I took it when I was a reporter in the 1980s and did a story on the residents living around the area. I think you may be able to find more old photographs of the area from the Singapore Archives.Lo Tien Yinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373209243311424836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358093583999571079.post-10874002938029598402022-07-22T09:59:20.630-07:002022-07-22T09:59:20.630-07:00You can imagine my horror as I was sitting next to...You can imagine my horror as I was sitting next to her.

However, I remembered it was the theme song of the "Andy Williams" show. To find a Huckleberry friend today, would be like locating a needle in a haystack.

My mum said he used to do tire retreading there too. You could wait there in a comfortable airconditioned room, with a sofa and could get coffee served to you too! She can't really recall, but she said that my grandfather may have painted the building red.Priscilla Seahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153888461083507359noreply@blogger.com
