SG 50 - The Little Red Brick Show @ Central Library

One day before the start of the Golden Jubilee long weekend. I knew my 7 yr old Lego-Fanatic would love this and I was there with him for close to 2 hours ! Every single detail in the creations were all built with LEGO bricks, it's totally awesome !

Scroll down and see if any of these brings back any of your memories from the past ! Xav excitedly told me that he spotted the Samsui Women. I have told him before that Samsui Women were the ones who constructed buildings and houses during Singapore's early development. I was not even born then !

Samsui Women also referred as 红头巾 in Chinese.

There was not much recreation in the early days, watching opera was one of the common hangouts for the community.

Some of the conserved buildings in Singapore. One of the very beautiful creations I loved, the colourful Peranakan Houses. The intricate details were beautifully pieced together.

For those of you who grew up in Tiong Bahru vicinity, you might find this familiar.

The old National Library along Stamford Road, was a main part of my childhood days. I spent pretty lots of time there doing my school projects.
