Much has been written about KTM Tracks lately. A simple search on Google and Yahoo will bring you to numerous websites such as this and this. After all, this cantankerous relic was Singapore's brave new world in the early 20th century. I have always been a believer of my secondary school's motto, "Rooted in Tradition, Equipped for the Future."
一摊油条传三代 在玛格列熟食中心，“生活公市”说得上是个客至如云的摊子。这个小摊子，不售卖任何煮炒；摊子主人则一年三百六十五天，天天在摊内起个炉炸上一条条的油条。 “生活公市”摊主李马才先生（58岁）是这家油条摊的第三代。 祖父自中国南来便炸油条为业，后来其父亦继承了祖父的业务。“生活公市”自1969年起，正式迁入玛格列熟食中心营业。李先生从小便跟随父亲学手艺，在油锅边打转。 李先生的油条，以香脆爽口闻名。在80年代初，李先生每一日几乎可炸近200条油条。李家一家五人总要齐齐上阵来应付顾客的需要。 如今，虽然李先生的摊子已搬迁到亚历山大村熟食中心，但他对玛格列熟食中心仍然十分怀念。再见了，玛格列熟食中心！

Blk 15, Holland Drive looked vacant and cold when MyQueenstown team visited this morning.

7 funerals in 2 weeks. There is a flurry of "activity" these two weeks for correspondents from My Queenstown. We did not leave our traces in photographs as a mark of respect for the deceased. We did leave our sincere prayers and heartfelt condolences for those present. Quietly and fleetingly, we made our way to some of the funerals and understood that all o
On a Friday afternoon three weeks ago, several Bangladeshi workers, presumably from the Town Council, took their tool boxes to the lift lobby of Block 39A.
