Old places @ okto


I did manage to record it down, but lost the first 15mins or so because I couldn't hook up my DVD recorder on time!

If anyone is keen, I can burn a copy for you.

But I have to say, it's a REALLY good documentary and I definitely would've missed it if not for the fact that I saw this post on CS!!

I came to this thread too late. I missed the show leh :(

if my memory serves me correctly, that old elevator is located in a building along KADAYANALLUR Street. the documentary didnt name the building, but the street name did appear in the caption.

KADAYANALLUR St. is that short stretch behind Maxwell Rd Food Centre.

I am interested in a copy, how can I get it from you?:dunno:
 

i only interested in some places... here's what i took down:

c.m.c confectionary , katong
old bus top, lim chu kang
old post office, mandai road
old elevator, location ? (missed the location cos the name quite long... anyone got this?)
seletar air base
long fatt confectionary, balestier
old cinema, woodlands
dragon kiln, location ? (missed the location)

:)

Those in use - would the owner allow you to shoot? Of course can ask lah.

Those not in use - probably all locked up.

Ah haha! Thanks for listing! Save us the trouble! :thumbsup:

The Dragon Kiln is at junction of Jln Bahar and PIE, near the entrance of NTU (Jln Bahar). Google search "Dragon Kiln Singapore".

And Yangtze Cinema. Haha! After shooting, can pop in for a movie. I think "Womb Raider" was showing there once! :devil:
