All that remains

 
So glad these floor tiles leading to the old Rochore Bean Curd is still around! When I went on 10 August, wanting to try this famous bean curd, it was closed :(

So glad that these floor tiles leading to the famous Rochore Bean Curd at Short Street are still around! Unfortunately, when I was there on 10 August, the day after National Day, it was closed. Well, definitely must go another time before it is gone, like so many things.

Like the Haw Par Building for example. In its place, this very swanky building (top pic). A description and history of the old building with its tiger on the facade and the roof top, can be found in the wonderful blog by Jerome Lim: https://thelongnwindingroad.wordpress.com/tag/selegie-road/.
It was my favourite building in this area (Selegie).

Changi Point re-revisited

 


Nicely manicured lawns and all but lacking in rustic charm. Well, could have been worse, right?

Remember this wall?

Crumbling old wall near the building (below) that was once part of an airport and then the People's Association of Singapore. Glad that it is still standing.
