What can you do with these coins? Nothing much you would say? You are wrong!
I was taken by surprise on my way to Bras Brasah mrt when I saw a small crowd of ppl gathering around SAM. Upon closer look, I spotted this sign.
What?!? Yup you saw it right :) This was an initiative rolled out by the Singapore Heritage Board and the project is called Heritage Along Footpaths. This project brought me back to my parents era and I definitely see myself being put into the settings of the current Channel 8 show, A Song to Remember. Being the very excited self, I had to try the ice balls which was much talked about by my dad.
It was fun while it lasted as I decided it was too messy hahah Der and I had syrup all over our clothes and shoes. I think it is easier to eat a bowl of ice kachang oops. But I admit it was fun!
Besides having the ice ball, I decided to mend my shoes since it is soooo cheap as compared to the price I usually pay. The uncle at SAM had too many shoes to handle. Thus he pointed me towards the other location, which was at Bugis, right in front of my house. Apparently this project was held at 2 locations. The coincidental thing.. The shoe that Der brought to mend, was previously done by the exact same uncle! haha The uncle could recognize his work.
Basically, after doing 2 out of 5 items on the list, we decided why not try out everything? Der jut couldn't resist getting his hair trimmed at just 50 cents.
The friendly barber
Do you like his new hair cut?
I called my dad down as well for a hair cut hah.
While waiting, we bought the 20 cents kachang puteh.
Finally, we decided to have our fortune told. There was the Indian fortune teller where the birdy will come out to pick a card.
And the Chinese fortune telling. We went for the Chinese one.
Our fortune teller. Her stall is near the guan ying miao.
We tried everything! It was so fun! I'm glad I stumbled upon this and I hope there will be more of such events in the near future. Thanks Singapore Heritage Board :)
