    Default Changi Village area on track to be developed into sports & recreational centre

    http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/...medium=twitter

    SINGAPORE: The Changi Village area is on track to be developed into a sports and recreational centre.
    And analysts said the recently completed Changi Cove hotel near Hendon Road could be part of the government's plan to develop the entire area into a resort and corporate retreat site.
    Some of the colonial buildings around Changi Village are currently undergoing upgrading.

    There are plans to redevelop them into a spa resort, restaurants and even a corporate training centre.

    Five of the buildings along Hendon Road, which are expected to house the spa and restaurants, belong to the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).

    The SLA has since tendered out the operations of those five buildings.

    Nearby, the Changi Civil Service Club, located near the Changi Point Ferry Terminal, is also undergoing upgrading.

    The upgrading is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2014.

    The Civil Service Club said once the upgrading is completed, the gross floor area of the facility will be tripled. Twenty per cent of that space will be designated for food and beverage and leisure space outlets.
    Observers feel that the location in the east of the country can provide an alternative to the city centre.

    Chris Koh, director of Chris International, said: "It is away from the city so if one wants to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, the large populated areas, lots of commercial and industrial… then Changi will be a nice place."

    Are they reviving the race track here? They revive this place with the sea-sports theme.

    this place, the old commando camp, isn't exactly near the race track. having said so, a yatch club is just around the corner so my guess is it's gonna be a water-themed recreational concept.

    the place is nice, just eery in the night. perhaps they can develop the old changi hospital, which is across the road, into a haunting mansion for scare seekers

    care to share?

    the bungalow chalets always give me the creeps. but few places in sg offer such a big space at that price.

    I have come to accept that there are other dimensions and time in the universe. Some people are able to see another dimension and time frame that's all. They are actually all around us, not just at night but during the day as well.

    my sister has a colleague whose kid is able to see 'things'. the dad went on a business trip and dialled back home to chat on facetime. the kid went "mummy, why is there a woman behind daddy?"

    the woman was dressed in red........and why would the daddy display the other woman in full view?.......

    bottom line - if you use facetime, better not have it with someone who can see 'things'

    imagine you having a bad headache and the other party going "why is that hideous boy sitting on your shoulders"? YIKES!!!!
