This was an everyday sight for a little girl, who grew up during the Japanese Occupation and in the post-war years in Chinatown. Yet amid the horror, Singaporeans found their own ways to make life bearable in those difficult times.
Each piece of work is a vivid snapshot of the past: the flamboyant fashion of clogs, the swarms of shoeshine boys and porno-magazine vendors hassling diners at People's Park Market, screaming match between neighbors over the use of taps, and the nightmare of giving birth in the 1950's style maternity wards.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
