The centre of Singapore. A bit of old and new. The view from Gek's lawyer's office in Simlin Towers.


The Art museum was a convent, I understand. A colonial style building of the type you find in the Straits Settlements. Really very stylish.

This odd group sit in front of the museum/gallery. In the 20 over years since we lived in Singapore, art has surfaced with quite a mixture of styles and media

But the commercial heart of Singapore this still thriving. This is Buikit Tima Plaza which I first visited on my first day in Singapore in Feb 1983. We used to bring the girls here to Strawberry Shortcake, a shop where everything was red and pink and to do with strawberries. Even the smell of the place. Gone now, of course.
