it's has been many years since i step onto place along the famous Singapore River. the view is awesome and i'm abit surprise to see so much big changes along this river. Gone are the old warehouse along the river side which once store all the goods and merchandise from around south sea asia, or maybe somewhere further out.
water here are very much cleaner as compare to those days, and on the second and thrid pic, you can see those colorful houses, those are once those warehouses, and along the warehouses, park alot of bum boats which carry those goods.
Singapore river have a rich heritage and is our life and blood for the growth of Singapore economy after so many years. and to be frank, this river bring back alot of my memory as i use to walk from my home last time from Bukit Merah to here, it is quite a walk as my grandma is a very thrifty old lady.
my uncle used to have a dessert stall in this hawker centre many years ago, and my grandma always bring me to visit him whenever she is free. my grandma would buy mee rebus for me and i still remembered it is still the best mee rebus i have ate, and normally, i would play along the river or watch those uncle who are fishing on the river bank.
in today Singapore, there stand 3 big retail industry players, just along this river, on the second pic, you will see Liang court, which belong to Asiamall, those colorful refurbish warehouse with huge unbrella in the middle, belongs to Capitaland, and the place where i stood and take the pic, was Central mall, belongs to Far East organisation. It goes to show that along this river, still command some kinda attraction, perhap for the tourists?
