I lived in the Lengkok Bahru,Redhill and Tiong Bahru areas for the first 29 years of my life and found it hard when I moved to Bt Panjang and Woodlands areas too.


Wanted to move back to my hometown but my wife won't hear of it.She claims places like Queenstown and Redhill are quite old.She wants to live in new estates.

Actually she is quite right. I was at blk 59 Lengkok Bahru car park one day. I felt time didn't pass at this small neighbourhood! The GP clinic still kept its gate! These days I dunno where I could find those gates!

But that's just Lengkok Bahru area. The cluster opp Redhill Mrt are ok. Dawson estate near Queenstown Mrt is pretty new.

I grew up in Blk 55 in the late 80s and 90s.The GP was there for 40 plus years.The doctor was 80 plus when I went back to him 10 years ago.Went back early this year for a visit though.

Btw,I was talking about living in new blocks in that area and nor talking about living in old blocks in that area.

common la, Lengkok Bahru where got new blocks!? Almost all blocks are older than you. Unless you are talking about Redhill market there, a few blocks near Shell station but even those are about 15 years old.

Yeah,I guess you are right.All the new blocks are now at places like Telok Blangah and Kim Tian.

I will go to bukit merah sometimes…I quite like older estates. The feel is different.

I spent some me time at the ntuc…came across the chia seeds and quinoa…I so wanted to buy and try but ended up didn’t buy…immediate check on internet both are ‘superfood’…how do you all find it. good? chia seeds can just sprinkle on salad/others without need of toasting? and quinoa, will have bitter taste as some claims?

ST, just sprinkle straight out from the packaging..no need toast etc..the taste is good? your dd is ok with it? I hope my dds can accept it. I may just get a small pack to try first.

Same for me too...Although it can get a bit smelly sometimes,I do make it a point to bring both girls to revisit the places in Lengkok Bahru and Bukit Merah where their dad grew up.We even entered to revisit my primary school building which turned into a MOE Cluster Centre at Hoy Fatt Rd several times this year.Everything is still intact.

Just that the security guard told us that we could not enter the the offices in the buildings to disturb the staff working there.

As for today,the girls spent most the time packing my bags because I am flying to the US tomorrow.
