Family Sunday

A simple home prepared dinner for my father's birthday celebration.

My Jurong...

The view from our old block, it is a nice view where I could see Jurong East Central, MRT station, the library, IMM building and the old Jurong Entertainment Centre. Photo was taken about 7 years ago....

This is where my heart is...... right now.

A beautiful west side town on the Little Red Dot.

Jurong was developed into an industrial estate in Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s. The coastal region was also developed into sea ports. Housing estates were developed as a result of expansion of industrial sectors, partly to house the people working in this region.

It is now Singapore's 50th year of independence, so much has evolved, not only for Jurong but also the rest of the country. High rise housing blocks, condominiums, tall majestic city buildings. I remember when I first moved from Malaysia 25 years ago, the west side of the island was quiet and "sleepy". So much has changed over the years!

I have taken so many photos as I walked along the streets and around the neighbourhood. Now I just would like to share some old collection as well as recent photos of this little BIG town where I live. Hope my readers especially those around this neighbourhood will like them.

I will also add some references about Jurong that I have come across,  these sites are very good and are very interesting, some even tells us the history and development of Jurong and Singapore and some have nice, hard-to-find nostalgic photos.

I hope you will enjoy!
