Not true. Yong Siak wasn't a red light district though Tiong Bahru used to be a place where many rich men kept their mistresses.
The shophouse is still there but many units are now leased to cafes, bookshops and restaurants, sushi bar etc.. it feels a little bit like Holland V . Wife's family used to stay there for 3 generations.
That primary school is Tiong Bahru pri. My mum's alma mater. Bo Bo Tan somehow gave me an eerie feel. Maybe because one relative died in one of the unit there.

They have demolished Bo Bo Tan...and built a swanky condo over it....used to be chummy with the caretaker of the pri school...in fact, ate chapati in the house..too young to care or know about mistresses or pros or...anyway didn't live too long in that estate...remember it for I spent one of my fun years of life there...especially the community center near the market...remember use to play with the swing there...ahh!! Tiong Bahru estate..
I dont really comment here but I was from the former QSTS too, dr chee's sis was my teacher.
Dr chee's sister's english command is good. really admired her.she lived by 1 rule.Blood is thicker than water.
What ever dr chee does, she stand by with him.
btw is is wrong to use ( 's ) twice in this sentence?

fisherpie and ykhuser bros
I was from the late 80s till the early 90s one. QSTS looks very lok kok to me when i was there in the late 80s, ha ha those memories....yes miss those things back then, used to take train from my house to redhill and then alight from there and walk through those block of flats to school, now got two condos there, then in sec 4 afternoon session have to walk to the bus stop to take 33. now right beside the bus stop is NTUC dawson place.
my principle is miss ng after that she was transfered to hk international school and then the new principle is one mrs goh i think. Miss chee is really strict with the students and we are all terrified of her, but she holds her grounds well and does not practice favoritism among the students, so i find her OK, she taught eng and PE, but she only taught me PE for three years, no eng lesson from her. I remember Mr Seet, an old man who taught gymnastics or whatever u called that, like very popular among the students, not sure if he is still around, looks to me like in the 60s at that time. anyway when u were only 13, everything looks old to u, haha. :o
