We finally unpacked this gem a few days ago.
This is an actual Singapore street sign that I totally coerced my family to bid on in an online auction several years ago.
This is only one of TWO in the country. (I should know, I’ve lived on that street my whole life.)
And now, it is probably the ONLY sign safely shipped to the US by my dear parents, who must have raised many eyebrows at the United Airlines counter when they tried to check this baby in.
“No sir, not a flat golf club. No, not a plank. It’s a sign. Yes, a street sign that my crazy daughter in the US wanted us to buy and send over. Yes sir. I’m not joking, sir.”
Since moving into our new abode, Jay and I came up with several names for our “darling” 1901 bungalow.
After several misstepsâ€â€The Hamptons, anyone?â€â€we settled on HDB.
It’s kinda funny, in a funny sick kinda way.
At least I’m home when I come home, wherever that may be.
where is the other one? is it stuck on a pole at Telok Blangah Rise? hahaha!
telok blangah is the best!! i’m moving back there when i have the money to get out of choa chu kang
The other one I dunno, but I think someone else bid on it and got it! Remember they auctioned all of the old signs to put up those new green ones? Yes GL, Telok Blangah is the best!
my folks lived in Telok Blangah when I was born
I think it’s cool that you have the sign now.
