During one of my history lessons many years ago, I have learnt that the British surrendered unconditionally to the Japanese at the Old Ford Factory located along Upper Bukit Timah.
I had always thought that the Old Ford Factory have been left vacanted ever since the war ended.
An abandoned building with such a historical story behind it would surely be home to many grievous spirits? (I really outta hand it to my vivid imagination sometimes!)
Coincidentally, that is where I had to pass by on my way to school every day.
Maybe that is why I would often get the creeps each time my bus pass by it during my journey to school in the pre-dawn hours.
After graduation, I was still fascinated by the rich history associated with the building (albeit still fearful of whatever thing that could be lurking inside).
What I did not know was that The Ford Motor Factory has actually resumed operations after the war in 1947 and was shut down in 1980.
It was only a week ago that I learnt the building was gazzetted as a national monument and already turned into a exhibition gallery from 2006.
Silly me! And I thought the building is still in ruins!
