Wasn't Arthur Lee the CO of ITD back in the late 80s? If I recall correctly, he was holding the rank of LTC then.

I forgot to add.... Behind the bus-stop was the Bidadari Muslim Cemetery before it was exhumed.

You are most welcome. I was from Bravo and that was in early 1987. If I recall correctly, back then the company lines were arranged around the parade square with the companies placed in alphabetical order anti-clockwise. I wasn't aware of the Charlie company story until I ROD.

I did my BMT in ITD in the late 1980s and the company that I was in was next to Charlie Company and I have seen that bunk with the door in the middle. When I was a recruit then, I was wondering why the bunk has a door in the middle when both ends of the bunk already has doors where recruits can...

The Bidadari Christian Cemetery was a terrific place before it was exhumed if you are seeking for some tranqility. I spent many moments jogging inside on late afternoons beforethe exhumation and I will usually read the many tombstones after I am done with my jogs. So when exhumation began, I...

When I hit 40, I noticed that I had great difficulty making out the words when I read. So i went to make a pair of glasses because of my lao hua yan and I have never worn spectacles up to that pointin my life. Fitness wise still ok given that I have been actively jogging since when I was 28...

Ah yes.... Back then, I bought these snacks at the school's tuckshop more for the small plastic toys than the snack. Cost about 20c or 25c then in the late 70s? Can't really recall. There was also another snack called "Kuai Kuai" that was bundled with a small plastic toy too. Aside from...

Wow... you still have them after all these years. Thanks for posting and sharing the pics!

No idea on the stall at Buangkok MRT but I distinctly remember that the lady who does the frying at Shunfu is the same lady at the Lakeview stall years ago as I still frequent the stall at Shunfu whenever I am around that area.

There used to be two schools along Upper Aljunied Road. The one nearer to the Bidadari Christian Cemetery used to be the Sang Nila Utama Secondary School which is now part of the Gurkha Contingent camp. Next to this old school was a small Singhalese cemetery which was also exhumed. Nearer...

Many thanks to you bro erection2011.... I didn't even realise the play on the words... I just typed as my thoughts flow. I'd like to upz you in return but I don't know how to do it and I think I am also too 'young' in the participation sense to have the power to upz other forummers given that I...

Took a ride on one of those yellow-top taxis shown in the first post way back in the 70s. I recalled the smooth 'leathery' seat and the heat on a hot day with the wind rushing in as the taxi cruised.
