There was a big Malay house on stilts on a big plot of land, on the right hand side of the road, if heading in

Japanese cemetery on the left. My dad and me would go there almost everynight, and he would he would talk kok with his friend who stays there.

Yes, Highland center? Used to be beside the Old St. Gabriel's Primary school. That provision shop is right at the corner correct?

Been such a long time since I went there already.

 

We stayed along Philip Avenue. There's a Japanese Cemetery nearby. There a provision shop located across the old Rosyth School, and it's still in operation when I last checked, a few months ago. Use to get 5cts discount on soft drinks there for every empty bottle returned.

 

Not too sure if Kok Wah is the one beside Highland Centre? If that is, did watch a few movies there then.

 

[Mazdaowner]

Yes, that is Voltron.

voltron or something like that
