East coast swarming with gragos, all going to St Pats
but this grago was a biggie ,politically that is ...even Yaccob Ibrahim ,was told ,from Telok Kurau studied in tanjong katong technical...a lot of high street Indian businessmen were also staying in katong...there use to be a Sindhu house in mounbatten rd ..they were mainly in textiles and electronics...katong was actually quite multi racial compared to other parts of singapore
 
Those houses (single storey) just beside st pat sch at east coast rd. Love the sight of such houses...surrounded with coconut trees..moringa tree...etc. Any idea who own tat land? Just curious.
They were big bungalows with servants' quarters. Further up to Bedok were houses for mistresses and second or third wives at the beach. First sea-food restaurant to be converted near army camp. Used to live next to St Pat and went to swim/partied there and caught remis at the beach.
Those were the days!
 
i think it was Nathan not Devan, of course ,i am subject to correction
Oh yeah, it was President Nathan @ Ceylon Road. Our current President @ Bournemouth Road off Tanjong Katong Rd.

It was the 小红楼,a lady owner.
 
President Wee stay on other side of Siglap Road in Frankel Estate; not Opera Estate.
Yeah, Baimi, you got your bearings all wrong. LOL
Wee stayed near Frankel Avenue in house near Different Taste and a Peranakan restaurants. Very familiar with the residents there.
 
Yes Nathan lah! Opposite Quentin's Restaurant in Eurasian association. Rumour he now own several terrace houses there ..
Bastard prata man had a guardhouse built outside the Cb house. Whenever he’s home they’ll shine the fucking spotlights to lit up the whole street. I think his neighbours all spit saliva at the big hooha every evening

Ya...owner must be very rich. He could have just sell away to FE. I know FE is aiming for tat plot of land. Wide and good frontage. Love the atmostphere. Like kampong. Rather than usual tall pigeon hole building.
 
Whenever passes by East Coast area, do bring back fond memories. I love to watch those old Malay movies, especially P Ramlee movie. Certain movie they depict Sinkie old road and building. This villa, once owned by Shaw Bros. Now it houses a preschool. Tis villa, 440A Upp East Coast Rd was used for shooting Malay film during the 60s

there are bigger lots in the changi area. indon tycoon and his daughter own more than an acre lots side by side. get to visit my friend who’s a scion of a seafood restaurant chain’s owner. his mom lives there. he is married to angmoh lady in bay area and returns once or twice a year. any lot in sg with an acre or more means good location and great property.
