This is a closer view of the details I added to the second wall. These are added with a meaning in that they are long gone or about to go and the only memories the residents have in future are these on the wall...We used to hang out clothes out to dray on these long poles outside the apartment and bring them in when the rain came. We still hang them out to dry like this in some places. The bus belonged to old bus companuies like Green Bus, Hock Lee and Tay Koh Yat...The block number is meant to be an auspicious number as it's close to Chinese New Year (end Jan). There are petitions from the people to the government to preserve them so we shall see. My heart aches each time I see and hear something like this cos it means a part of our history will be gone...

Hello Doug! Didn't know you had the same sentiments when you see these..albeit in a different cultural setting. Thanks.
