Plaza Singapura. Dec 88.
Virtually an institution.
In the mid 80s, there was OG on the 1st floor, Yaohan (Yami Yoghurt made first appearance in its food hall) in the basement, a big Times Bookstore on 3rd or 4th floor, Export Shop on 2nd floor, and the DoReMe cafeteria on a higher floor (accessible by lift only)! Macs was located at the side entrance near where Rocky Master is now.
OG used to arrange their shoes by shoe size...On one occasion, my mum shopped at OG past closing time and the front door shutters had gone down, so we had to leave by the back door with the salesgirls! Everyday is an adventure with mummy...
The Yamaha music school made Plaza Sing a popular place for a family outing; Plaza Sing wouldn't attract *Centrepoint kids* LOL
And I used to flop at the base of those swinging women sculptures (by local sculptor Ng Eng Teng, later sent to NUS) on the 2nd floor while waiting for my mum to finish shopping...2nd floor was quite nice as it had a high ceiling and the light seemed to stream in...
It was built before 1977; I know cos I have a 1977 receipt for the sewing machine my mum bought from Yaohan, Plaza Sing...
Some post-85 kids now call Plaza Sing PS. As in "I hang at PS" in post-85 speak.
