from Chronicles of Old Singapore · host Loh Kah Seng

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Old girl Irene Hoe takes us back to the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus at Victoria Street, where she studied from 1957 to 1966, and a few of the nuns she remembers vividly. She also recalls helping out at Stamford Café at Bras Basah Road, run by her enterprising mother. One of the patrons was the late former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. 00:00 Introduction 01:23 Enrolling in CHIJ in 1957 09:16 Stamford Café@82 Bras Basah Road 26:55 Her Book on CHIJ 31:41 Small Gate 38:17 The Nuns 41:10 School Discipline YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ChroniclesOldSG Spotify | https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/loh-ks Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/61551786759344/ Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/ChroniclesofOldSingapore
