1.  A Blast from the Past

Do you remember when we celebrated Chinese New Year with loud firecrackers! We would welcome the lunar New Year by lighting up a long string tied to a bamboo pole from our balcony.

2. Tribute to SG’s Past & Present Playgrounds

Tributes to Singapore’s iconic buildings are the old national Theatre of the 60s, the Cathay Cinema of old, Red Lantern Revolving Restaurant, Big Splash, Upper Seletar Rock Tower, Old Kallang Airport Tower, City Hall/National Gallery, Town Hall/Victoria Concert Hall, Anderson Bridge since 1910, and  Jewel at Changi Airport. Evoking connections and memories of play are musical pieces, the way we stringed firecrackers of old and the old kites we used to play with.

3. Quintessential Shophouses along Koon Seng Road

Along Koon Seng Road, you’ll find some of Singapore’s prettiest heritage shophouses.

5. Taxis that used to ply our SG streets

Reproduced from relevant images of old: An Austin 1949 model arrived in Singapore in November 1949 as the colony’s first-ever London-type taxi. Designed with a capacity to carry 5 passengers, the new taxi, however, was out of reach for most drivers due to its high cost of $7,000.The first yellow top taxis were brought into Singapore in 1933 by the Wearne Brothers, founded in 1906. Note its winged tips! Toyota Corona Taxis – SBS Taxi- its colours mirror that of the SBS bus in the mid-eighties

6. New – white-bellied sea eagle
reputed to be Singapore’s largest common raptor or bird of prey, with a body length of 60 to 70 cm and a wing span of about 2 metres. It is usually seen soaring above reservoirs and forested areas, or near sea coasts hunting for food. Forming sedentary mating pairs (usually permanent), the eagles prefer to construct their nests on emergent trees over 30 m tall. The eagles live on a primary diet of fish, sea snakes and crustaceans such as crabs. In 2002, the eagle was one of the shortlisted candidates in an unofficial poll conducted to select the national bird of Singapore.

7. New – Rabbit 2023
A rabbit’s best feature? Their long ears! Growing up to 10 cm in length, rabbits can turn their ears by 180 degrees, keeping a careful listen out for predators. Rabbits are amazing athletes — they can jump as high as 90 cm in one leap!
