I didn't think Singapore ever had any 'delinquent girls' :-)<br />And I should add..no doubt you have been a dog lover ever since those times!<br />It is ironic that it as taken me four years to discover the Hill. I enjoyed the place very much as you can see from the photographs.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845741103019529092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471151983797932841.post-39866239871966204882010-07-02T13:43:47.297+12:002010-07-02T13:43:47.297+12:00Hi Roger,
Hope you're enjoying Singapore....
...Hi Roger,<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying Singapore....<br />Yes, Fort Canning has a special place in my heart as I lived there when I was born (it's recorded in my birth cert!). There were 4 colonial houses at the foot of the hill then.<br />It used to be my elder brother and my favourite playground - the slope of the hill was our 'natural' slide, much to the dismay of our nanny as she'd a hard time washing our pants thereafter! <br />Then we always had imaginery hide-and-seek and war games with the soldiers at the top of the hill - there was an army camp there. <br />And when you think that fun wasn't enough, you'd have the occasional comotion where we had to duck the flying pots and pans and other 'weapons' thrown down by the delinquent girls at the girls' home in the middle of the hill....<br />And we have more.... we had about 10 dogs large and small - they were good guard dogs to ward off teenagers who tried to 'steal' our buah-long-log (a fruit) when they were ripe. We also had rabbits, chickens and a cat...<br /><br />Yes, it was so much fun. <br /><br />Cheers<br />Eileen TanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509183350137945217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471151983797932841.post-89344073213683174852010-07-01T14:23:07.986+12:002010-07-01T14:23:07.986+12:00Thank you for your interest Warren.

I think I will keep this blog going rather than start a new one - at least that is the plan at the moment.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845741103019529092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471151983797932841.post-56474594567489149682010-07-01T13:52:43.109+12:002010-07-01T13:52:43.109+12:00Hi Roger

Will you keep this blog live after you return to New Zealand (especially as it is full of such useful info) or will you start a new NZ blog?<br /><br />Thanks for all the enjoyable reading you have provided over the years and good luck back in cold NZ.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />WarrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
