I loved to do that when I was in pri sch. After school dismissal at 1+,there would be an interval of 1+hr before the reruns of SBC drama serials came on at 3pm.
I stay in the Deep South,hence I loved to watch the cargo loading/unloading process at Tanjong Pagar railway station and Keppel Harbour. I love cranes, container trucks, forklifts. It was really an intriguing process.This is a 2009 photo from the view from my window-spottiswoode is the flats you see on the left.
Is this picture taken from Bukit Purmei? -

If you look at the photo again, back then, at Keppel Harbour, there were no quay cranes (specialised in carrying containers) whichh you see in the pic. The loading/unloading was carried out by mobile cranes.

Gantry Cranes are the big monster cranes for lifting 20ft and 40ft containers but anyway you are lucky to have an interesting view from your window. -
