Neighbours - Sa Kor

-

Diagonally to our Bedok kampong house's right is the biggest house in the kampong, we think! Belonging to Sa Kor (she wears nyonya sarong kebaya) and you can see her walking down the stairs in the photos. See more details and stories in the photos

With a huge verandah, we believe this is Sa Kor coming down these concrete steps

1960 with visitors coming to our house but the car stopped outside Sa Kor's house

1961 view of our mother carrying the older of us at one corner of the house with Sa Kor's house just across, and that single storey attap house (it was later rented to a young couple who sold Cantonese style wanton mee and converted their open balcony into a dining area. Jiu Nian is on the left of this attap house but not seen

"I Play And Sing" at our Bedok kampong house

Here is some ‘claim to fame’ for us: In 1971, we (at aged 10 and 8 then) were thrilled to turn on our black and white TV at our Bedok kampong house to watch Mel & Joe Ferdinands compete in the RTS Talentime then. We most remembered them singing the song “I Play & Sing”. At that time, they lived further up from our place at Bedok Road at the Bedok Walk area and we took the same bus to our primary school then, St Stephen’s (at Siglap Hill). Unfortunately by the time the school bus arrived at their place, all seats were taken and they had to stand but Joe was really friendly to us and smiled mostly!

Hair, There and Everywhere.. at old Bedok kampong

“What?  You brought him back from the barber without him having his hair cut?”, this writer’s (the older brother) mother asked my father incredulously as he brought the by-now dried eyed little boy back from the ‘frightening’ experience at the barber’s to our Bedok kampong house. “He refused to have his hair cut, so I brought him back…” was my father’s honest reply. Babu (or Mr in Indian terms as explained by former neighbour Ronald Ho) was our preferred go-to barber for all the male-folk in the family, not the Chinese one situated a little farther along. Babu’s shop was located near (or next to) Ah Yam’s provision shop, along Bedok Road (Ah Yam's story was posted on October 16, 2024) and just where the bus stop is (now Cold Storage). He was mostly dressed in a white short sleeved shirt and had a genteel and calming way about him. He was great, but not the aura of his shop and equipment! As a little me recalled, I intensely disliked seeing the chair which had a fear aboding loo...

The Ritual of burning Kemenyan

-

Each Thursday evening around 6pm, our grandmother would have someone from the household burn some kemenyan incense on a holder and carry this burner to every room and corner in our Bedok kampong house. We knew this was a spiritual practice but just recently informed by our mother that this act appeases the spirit owners of the house.... can still recall the distinct smell and incense smoke as this post is written.... 1955 photo of our Bedok kampong house with our grandmother (58 years old here) posing.. Kemenyan incense burner/holder (photo not ours)
