Uncle Roger come from once at the old great world background.

Bless him...only place on the net I have ever seen such a great collection photos of an important era of Singapore history. I rate it the very highest rate on this board. Much higher than any building could ever be...

haha my own portrait. Yashica TLR from my dad. I don't ask for more therefore I am rich. That is how I define rich, hehehe.
Top of M not that expensive food and drinks $30 plus, Tropicana and Neptune theatre is more then 2x the price. about $50-200 a seat with a drink and show. I have photo cover most orchard road all the way to cathay/RCA to south/north bridge road. but after moving house/married lost/miss place most of them. Well sometime woman think is rubbish / dirty / waste space and just gone by the wind.
