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.

Better still a friend of mine who used to live in Telok Blangah told me his grandfather did it .No Joke. I don't believe in such things but accidents have known to occur while building bridges using quick cements and people buried in them.

I remembered there were two famous school boys that went missing in the 80s. If they were alive they should be in the early 40s.

And the disaster of cable cars, Hotel New World and Spyros.

My goodness.....I've heard variations of building bridges and burying children's head. But not merdeka bridge.

Remember those bronze statutes now at Singapore river, of children jumping into the river.

Those urban legends were trying to suggest that those kids were the one buried to build whatever bridge over it. Gives me the goosebumps everytime I walked near those statutes.

They should build bronze statues at MRT stations of people jumping onto the track to start a new urban legend.

I was called up during the cable cars accident but it was the air force who eventually did the rescue.

the cable car one was some giant oil rig thing smashed into the lines.. i think it was the eniwetok or something like that...

at that time lau lee's son was the chief of staff of the army

the spyros accident happened when i was in pri 3 or something like that.. didn't remember much of it but i remember lots of people were in shock..

the hotel new world one, i was in sec school.. walking around in plaza singapura and saw the news on the tvs they were trying to sell, wondering what happened coz there was no sound...

there were a few other incidences too.. like the hijacking of an SIA plane which resulted in the hijackers being turned into mincemeat by the SOF.. that one, one of the medics in my unit was put on standby at Changi side...

The word out there is old man Lee "encouraged" him to do it.

It's like the old Chinese Dynasty, where the Emperor gifts a flask of wine to his official who was of no longer any use to him.

Maybe he came back as a ghost and set fire to it, so that he could get rid of all the incriminating evidence.
