Goodbye Rochor Centre

My career started from Albert Street during the late '60s once bustling with trucks, lorries, mobile-crane line along the street from the junction of Queens Street to Bencoolen Street junction, that was before Albert Centre, Albert Complex and Fu Lu Shou, Sim Lim Square etc. Soon after the URA acquired the land for redevelopment slowly everyone soon moved out from the location.  We went to Telok Blangah Road and later on moved back to Rochor Centre in 1986 back then the building like any other HDB flats with no life until colours were added to the facade of the building.

Sadly thing had to come to an end, I was retrenched in 2003 after 33 years for service to the company that I had joined after I left school and also bring me to treasure all friends and family members more because that year my mum pass on after one month of my retrenchment that goes to the Rochor Centre too finally have to give way for the construction of the North-South Expressway.  So with a tinge of sadness, I have to bid goodbye to once-beloved Rochor Centre and I hope that something will rise from the ashes of Rochor Centre.

Pandermic Covid 19

These pandemics had a great impact on the world as a whole, due to these incident citizens in various countries are on lockdown and stay home directive been issued by the various world government as for Singapore we are issued with the Circuit Breaker Period to stay home, stay safe, and stay healthy but allow to pack our food and our daily essential.  As days pass we are left to think out of the box what to do within these periods which might last for months or maybe years, so I decided to digged out my portable harddrive and I start out with images that I had taken during my years of works as a hobbyist photographer and I decided to published those images into a collage or combine shots of places that had I been through my working life when times stood still in a form of images of the old charm of places which had finally been turning up differently in the 21st Century by pining it in Pinterest under Walking Down Memory Lane with Singapore.  These first combine shot of my working place in downtown Albert Street set the ball rolling.
