Saw this in the Straits Times today... Japan Airlines celebrated its 50th annversary of their inaugural flight to Singapore. It must be at the old Kallang Airport where the Stadium is. The old control tower still stands as People's Association HQ, visible from Nicoll Highway. The runway is probably the current Airport Road that intersects Mountbatten Road. I am sure many of us have pictures taken with the stone lion at the entrance of the old airport. Please post if you do.
So sad that all these childhood landmarks and memories get erased from our minds in our lifetime, including our school premise, unless of course you study at Telok Kurau Primary School before.
This one is for Mr Chow Chee Wing, our favourite teacher. He was born in 1948 when the State of Israel was formed by UK and the UN. My mum was 33 then and I was a egg in her ovary. Some of you were eggs in your mum's ovary before before she even reach puberty in 1948. The sperm DNA component of all of us probably didnt even exist yet.
Somehow I still can't get over the fact that he is only 10 years older than us. At Pri 5 and 11 years old, teachers were like GIANTS and wisemen, and that gap seemed so huge...
