Chua Boon Hwa, Daughter and Granddaughter.

Here is one of our Amah, Boon Hwa, who looked after my brother and me – and the parents – during our stay in Singapore between 1957 and January 1960, during which time we lived at East Coast Drive, Roseburn Avenue and finally at Lloyd Leas.

Anthony would love to hear from anyone who recognises Boon Hwa and her family

Cameron Hotel464 viewsA 2006 photo of the Cameron Hotel, thanks to Peter Chan. It was popular with RAF personnel in transit to the UK after their engagement was over. Cameron Hotel is located at Guan Soon Avenue, off Upper Changi Road. Jeffery Abdullah adds, that this hotel is located very near to Simei Housing Estate. If you take the MRT, the station that you need to alight will be SIMEI MRT Stn and then its a walking distance cutting through the footpath next to the new condominiums and private houses.

The Three Must Get Beers – first prize was a case of champagne; which was duly stolen from the unlocked boot of the Rickards’ Jowett Javelin when they all stopped at Bedok Corner for a late snack on the way home… note modified flying boots!
