Small town voices

This was my contribution to SMALL TOWN VOICES, a series in our architects' newsletter where people submit a childhood photo and reminisce about the time when that photo was taken.


I think I was 4 when this photo was taken (I am guessing that it was for my birthday). I was taken to a photo studio (I am guessing Empress or Great Wall) by my grandfather whom I lived with until I was in Primary 2. Kuching was a small town then and the house at Jalan Tabuan seemed like the centre of our little universe from where we walked to school (St. Thomas), to the shops (Shuan Hiang) and to the cinema (Rex) and for 'chicken in a biskit' (Ting & Ting Supermarket).
