A walk and a bus ride - Selegie Road, Stamford Road and Holland Road

Wandering into a huge building that was the CIMB Bank of Malaysia along Selegie Road for the first time, I was impressed by the spaciousness and the decor.

Chinese New Year decorations.

A gigantic mirror above us.

Heliconia painting of  Heliconia flowers in the lobby of a service apartment.

The side of the service apartment.

Elias Building 1930. I always like to photograph this building.

Row of old shophouses adjacent to the Peranakan Museum. See how one young man waited for the traffic lights to change.

Part of the Singapore Management University (SMU) buildings.

I had to wait a while for these shots because I did not want cars in the foreground.

Three young men in interesting outfits.

The only outdoor escalator I know of in Singapore leading to Fort Canning Park right next to the National Museum.

The SMU study/eating area.

The National Museum of Singapore.

Bus ride near Dhoby Ghaut.

Building where the young hang out.

Trees and buildings along Orchard Boulevard.

Seen from the smudgy window pane of the bus.

Mt Emily Road in the Selegie area

Once in a few months I come round this area with a friend. We enjoy our coffee at a corner coffee shop next to this row of houses where you can also find the famous curry puff stall. There is also Hainanese Chicken rice if you plan to have lunch there as well.

An old ornate chair that should have been better taken care of because it belongs to an age where craftsmanship ruled. A Sikh temple down the road from the corner coffee shop. An old classmate of mine used to live in one of the apartments here and she invited a few of us for lunch once. Before that, she had lived in a huge wooden bungalow just further up the hill from this building and the whole class was invited to her birthday party. We have lost touch with each other after we left school and I believe that old house no longer stands though I have not ventured beyond this point in recent years to verify if that is true.
