Good Morning Yesterday

 


"Everyone has a story to tell and you can learn for it only if you listen".

Well, I came up with that saying. There's much we can learn from books.

The writer of the book "Good Morning Yesterday" - Mr Lam Chun See, brings to life images and words that are fast disappearing.

Let me pose you a couple of questions where the answers can be found in the book:-

1. Where is Ang Sar Lee? 
2. Have you heard of the brand Brylcreem
3. What is 'chow ta' loti?

These are just some of the many nostalgic look-back to the 1950s and 1960s. Mr Lam's book has inspired me to continue my quest for everything Singapore. Looking out for decades-old eateries; Picking up old products such as Brylcreem; Finding out the many roundabouts there are in Singapore.

So read his book and get ready to be zap back into history! You can also check out his website.
