The Lido Cinema243 viewsThe Lido Cinema at the junction of Orchard and Scotts Road. The present Lido, at the top of the atrium of another shopping centre, is reached by a number of vertiginous escalators - all made by Schindler, as I noticed when I came out of the auditorium with a hushed audience after seeing Schindler's List!

the only girl I remember is Jennifer Ridge (3rd from left, back row), eldest daughter of John Ridge, the art teacher.

My daughter187 viewsMy daughter demonstrating the state-of-the-art child safety seat of the 60s in Singapore! Made of wicker, it simply hooked over the bench seat in the front of my Standard Vanguard without straps, anchors or anything else!
Maybe some of the others who look at this web site will remember something similar.

Another colour picture, of my classroom253 viewsAnother colour picture, of my classroom on the first storey of the main block with me in traditional 'uniform'. These upper classrooms were cooler than those downstairs and mine had a little window at the other end through which I could show 35mm films from a projector in the adjoining store room. I borrowed films from the British Council
