Memory Lane....

As mentioned in my previous post, visiting the museums really bring back some of my childhood memory............

This was the tuk-tuk kueh mobile stall that they will cycle to different areas or streets to sell the kueh..... and nowadays I already hardly eat tuk tuk kueh......

You still able to see this ice kachang machine in the dessert stalls, however now mainly operate by electric. In those old days, planing the ice block is done manually. I still remember, there was a stall down the end of Tras Street where my grandmother used to stay. With 5 cents at that time, I am able to buy a ice ball with colored syrup (those put in the ice kachang) on it........ added another 5 cents to have the red beans in it. Sometime what my friend and I did is to chip out 5 cents each to get the ice ball with red bean and asked the owner to half it for us. We always ended up with sticky hand.

Incidentally, I passed by the areas where I grown up.........

The house where I was born had been demolished years back.... now it just a plot of field waiting for development.

Just on the other side of the road, it was the building where my grandmother used to stay. I also did stay there during my primary school days.

My primary school is just next street from my grandmother's house. In those days, it was rare to have lift in a school. My primary school is one of them which have a lift and the other school that I know was Pearl Hill Primary School.
