I resented it back then but now I look at the pictures and think "Wow, me at Van Kleef Aquarium. Me at Fullerton Hotel when it was still a post office. Just wow." and I strive to do the same for my kids too. <br /><br />I'm saddened too at seeing all these beautiful places that hold so many memories for us get bulldozed away, but with progress comes change, and I suppose we can't fight it. We're not a big country, so I guess we can't afford to hold on to places simply for nostalgia's sake. I don't like it, but I have learnt to accept it.<br /><br />But our memories will forever remain, and while it's really special to bring our kids to the places that meant so much to us, it's also very meaningful to be able to tell them about those places, and the memories that they represent :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140142215352358254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410163.post-50950429651228157232013-11-07T16:41:52.963+08:002013-11-07T16:41:52.963+08:00I was deeply saddened and disappointed when they a...I was deeply saddened and disappointed when they announced the closure of the Macdonalds @ East Coast Road. Its like a chapter in my life forced to close indefinitely (and for many other people). <br /><br />The next one will be the Macdonalds @ King Albert Park. I know its just a fast-food joint but seeing my friends bringing their little ones for breakfast, and telling their kids that this place was where mummy and daddy first met speaks for itself. As cliche as it sounds, it will always remain a memory for us which nobody can erase. Or demolish.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909952181870352174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410163.post-61330892276957387642013-11-07T16:24:45.799+08:002013-11-07T16:24:45.799+08:00Like too many of our fellow countrymen, I too, hav...Like too many of our fellow countrymen, I too, have suffered loss after loss of places where I made many deep and fond memories. There is no way to express the feeling of having a hollow in one's heart after what one cherishes and hopes to share with others, is simply annihilated.<br /><br />And so we continue to build our progress, as we accelerate our sacrifices.
