Hotel New World
Collapsed in 15 March 1986

I stayed there, Gloucester Road, about 300m from HNW. It's a sad day I'll never forget.
I was walking home from Selegie Road and i heard a man yelling "toh liao..toh liao (collapsed)" while running to HNW's direction. He was not alone. I was puzzled and sense something has happened but clueless what's going on - until i reached home and my family told me that HNW had collapsed - according to Reddifusion's news. I was shocked, and rushed to the site. HNW had down to less than 2-storey high..
I used to go to the barber shop which was located at HNW.

Farrer Park open field became the base for choppers, it's also the place where the first plane landed singapore.

...Norfolk estate which was demolished more than 20 years ago.
Pek kio vicinity, then we were lost old neighbours la. The very quaint english names for estate rds. Got swimming pool in estate... err, farrer park public pool 1. But didn't catch ang peng siong's practice swims with his coach. Shortcut through farrer park field to race course rd for fish head curry. Owen rd teochew porridge was less hi-so then:p
