Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 25 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 80% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 21 February 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 31 December 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
[ 2023 in 12 photos ] 2023 is coming to an end, so here’s my year-end tradition of posting 12 photos, one for every month of the year that has just passed. https://www.historybyeisen.com/post/2023-in-12-photos
[ Urban renewal in Shenton Way and Tanjong Pagar ] 1. Torn down: AXA Tower at 8 Shenton Way To be replaced by: Skywaters Residences 2. Torn down: Keppel Towers at 10 Hoe Chiang Road, and Keppel Towers 2 at 240 Tanjong Pagar Road To be replaced by: Keppel South Central 3. Torn down: Tower Fifteen at 15 Hoe Chiang Road To be replaced by: A hotel 4. Gone: An open field at the corner of Tanjong Pagar Road and Bernam …
[ The Cross Island Line on a hill ] This is the construction site for the Cross Island Line section of Ang Mo Kio Station, which will become an interchange with the North South Line. The view is from the 12th and top storey of Block 424 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3. Its residents will have to endure the noise and dust from the works for the next seven years in exchange for an MRT interchange at their doorstep. https://www.…
[ The Cheng San Market & Cooked Food Centre Tua Pek Kong Shrine ] Whenever I visit a hawker centre for the first time to have a meal, I also search for its shrine. For every hawker centre, there is a unique shrine with its own deities, bearing a unique history. The hawker centre shrine is the nexus of the combined faith of a closely-knit community. This is the shrine for the Cheng San Market & Cooked Food Centre at…
[ The Datuk Gong shrine of Tanglin Halt ] As the residents of Tanglin Halt Estate gradually move out because of the Selective En Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), the long-term future of a Datuk Gong shrine in the area is up in the air. The shrine is at the foot of a tree along Tanglin Halt Road, between Block 48 Tanglin Halt Road and Block 50 Commonwealth Drive. https://www.historybyeisen.com/post/the-datuk-gong-…
[ The Lorong Chuan Overhead Bridge ] The Lorong Chuan Overhead Bridge is unique because it looks like it belongs to another era. The overhead bridge resembles an elongated, olive green shipping container, with rows of octagonal windows on both sides. One might mistake it for a temporary structure, or an overhead bridge under construction. But, it is the finished product - and it has been there for decades. https:…
[ Sending off the Nine Emperor Gods ] In modern Singapore, ancient practices like the Nine Emperor Gods Festival must adapt to urban development and redevelopment. Around 10.30pm, the dragon boat was brought out to sea; flames lit up the night sky as the boat was torched. As devotees filed out, a brisk landward wind blew ashes from the burning boat over the crowd, prompting cheers. https://www.historybyeisen.com/…
[ Nine Emperor Gods Festival: Leng San Giam Dou Mu Gong ] It was time to invite the Nine Emperor Gods. A small group of devotees, with a medium, headed out to sea on a motorboat, while the priests waited at the edge of the pier. The motorboat returned after 10 minutes; the medium had the Nine Emperor Gods in him. He was led up the pier, where he was greeted by lion dances and hundreds of devotees in a carnival-like…
[ From Vernon Park to Sang Nila Utama Road ] On 25 September 2022, Sang Nila Utama Road in Bidadari Estate opened to vehicular traffic. In turn, a nearby road named Vernon Park was permanently closed - as I had predicted in October 2020. Sang Nila Utama Road will be opened in two stages. It is now a meandering road with two U bends, which will eventually be straightened. https://www.historybyeisen.com/post/from-ve…
[ Singapore HeritageFest 2023: A Brief History of Transport Networks in Singapore’s Urban Landscape ] During my talk on 200 years of Singapore transport and urban history, I introduced audience engagement, inviting participants to answer two questions on their mobile phones: 1. What is one enduring memory you have of Singapore land transport, which no longer exists? 2. What is your biggest wish for Singapore trans…
[ Singapore HeritageFest 2023: A Brief History of Transport Networks in Singapore's Urban Landscape ] This Friday, 12 May, as part of this year's Singapore HeritageFest, I'll be giving a talk on 200 years of Singapore transport and urban history. As usual, the talk will draw on material from my book Jalan Singapura: 700 Years of Movement in Singapore. There'll be broad themes across space and time, and specific epo…
[ The Jalan Lam San Roadside Shrine ] At the corner of Brickland Road and the Kranji Expressway, to the west of Choa Chu Kang town, is a small, nondescript lane called Jalan Lam San. The place name goes back to the 1940s, and the road is a remnant of a rural past that will soon make way for Tengah town. The road is currently used by heavy vehicles like dump trucks to enter and leave Tengah town’s construction sites…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @historybyeisen. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 10 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
