Old national library

[zeebjii]

This one ? The son?
Hill Street Fried Kway Teow 禧街炒粿條 at Bedok South Market & Food Centre certainly has its fans, and is probably the top choice for many

There were 2. Bedok is the more famous one. The less famous one is now at chinatown food centre, still helmed by the old man himself. Go try before it is gone forever.

Able to refresh your memories of this place?

To be honest I hardly remember the National Library.

I think I may have been there once in my lifetime. At most twice.

If it is indeed what I recall it was an old place, old decor, musty air, hot with no aircon, old books. I think I was just there to meet friends then go somewhere else.

Street Fried Kway Teow (in Chinatown Complex Food Centre) 禧街炒粿条



Exploring the nooks and corners of the labyrinth of hawker stalls in the sprawling, time weathered Chinatown Complex food centre, I stumbled upon this queue and fried kway teow stall in the yellow zone. I instinctively whipped out my handphone and started taking pictures. A stranger, a gentleman in his 60s, gripped my forearm firmly and said, "This is the one. The best one. I have been eating this since they were in Hill Street. It's the same couple, cooking from young till now".

I don't like libraries.

I think I spent most time outside the medical library at NUS studying on those picnic tables.

The library itself was where I would go to for a break and go on the internet. LEONIS it was called. Chat with some arts gals. Or play "Chaos" which was like a jeopardy type game. Or go to soccernet.com or teamtalk.com to read soccer news.

Not hard enough. Actually medicine is a lot of memorizing.

crazy memorizing really

I remember some of the worst memorizing was Microbiology and Pharmacology in year 2!

Year 1 our batch was the pioneer batch to finish Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology in 1 year! Wah lau that one really jia lat. I barely scraped through. Lucky I did not have a single re. Went for Physiology pass/fail viva but passed! Heng ar! Many kena re in that year 1.

Clinical years more interesting not so much pure memory but rather remember clinical experience by seeing patients examining etc.

Year 1 was SUPER BORING!

Actually that's the thing with SG. Tear down old. Build new. Keeps changing.

The church I married my wife is gone. New one built.

The schools I went to also gone. New ones built.

Nothing much to go back to see to remember for us.

Too much greed in SG, always trying to make more money.

does it matter?they closed every old library after that.......the one at parkway parade got turned into an ntuc......the one are bukit merah......i think the one at marine parade is going soon too.....spent a good amount of time there in the past.....

 

[frenchbriefs]

lets face it singapore has no value for culture,history or identity......we barely have any history or architecture as it is......if u look at melbourne vs us.....which is nothing compared to europe.........

even our extremely old hdb flats along dakota is being demolished........if i had the 100s of millions or billions........ i would buy over those buildings and restore them and rent them out.......but of course it would be more cost effective to just build new condos or 30 storey hdb flats in their place.

Till today I still have no idea why they demolished the Van Kleef aquarium. Had a couple of school excursions there as a child.
