I was always curious about this particular block which is located right opposite my in-law’s place. It’s supposedly a block with a very long, slightly curved, corridor, so long that it makes for the block with the longest corridor in Singapore.
There’s nothing spectacular about this building other than the length of its corridor, but it’s kind of nostalgic visiting this block and walking through the corridors because it’s a HDB flat built in the olden days based on older HDB styles and design. And it gives you different perspectives and a panoramic scene as you walk from one end of the corridor to the other. See below image which I took on the twelfth floor of the block (sorry residents, I didn’t mean to disturb or look suspicious).
It was supposed to take only 4 minutes to complete the walk from end to end, which measures approximately 320 meters in total. I took double that time because I stopped a couple of times to admire some of the views and scenes from the twelfth floor. I couldn’t linger for too long though, because it might arouse unnecessary suspicion from those behind closed doors.
When I finally reached the end of the corridor, there was a guy who poked his head out of his unit to determine what I was trying to do. He was in shadows, and I couldn’t make out his expression, so I decided to run for my life. That ended my adventure at Blk 34 Whampoa West.
