Karen & Angela – To Singapore With Love from Portsmouth Part 2 | Chronicles of Old Singapore

Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Karen Brooks and Angela Bird talk about places they went to in Singapore and the region (Pontian, Johor) in the late 1960s. A sobering fact was that unlike them, their mum silently struggled to cope with living in a place far away from home with her husband often away from the family. For the sisters, the two and a half years in Singapore had a huge impact on their young lives. In the middle of the episode are a number of old videos. We aren’t sure of some of the places, so do drop a comment if you know!00:00 Exploring the City04:20 Durian Adventure08:04 Our Mum Struggled15:04 Video Segments17:12 Beach & Sea24:53 Hong Kong?28:33 National Theatre31:07 Tiger Balm Gardens/Haw Par Villa32:13 Chinatown & City33:53 Leaving Singapore40:04 Huge Impact on UsWelcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore.
