I visited a tailor shop to make my first 'tailor made' school pants!. The craze back then for lower secondary boys were shorts or rather short pants with slanted side pockets and back pockets with flap cover with button hole. It is definitely not shorts as the length is usually a couple of inches above the knee. Match it with 'football' or long socks and lo and behold! you belong to the coolest group of young dudes in the school!. Just at the back of the tailor shop, there was a 'Commercial School' running typing and short hand classes! Yes , typing classes using the old manual typewriters. Around 1974 and 1976 when Queensway SC was in its full swing , I stop making tailor made school pants at the tailor shop but instead bought the 'Lee' Boot cut plain white jeans from Wahab Store at 2nd level of Queensway SC. Yes, jeans was allowed as school uniform. The Wooden Alexandra Village was demolished around 1979 to make way to the present day concrete village of the same name. Queensway SC bring so many happy memories for me and yes, I fully agreed that its days are numbered.Philatherapisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901691334074351037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-6313233620482489622014-11-18T11:03:16.797+08:002014-11-18T11:03:16.797+08:00I believed we got the jackets tailored for your we...I believed we got the jackets tailored for your wedding at Benz's.<br />I recommended to my son to visit the shopping centre for sporting products.<br /><br />ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-46048251476221675262014-11-16T19:53:16.568+08:002014-11-16T19:53:16.568+08:00I think due to space constraint, Queensway SC is o...I think due to space constraint, Queensway SC is one of the few which has very few eateries compared with modern or new shopping malls, and you can't find those branded F & B outlets there, unless they cross opposite to Anchorpoint SC. I also notice that there is another new shopping centre coming up at the same road junction, so there will be competitions.

I was born in 1973 at stirling road (my uncle's house), moved into my parent's house early 1974. I saw the huge transformation of this area, the rumah bomba circle, apb brewery, queenway shopping center, alexandra village, bukit merah safra, the ktm railway line serving the apb brewery, the building of aye expressway, etc. Queensway was The place to visit since young. Emporium was there, first floor and mid floor, where they have supermarket, clothings, toys, etc. Music shops were plenty, selling vinyl and cassettes, photos shops, sporting shops where all other owners were related to each other (because they will get what you want from other shops as well). Tailor shops, barbers, food, and the most sort after..... photostating shops. We used to bind our final year reports from them, Ultra supplies. Jumbo coffee shop, on the 3rd floor. So many memories that i had there, can even memories the shops whenever i drop by this place. Hope that thus place will be there forever, as this is the landmark for Queensway, other will be alexandra village and alexandra hospital (where me and my sister were born!) <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-49680236522127395092014-11-14T21:01:17.386+08:002014-11-14T21:01:17.386+08:00Such a coincidence.
