Odean got the beef kuay tiow, stall, you forgot Capital, carpark got the hawker center,

rojak, mee rubus, mee gerong, and others all song song.

 

The New World along Kitchiner Road (now City Square) got 2 theatres inside where after school, I will watch passed movies that I missed during 1st screening cos of price different. It cost only 50c to watch movies of 6 to 8 months later. So after school. go and peek at what showing this week and will save pocket money to watch buffing parent that got ECA (now it is call CCA).......... [:p][:p]

Wah! Viewmaster! So long time sial. Had one before,

Found it very limited then already, so few pictures on one round reel.

And only had so few reels then. But was nice, think they still have it on sale,

as vintage, the really old Viewmatsers were made of metal before changing to

using plastics. Metal was eit7her black or sliver finish.

This one is called Imperial Cinema.

 

But it was a "open air" one before they rebuilt it in the 70s.

 

That's right!...Imperial...I don't remember it as 'open air' cinema....
