera) It seemed like... I really don't know how to use it well... plus the pictures look blurry... |
.jpeg) |
(From my 2nd camera) Fish eyes or ultra wide angle is not be the ideal photo, was a bit unnatural... |
|
Compared the pictures side by side... If it was not blurred, might help... |
|
Honestly, this staircase is unique and it looks like a lost civilization. |
.jpeg) |
(From 2nd camera) It does help to showcase how tall the environment is. |
.jpeg) |
Good bye beautiful stairs. :) I will be back again. |
.jpeg) |
That place is beautiful but there are many ant trails along the stair... You can't just stand there without having ants crawling up your legs especially into your socks... |
 |
Time's up. I should come here earlier... Now I needed to meet up my friend Dongsaeng K nearby for a short exploration... |
|
Hmm... It seemed like I was too early. |
|
Time to try out the 2nd camera... |
.jpeg) |
I think it will work better with a selfie stick... |
.jpeg) |
Met up with dongsaeng K and passed by this wonderful log... |
|
(Credit Dongsaeng K) Red contrast greenery from a fatso like me. |
 |
So where were we heading to? |
.jpeg) |
Yes! We were heading to Old Tata House and for me, I wanted to give myself a chance to see whether I can remember how to get there or not... |
 |
(Credit Dongsaeng K) Carrying a brick, hoping it will save us from stepping into a drain... but it was so deep, it won't work. |
.jpeg) |
(Credit dongsaeng K) Just amazed by the massive root system it has here. |
|
(Credit dongsaeng K) We had bashed through thick foliage as tall as us. I am a shortie I know but thanks goodness there is no thorny plants around. |
.jpeg) |
...Due to some missing pictures (which boiled my blood), I will explain the situation here. Just less than a month since I visited there (blog link) there are a lot of changes in the foliage, it got so thick that I really need to bash through... All I relied on, are my instinct and sense of direction. |
 |
(Credit dongsaeng K) Thanks goodness, I remembered the route and after this fence... |
.jpeg) |
Finally made it to Old Tata (Police) House. My memories didn't fail on me. |
|
Maybe I can visit here one more time... |
 |
Trying to take a few shots here before the rain started |
|
Maybe a good torchlight will help to light up the place. |
 |
If not, it will be dark and grainy |
.jpeg) |
The bright area will not have any problem... |
.jpeg) |
Hmm... It got really dark here... We could hear the storm in a distance, trying to tell us to move out and hurry. |
 |
I returned to my favourite spring bed and... |
 |
(Credit Dongsaeng K) He snapped one for me relaxing on the bed |
|
Aww... Really missed this bed, so springy... |
 |
But I can't stay too long too... Dongsaeng K worried he might be lost here |
 |
Yeah, will have to bring him around. |
 |
Bringing him to some common and interesting places. |
.jpeg) |
Is this chair considered special? |
|
Special to me to make an epic scene, especially with rusty walls and dark surroundings. |
.jpeg) |
Wanted to take some pictures here and oh well, you can check on the previous post here too. |
|
How nice to explore and feel cooling compared to my previous hike. |
.jpeg) |
Can't introduce much places and time constraints. |
 |
I can only introduce some highlight |
 |
This tree is always included. |
.jpeg) |
Dongsaeng K wanted to visit the hall so no time was wasted, a quick visit and warn him the perimeter of staying away from camera. |
 |
(Credit Dongsaeng K) Here is the one picture which I appreciated. If can get such help on photography for my hikes will be great. Even though I am not a model quality. |
|
(Credit dongsaeng K) A nice montage of how thick the foliage was while we tried to get out. |
 |
Overall, it was a good quick hike and I believe the foliage will consume it if no one steps their foot again which is better. |
|
I guess I will try to go back again and have good documentation/imagination. |
Personally, I feel happy that I will be able to discover the hidden place and possible-revisiting the Tata house. At least... some form of achievement... for this stupid loser.
Jeff
