Funny, I remember the blow whistle thingy.
Yes lifeguards all look garang back then and I wanted to be like them. Heard the pay was $25 daily, a princely sum then and saw the lifeguards most of them got cars. Thought it must be the good life.

Queenstown Cinema Complex

My best coLLection of that area is the Queenstown cinema compLex which houses the bowLing centre;

Very old. That was ... started in the 50s ? 60s to 70s ? Was it even active in the 80s ? I think by the 90s this place had already slowed down quite a lot - an old estate with many old folks by then.

Okay, it sandwiched Queenstown Pri together with another strange school Strathmore Pri.

I was from one of these Queenstown and Commonwealth schools. Sounds British.

no lah this actually was the new kid on the block then...
When it was built there were already 2 cinemas nearby...Venus and Golden City.
It was hip place as it had a bowling alley....it was a 2 cinema cineplex way before the word cineplex was coined.
I think my first movie there was Rocky....the first one.
Later years came the KTV.

Hehehe. Thanks for posting this pics. Yes, very old. Think the place has been like that since the mid or late 90s. BTW, when was these pics taken? Is the place still around? NTUC is just behind and NLB is right behind NTUC.

Surprisingly, this cinema did not become a church. The other nearby 2 cinemas ended up as churches.

The KTV did not last long too. That time, all the GROs are Malaysia girls. PRC still haven't invaded yet.
