We were there from 1967-70 so I was only 4 went we left the UK. Dad had gone on a few months ahead of us. We had a short while in a hotel and then moved to Jalan Chempaka Kuning. We then later moved to Wittering Road, Changi. Dad worked on Herc's with 48 Sqdn. I
started school at Changi Juniors. My sister who is 8 years older went to Changi Grammar School. Unfortunately my brother became very ill while we were there and didn't survive. Although then young I've got many memories from that period; the Amah's market in Changi Village, the night George Photo burned
down and learning to swim with tied and inflated pyjama bottoms among others. |
