I remembered tha Jap came and went back. I remembered the Brit returned home. I remembered the RR Americans always making troubles in Bugis Street. I remembered there was a decade of local at most some Malaysian workers and some foreign maids.
Then now this big gush of know whatever from PRC, India, Vietnam, Philippines that makes those years of foreigners coming I seen years ago like a kid peeing.

the wildest wild animals i have seen that are not captivated.........
are the squirrels i see outside my place...

all i see now outside my place are the condo ppl hanging their laundries at the balconies and the occasional foreign flags hung outside their units...
