Location: Mountbatten Road. (Used to be the main road connecting the East Coast to the city. That was before the ECP came into being) It is a pity that we can only see the Ang sana trees that were planted at least 30 to 50 years ago. What a pity, they are no longer planted on most of today's roads. As HDB estate roads are both narrow and does not have a road side divider; such trees are no longer seen in new HDB estates like Sengkang, Punggol, Choa Chu Kang etc... This tree has low branches and as they radiate towards the road; the branches were often trimmed. Even so, the tree managed to retain a balanced "umbrella" shape. The ang sana trees we…

Traditional business wooden signage Nowadays many modern Chinese firms no longer use such signages: 1. Usually the horizontal or length-wise is based on odd measurements. This represents Yang. 1.1 The vertical side is even measurement: representing Yin. 1.2 For example: if the length of the sign is 127cm; the vertical side is 58cm etc. 2. A most distinct feature are the two support "animals" usually the Qi Ling or a pair of lions. 3. Less common are the two lotus leaf features of the second signage that of DJ Bakery. This signage is a modernist interpretation of the past... As it is embedded …

HDB estates built before the year 2000 had no precinct pavilions. Thus a funeral may be held just below the deceased block. As shown in this example: Petir Road estate. Today, depending on the size of each HDB estate or precinct; there are between 1 to 2 such Pavilions per estate depending on it's size. Thus an estate with 500 to 700 units often has 1 precinct pavilion. But another larger estate of 800 to 1,500 units may have two Pavilions.

Capital Tower at Robinson Road was originally planned and built by POSBank in the early 2000’s to be it’s new HQ. The bank was suppose to move into this new “Rocketship design” around 2003 from it’s existing HQ at Bras Basah Road. But when DBS took over the bank.. this was history. Today, CapitaLand and anchor tenants GIC, JP Morgan occupies the floors.
