I was living just next to the three primary schools at Margaret Drive, separated just by a fence, in a 3-storey SIT flat where the "New Optometry And Ocular Care Center" now is. There were three primary schools then - Birkhall Primary School,
Strathmore Primary School and Queenstown Primary School. They all existed in the same school grounds, the first being Birkhall Primary School where the present Queenstown Primary School is, followed by the other two primary schools in tandem.
I was studying in Margaret Drive Primary School from 1959-1965, a school then for normal children but it was later demolished. On the same site a new building named Margaret Drive Special School was rebuilt for autistic children. Later it is renamed Rainbow Centre.
Hua Yi Primary School existed on the same grounds as Margaret Drive Primary School but was built much later. You can view the picture of both schools at http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~ylma/margaret.htm, Hua Yi Primary School on the left and Margaret Drive Primary School on the right in the picture labelled "Class Primary 2A". I must thank the person who has posted online these pictures of my primary school as I do not have any.

Hehehehe. That reminds me of Queenstown Swimming Pool right behind Shell. Spent a lot of my time at the swimming pools those days. Think it's 30 cents or 40 cents for 2 hours. If inside the pool longer than 2 hours kena 'Or Kong'. In fact, till this day. I still like the style. 1 Olympic size pool, 1 very deep diving pool and 1 children pool. Strangely, I can still remember the canteen operator's face. Think he has a big mole. I always enjoy the Lo Mai Kai after the swimming. And that is 30 years ago. Man! How time flies.My best coLLection of that area is the Queenstown cinema compLex which houses the bowLing centre; where bookies wouLd be seated at the front rows offering odds to punters; and the SheLL petroL station next to the
