Queenstown Today

[Froggy]

Wow thanks for the tip. Remembered they pack their takeaways in those printed white cardboard boxes Machiam Ji char stalls.
I went back some time ago to visit a watch dealer that setup shop there.....but didn't venture to the HC.
Still got the quaint ambience with the old school Meng's Clinic still around.....me thinks at least 50 years history. Hard to find anywhere else in Sg now.
Heard the place slanted for upgrading so all these would be gone soon

When you see the shop front it brings you back many many years, will take a photo and post here soon.

Your pictures remind me of a certain FB group covering local food leh....

queenstown certainly set the stage for hdb, thanks to her royal hindness. perhaps, hdb can be renamed "her deadweight buttocks" upon her retirement or abdication.

I see. I had bailed out of FB a long time ago as I deem it very dangerous all the links here and there.

Not been to Wala Wala for more than 10 years the music is still as good tonight

Wala Wala still around? Before that was Jive Talking?

Prata at 6.30am


Meng's Clinic


Here's a video of the area. Vid a little dark cos it's still early.

At 1:05 to 1:35 you see two bushes of that ??? plant that I posted before somewhere, eating 1-2 leaves a day brings your blood pressure down instead of medication for hypertension. Apparently someone knows about this there and planted it.

This photo better can see the whole building, not many more of this left and another 5 years all these will be gone as the entire area will be enbloc

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Thanks for sharing....
If I didn't meet the old Doctor himself I would have thot his clinic close shop already.....
The last of the retro coffee shops further down across the road (block numbers 70ish) also closed down about a year back. I think there was a news report on that.

she used to helm atlantis in the late 80's during the days of peppermint park and hear that she's educating young kids and nurturing their musical talents. hope she attends some jam sessions for some of us to reminisce good ol'days, just like spencer goh (of tony / terry) as she plays a mean saxophone with smooth vocals.

 

[Semaj2357]

kanina, tanya chua is her nurtured student talent since he latter's poly days.

such as waste to go for lickety-splits, same as eleanor wong who's doing well but could've scaled greater heights if she wasn't a butch
