smell of rubber...

· the smell of rubber from the warehouses and the murky water of Singapore River filled with tongkang as one crosses from Eu Tong Sen St to Hill St on the way to school

Personal memories of Singapore and Penang....

Singapore
· Ayer Batu Kachang, (With Kebongs), at Koek Road - price 10 cents for a decent sized bowl
· "Bum Boat" trips to the Outer Eastern Roadstead used to cost S$1.00 before midnight and S$2.00 after midnight
· The 2nd. best cream puffs in the world used to be sold in a little cafe in "The Arcade".


Penang
· The best cream puffs in the world used to be sold at "Tip Tops" in Burmah Road.
· The entire school holidays used to be spent camping in make-shift tents at "Lover's Bay" Batu Ferringhi - Soap & Toothpaste were listed as optional supplies.
