I used to go to New Town Secondary School at Commonwealth & is familar with Queenstown area. Used to go to Tanglin Halt Hawker Centre, Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, the McDonald near my school, Queenstown bowling, Queenstown Library. I remembered the days after school, I like to buy $0.10 Mai Ya Tang Malt Candy (麦芽糖) from an old uncle opposite my school bus stop. He hand made it. It was delicious. Is so much better than the ones selling now in shops. Growing up there many fond memories. School Running Track where I used to run very fast. NPCC days marching. My classmates. Is a good memorial experience. Also, I used to go to a Church in Queenstown.
