Katong I12 Mall is now empty as fuck.

[ChristoJacb]

Yin nah deh! Shopping centers are out for me and my keling kakis. We now dancing around trees in open areas and eating curry as a recreation now

Closing for renovation from 1st March lah.
Anyway it was a redundant mall to begin with.
Katong area seams really jinxed. Apart from Parkway Parade, any other mall there is as quiet as a columbarium.

That mall has been quiet for at least the last 10 years.

Kim Seng is the original Paikia School....along with Bukit Ho Swee and Delta East were the holy trinity in that area for producing the bulk of SS members.

I was there from 1974 to 1979.....no paikias during those times. We were the meek and mild generation.

It's the name. Many people quarrel between 112 or I12. Make the name so complicated for fuck

If I remember correctly, there was a bowling alley at Kim Seng Road. I know because some pai kia acquaintances of mine went there to bowl after school.

Uncle Choo’s Diadora sports shop on the 2nd floor.
Americaya shoes which at the entrance of Yaohan.
Doremi at the 5th floor
They had a Swensen’s too and it was the first to use walkie headsets for the crew.....such a novelty back then.

Have bought shoes from Americaya at P.S. as well as Americaya in Isetan at Liat Towers. Yaohan Plaza Singapura basement, think it was the first food court right? & Doremi at 5th floor. One of the exit & entrance of Dhoby Ghaut Mrt Station was next to MacDonals's House. Shopping Centres back then had character's & each shopping Centre, its own characteristics & tenants we have fond memories of; unlike todays's. You see one, you see all, every centre, same type of shops etc

Before 112 Shopping Mall was developed, the site was occupied by the famous Joo Chiat wet market in the early 80's.

Next to the wet market was the Joo Chiat Police Station which is now occupied by the Indigo & Holiday Express Hotels.

Right next to the police station was the famous Roxy cinema.

Until the late 70's Katong had three cinemas; namely Roxy, Palace & Odeon Katong.

Lots of fond memories from those days.
