I live in The Hillier and I am very interested in learning about what was here before the new developments. Preserving the memories of people who have lived in the area is very important and your doing a great service.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />TimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970818952578846032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-77188138656535162972016-12-22T05:38:22.209+08:002016-12-22T05:38:22.209+08:00Hi James, I remembered you somehow but vaguely, be...Hi James, I remembered you somehow but vaguely, being a nearby neighbour but much more closer as a neighbour to your next door neighbours residing above your home, the Moss family. <br /><br />Although I wasn't born in PEE, our parents relocate to block 24 soon after I came out of my coma from a household incident that took place elsewhere in Nathan Road where I was born there as registered. <br /><br />I do remember the Chartered Bank, Eveready Industries but not the Gutta plant. The Caltex plant I sure did, Fuyong Estate as well as my classmate lives in one of the few houses built there. You probably knew him too or his sibling bros that goes by the name of Choo chuan cheng and Choo feng chye. <br /><br />The Dairy Farm still lingers on my memory as another classmate lives there by the name of Thaddeus Loo, you know him too. <br /><br />Back on the Estate and surroundings, I still recall vividly your building block, facing or rather, overlooking the Bus Terminal and bay compound, the PEE School just meters away to the right side of your block. <br /><br /><br />The football field where the annual Sports Day were held. The row of grocery shops across the Bus bay as carpark, and the morning Market stall-holders are located in front of the grocery shops which include the coffeeshop known also for selling the grated ice and its ice-kachang. <br /><br />The hilly plantations where many durian and mangosteen trees could be fould and the uphill slope leading to the top of Gombak Hill... which is the back garden rather, (of the two prominent 7th Storey blocks that overlooks the valley) to where we reside. <br /><br />So much more I still recall like the back of my hand... is now a figment of the past. All are gone, the landscape almost completely vanished but for the school building holding ground where I last saw in 2010 when I drove to the building led by memory. The rest of the surroundings became unrecognisable with the other exception of the remaining houses built and known as Hillview Drive. The family Moss then relocate and took up residence in a large bungalow up on Hume Heights for the obvious nature given the leading role of Mr Moss Sr running the company. <br /><br />Thank you for preserving this invaluable chapter of PEE's history... my only trail left reflecting the past with this district I once held dear too.<br />DFLechnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147768375694337620noreply@blogger.com
