This is a classic record of our HISTORY. Many scenes bring nostalgic sentiments....the turbaned Indian directing traffic....the ahpian Chinese bearing sacks of rice over bouncy planks....and bumboats with simply punt power.
Many of us weren't born yet but I am sure you will recognise some of the buildings in the video. This is a MUST watch for your children too.

This blog was created in 2008 to celebrate the 50th birthyear of classmates from BPES, a public elementary school in Singapore. "Bukit Panjang" means Long Hill in Malay, and was a thriving village in the 60s to 70s located at the intersection of 3 main trunk roads, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Chua Chu Kang Road, and Woodlands Road that connects to Malaysia via the causeway. We started our primary schooling at age 7 and graduated at 12. Welcome and share your memories. Click on pics to enlarge.

Try remembering some of these faces, you may meet them along the streets one day. The world is not so big after all.
