Found image from google ... but Josephians will recognize the school stamp ... the principal then was Bro Joseph Kiely ! And 1C11 stands for Sec 1 QUOTE]

i still have my sec sch bus card. from sec 1 keep til sec 4. somewhere in the storeroom lah.

likewise i also kept the very last day coupon of the ERP (forgot last time call what. those u need to come out from the car and buy from the booth type).

also kept some 10cts and 25cts bus tickets. those the bus conductor will punch a hole type.

Was brother Joseph Keily some kind of artist?

The success of this thread obviously means that this forum is infested with old farts.

No Sam, the success of this thread is attributable solely to the threadstarter, MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
And I resent being called an old fart. I am an oldie but mouldie.

Nope .... close but nope...
Bro Kiely principal of SJI went on to be principal of CJC.
The one you had in miind is the ex-St Patrick's principal Irishman Bro Joseph McNally ... quite a renowned sculptor/artist founder of La Salle (now La Salle-SIA) College of the Arts .....

In fact, he became a Spore Citizen in 1985 - this type of FT we all can embrace. Many Patricians remember him fondly ....

Yes, I know about Bro. McNally. Did not know he became a S'pore citizen. he had to have given up his Irish citizenship than. Yes, we need more FTs of this calibre.

Just one note. LASALLE is now LASALLE College of the Arts. They had the SIA tag because SIA paid for the refurbishment of their Goodman Road Campus. When they moved from there to their black building in town, they removed the SIA tag.

Did you draw water from a well, and did you have an outhouse? I remember staying in the kampung. The chilli sauce that came with the bee hoon was shiok.

last time gov help you save money! if your car got 4 passengers no need to pay CBD! gov even build some stands to let people queue to hitch a ride into CBD! car owner can save some money also! anyone remember?

I remember those lining up atthe stands were so picky. If you don't drive a Mercs, u have hard time picking up 4 passengers. I remember there was stands near the Kallang Stadium, just before nicholl highway.

Back when Spore had locals involved in auto racing I remember there was a female driver. Can't remember her name but she also contributed to the Sunday Times on the racing scenes.

Anyone remember her name & what ever happened to her

Since we are all on the topic of 'yesteryears' & 'joo chiat', for those interested in reliving a rare recording of LKY's HOKKIEN speech recorded in Joo Chiat in 1966.

I used to have a CD of LKY released by ZaoBao around 1996 that has short multimedia clips of LKY speaking hokkien but I have lost it. Listening to this Joo Chiat Hokkien Speech, I must say LKY is a bloody 'cunning-linguist' - his hookien is bloody good even for a hakka who learned by rote & probably reading from script - but still quite 'cheem' & powderful.

http://misas.nhb.gov.sg/avs//data/clips/1998002416/1998002416.mp3

Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew speaks at Joo Chiat in Hokkien. He updates the people on the nation's progress, and emphasizes that Singaporeans must treat the country as "our home". He urges Singaporeans to work hard and sacrifice for a better future for Singapore. He stresses that the nation has to be tough-minded to ride through the trying times. PM Lee also touches on the issue of the sale of water from Malaysia. He calls on the nation to conserve water and criticized the Bt Batok grassroot leaders for organizing the 'Water Splashing' Festival on 18th April 2010.
