We used to go and have dinner for important Chinese events. The place was always filled with customers who were airline crew. Now Wing Seong is taken over by the children at Burlington Square. The food is still good. <br />I remember Bugis Street as well, it was such a crowded street and there were rickshaws, tourists and sissy boys. The boys were flamboyant and wore hills, wigs, and fully made up. We used to go there to have Kok Kee wanton mee (now bought over by Jumbo Group). <br />A little further down at Beach Road, there were stalls roasting chicken wings. <br />I wonder if Esplanade was open at that time, famous for its satays and the walk by the waterway.<br />An acquintance had a barber shop along North Bridge Road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-67216707988171546292022-01-09T15:55:23.010+08:002022-01-09T15:55:23.010+08:00Hi Selvam,

It is precious to many of us who are in our 50 or 60's and we still keeping in touch with some teachers and classmates till today.<br />My family of 5 brothers and sisters were graduated from same Selegie while they were at Short St. <br />The same mini bus driver Uncle took care of our transport from Primary 1 to 6 and he was a fatherly figure to us and we were scared of him as young children. <br />Good memories of the two Fish shops opposite the schools and porridge stalls along Short Street. <br />The Teachers were so caring and strict with us. Remembered learning the habit of brushing our teeth along the drain near the gates inside the school compound. Do not throw rubbish on the floor if you cannot find a bin as part go "Keep Singapore Clean" campaign. A habit formed till today.

I still visit Queen Street very often nowadays (visit Albert Centre Food Court for breakfast). As I walked along the streets in the vicinity, I could not help but wonder with a tinge of sadness how the landscape of this area has drastically changed from that in the 1970s. Only a few old buildings at the Victoria Street/Albert Street/Queen Street junctions remain. The rest of the landmarks have long gone and are replaced with modern tall buildings.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-13090344933526699852019-09-06T14:29:14.445+08:002019-09-06T14:29:14.445+08:00Hi Victor,

My grandfather O'tah kueh shop at Queen Street where the morning wet-market and infront are the rows of pig meat sellers stalls.<br />Thank you for all your photos of Queen Street morning wet-market and bakery shop which was a very memories of my childhood growing up days staying at this wonderful olden Singapore street of "Queen Street".

Our shop is opposite the corner coffeeshop.<br />The owner of the coffeeshop ( junction of Pasir Panjang Rd and South Buona Vista Rd ) was Ah Yoke .<br />The marker of 5.5 ms was a concrete about 50cm X 50cm x 50cm, there were some markings on top of the concrete.<br />Unfortunately I don't have any photo and can't remember the wordings. Beside the concrete was a Red Post Box with E II R mark on the box.<br />The bicycle shops and our shop was burnt down in 1979, that when we move to Clement.
