WIth the development of Singapore, they had to be relocated to a HDB flat. That's where/how the younger generation grew up nowadays.
We do have a mini kampong in front of our apartment where the kids play. Our immediate neighbour has 2 girls who are 1/2 year older than J and M respectively. Their cousin comes to their house after her class. Thus in the evening, we would let the kids have some fun by playing with bubbles. I would take out the bubble-making machines and gather them for about 1/2 hour of play before they head off to the showers.As M is now walking steadily, he got to join the group today and he was very excited and was running about. At least a part of the kampong spirit lives in in the laughters of these children.

Jen (kampung gal..hahaha)
Jen....do you rem the parrot "Hosen"? I still think of him from time to time.
yeah...tat 'Hossen' named after tat wonderful guy (actually). But it is a pity no one 'brought him' along after resettlement.
No, we brought Hosen along, though we didn't bring "Andrew the Pigeon" along. Hosen flew out the kitchen window 2 times. 1st time we managed to find him but not the 2nd time. We cried and cried after that.
erm...did we had 'Andrew the Pigeon'?? which 1? Don't seemed to recall on that. Ohh..who were the 'we' cried & cried when 'Hossen' flew away the 2nd time without finding his way back?
