While driving near to WooMonChew Road I saw a lady crossing the road in front of a moving van on the left side of the road. From about 200m away I could see her umbrella raising over the top of the van. At this moment I sounded my horn and pressed the brake pedal. She cleared the van and continued walking across the road without a care. At this moment I thought - that’s it she’s hit - my car stopped - in a blink she disappeared and immediately appeared after the centre white road divider line on my right side of the road unscathed. I turned around and she turned around and this is what I saw. Her face was like those Balinese dancer - her’s eyebrows were pinkish- her eyes were round- she wore Nonya style - her sarong was green & her baju was white. I saw no feet. My contention is could she a spiritual person of another world This incident happened near to Jalan Sempadan which is opposite the newly opened Tiong Bahru Bakery Restaurant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-41634788045051911612022-02-15T15:08:38.645+08:002022-02-15T15:08:38.645+08:00My grand dad n mum originally frm 63 kg.Siglap..n ...My grand dad n mum originally frm 63 kg.Siglap..n I was born @ the exact location..near the kramat Lasam..Mylate uncle will offer prayer @ the tomb..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00032201919762360132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-21050968928630742352019-10-03T12:30:01.514+08:002019-10-03T12:30:01.514+08:00Yes I agreed with "Annoymous" commented ...Yes I agreed with "Annoymous" commented that there are some houses facing the Jalan Sempadan sea. My family No.16, Jalan Sempadan 2-storey bungalow (yellow-color) was facing directly (about few hundred meters) from the open sea. Our master bedroom is facing directly to the open sea. There was a wall built to keep the sea water from the sea. Our neighbour on right-side is also a one-storey bungalow owned by a medical doctor and on our left-side was Ching Kee Sun huge mansion (of Kee Sun Avenue) which was divided by a big drain in-between. Presently, now is known as Marine Parade (a re-claimed land) from the sea. Sad that the present Jalan Sempadan Kampong is all gone and delevoped with condos.Henry Koh S.Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-49112129240259323152017-12-30T17:39:32.312+08:002017-12-30T17:39:32.312+08:00Just to share that indeed there were houses facing...Just to share that indeed there were houses facing the beach. Do check old maps on where the beach started before reclamation. Off-hand, it is uncertain what is the functional use of the steps. It may be to lead to the beach, or simply to allow backdoor access to cross the drain to reach the main road in the past. Do walk around the older houses in the Siglap area, quite a number of them have steps to provide backdoor access across drains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-3930806283589841292017-12-16T15:36:50.626+08:002017-12-16T15:36:50.626+08:00My family bungalow (Yellow color) is at No.16 Jala...My family bungalow (Yellow color) is at No.16 Jalan Sempadan kampong situated just beside the mosque and facing the sea-side where I lived in the early 1950s. Beside there is a canal dividing Kee Sun Mansion house at Kee Sun Avenue. Those were the my good old days of Jalan Sempadan kampong living. My former school St. Patrick's School is not far at East Coast Road (beside Cathay Keris Film) studio. <br /><br />Hope to see more photos of Jalan Sempadan Kampong scene.
