Remembering Singapore the way it was

Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Its a little known sleepy neighbourhood called Silat Ave.Purmei is 1 bus stop away...

If you look at the photo again, back then, at Keppel Harbour, there were no quay cranes (specialised in carrying containers) whichh you see in the pic. The loading/unloading was carried out by mobile cranes.

Quay cranes are called 'Gantry Cranes' since you like cranes so much I tell you lah>LOL

Gantry Cranes are the big monster cranes for lifting 20ft and 40ft containers but anyway you are lucky to have an interesting view from your window.
