show notes
Rachel moves to Sembawang Estate and spends her first day exploring the only natural hot spring on mainland Singapore, cooking eggs at 70°C, then walking the colonial-era naval base remnants—from black-and-white bungalows to a battleship playground. She also sorts out her bank account and digs into the practical costs of settling in this quiet northern suburb.
