Hi Lam
I have been
looking at some of your photos and blogs.
I am a New
Zealander who lived in Singapore in 1973 -75. My father was with the NZ Army,
and I went to high school in Singapore. I was at Changi, then at Woodlands ,
lived initially at Serangoon Gardens and then at Seletar.

I am part
of a group called the Military Brats of Singapore, made up from the kids who
went to the school at the Australian & New Zealand Defence Force schools
that operated from 1971 – 1989. We have a website and Facebook page and this
year we are having a School Reunion in Auckland. We have great memories and
some great photo’s as well.
For all of
us who were there, Singapore was the best years of our lives. We loved living
there, and many of us have been back many times. We ate at the makan stalls and
played rugby on the Padang, lived our days at the swimming pools, and snuck off
to Bugis St at night, when it was still worth visiting.

Keep up the
great work, and love the stories and photos.
Terimah
Kaseh.

From '73-74, my wife worked as a bus warden on the NZ Forces bus fetching students from all over to their school at Tengah. During school hours, she had to assist in the office as well as in the library.
That last photo shd be Collyer Quay.
The First Photo Showing Serangoon Gardens Way Is Near The Church Between Lichfield Rd & Raglan Grove Looking Towards Lorong Chuan/Serangoon Garden Circus.
The last one is Collyer Quay. You can see the four floodlight pylons of the soon-to-be completed National Stadium in the distance.
Hi James Taan , I may have a photo of your wife from back then , the school magazines had photos of our bus wardens.
There are many in our group from those years , some may even remember her.
