It was a tough job but I did enjoy the simple company of friends. Had free chilly orange drink everyday. They were also fermenting vats of soya beans to produce soy sauce.

But I guess it must be quite bad condition, and thus this lady always asked me to stop the car at the main road, and she had to climb a slope. We just met a couple of times.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-59571252193100695392012-01-10T02:07:53.234+08:002012-01-10T02:07:53.234+08:00Hi Chun See.

It was located between Lor Sesuai and the Ford factory. <br />Though I can't recall the other kampong on the left of Jurong Road, it must be at Margaret Ave which no longer exist. Would it have been behind the Cold Storage Magnolia factory?<br /><br />I saw some pictures of a rubber factory in Picas saying 'at Bukit Timah' but it didn't look like the Hock Soon Rubber Factory, so I didn't use those pictures as it may be wrong. Hopefully, someone reader will come forward with some pictures.James Tannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543278061861378044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-36838995412482966122012-01-09T22:06:14.143+08:002012-01-09T22:06:14.143+08:00Yes.

During my NS days, I knew a girl who lived there.<br /><br />Also, at Lor Sesuai there also was a small kampong. My Indian neighbour says he grew up there.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.com
