Growing up as a child in Singapore and Malaya in the 1960s was an
idyllic experience. Thousands of children of naval personnel will
have the same fond memories of the time spent there, as Derek has.
Who could forget the constant hot weather or the strange smells
that you only seemed to find in the Far East? Who could forget the
heavy monsoon rains, chit-chats or Tiger Balm Gardens? Other
memories will include the markets, hawkers, amahs and snake
charmers. Shopping was an experience in itself. Bartering was a way
of life and anyone who lived there at the time would remember CK
Tang's and Change Alley. Only going to school till 1.00 p.m.
because of the heat and spending the rest of the day on boat trips
or at the beach was wonderful, as were all the fantastic toys that
were available at the time. This book will remind people of those
far off sunny days of childhood, and will bring back many happy
memories to those who shared in the experience.
