The Sound of Memories by Cheong Suk-WaiDescription
This book features the happy, funny, poignant and bittersweet − but always heartwarming and unforgettable − stories, memories and anecdotes of Singaporeans from all walks of life. Distilled from almost 5,000 interviews that the National Archives of Singapore's Oral History Centre has collected since 1979, these recordings describe the experiences of everyman, from tycoons and tailors to chief executive officers and chefs. Their recollections are captured in chapters on subjects as varied as schooldays, pastimes, the Japanese Occupation, food, medicine, economy, women, sports, and more.Publication Details
