You mean Toa Payoh Town Park??Originally posted by littlestream:Huh? Toa Payoh meh? I thought people tell me it's in Whampoa.
I used to live near the flyover. The block was next to the then Siong Hoe factory. A biscuit factory. Hmm....yum yum.....I can still smell the aroma of the cookies. In fact, in my early teens, I went in there to look for part time job but was considered too young.
And then there is the Central and oh yes, a park!!! There was a restaurant in the middle of the park. At night ah???? Lovers' Park.
Woo.. sounds nice to live next to biscuit factory... i used to stay in a kampong that manufactured sesame oil... and uhh.. the smell is overrated when you need to smell it full power 8 hours a day -
At least, you can be sure that this cat isn't deaf!Originally posted by the Bear:Loki the deceiver
anyway, this pic is kinda spooky, although i've seen cats like this many times..
White cats with blue eyes are mostly deaf... that's what I read.

Hee hee........no, MG..........from Toa Payoh, I moved to Marine Parade. Then, I loved the beach, had picnics, go for walks, cycle, blah, blah......... Now?

Oh! That seafood restaurant, right? Dad used to drive us there for a seafood feast!Originally posted by littlestream:Huh? Toa Payoh meh? I thought people tell me it's in Whampoa.

I've fond memories of it! -
i have a new kitty!
both eyes still blue and only opened last week... wonder what colour it will turn into.
It's like buying those mystery prizes... ~ -
it's not that.. it's just that... i dunno.. read about it..
the press is now being surpressed.. heck! the GOP stole the whole thing starting with Fox.. and no one seems to care..
look at Bush and his shoot first, who cares, surpress all questions.. recently in Pakistan...
i worry.. that when Bush sprouts nonsense like "They hate freedom" and people believe that..
the world suffers..
when Bush negates everything that Clinton has done and blames Clinton, people eat it up and puts him back a 2nd time, it's worrying
no one has the perfect way.. but the US sure as heck was closest.. until the GOP learnt to manipulate, lie and gouge people...
but nevermind.. i'm sure the american people will be able to fix that... if they go find out and do something about it.. but seems like, ever since Tricky Dick, they could not be bothered..
that's why it's worryingOriginally posted by Meia Gisborn:Different strokes for differents folks. Nobody is claiming that the US is Nirvana or paradise on earth, but millions of immigrants seem to like this country enough to make it their adopted home.
Name me any country in the world that has a 'perfect' system of government. The current Republican administration might not endear themselves to the electorate for a variety of reasons, but the people of this country have the option of voicing their displeasure come election time.
Do the citizens of Singapore actually have a voice in the poliitical process there? -
Aiyah, ah lau, the rojak in Whampoa.Originally posted by laurence82:Wait a min, what park, what restaurant?
Where is it in Whampoa? In Whampoa Drive?
The park in Toa Payoh Central. Is it still there? -

The park in Toa Payoh Central. Is it still there?
Park in Toa Payoh Central under construction for forever. Last I went, water looks murky potential site for unidentified pond monster -
Waaah... we must be from the same era. I used to live just off of Upper Thomson Road. Remember Thomson Plaza? Well, I distinctly remember the rubber factory that was located there before they tore it down and built TP.Originally posted by littlestream:Hee hee........no, MG..........from Toa Payoh, I moved to Marine Parade.

Yes! Yes!.........that one!!!! Sometimes when I had to babysit, I'll take little bro there to play.Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh! That seafood restaurant, right? Dad used to drive us there for a seafood feast! I've fond memories of it!
TP Central is a cool place for me. Goldsmith shops, cheap products and not forgetting Hokkien songs on CDs. -
Is that what it's called? Yeah, that park.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:You mean Toa Payoh Town Park??

And yes,
We are the same era and me? Much more. -
Actually, a purring cat was how I thought of the name Rhonda!
I wanted to post something in here, had to create an account quickly, and couldn't come up with anything!
Then, my cat jumped up on my lap, curled up, and looked up at me, purrrrrrrring... and then, I thought, ''PUrrrRRRrrrrrr... RRrrrr... Rrrrr... Rhonda!!!'' -
Good evening sinned. How was your day?Originally posted by s|nNeD:hi everyone. =) -
the democrats aren't much better..
they're wimpy rather than go fight it out...
i mean, hey! it's the future of your own damned country as far as i can see.. if that's not worth fighting tooth and nail for, they fricken deserve to be ground into the dirt...
btw, what about you and the people around you?
did you believe that Al Gore "invented the internet"?
know the truth behind it?
it was because Gore isn't very articulate.. he was one of the few people who had power, who fought hard for funds to keep financing Arpanet.. the military network which grew into the internet we know now.. because he saw the potential for it..
he was one of the few who nurtured the internet when it was in its infancy!
few people know that even when it's documented.. they'd rather listen to the dumbed down rant the right-wing nutcases keep shouting..Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:That proves it: you're a closet Democrat!

Hmmm........where did everybody go?
