We grew up here... Singapore

Just wanted to share something that I came across, more cheerful like - on the Singapore that we grew up in - thru old pictures! First, I share one from my own collection... recognise this?



Check out this website.....

Old pictures have a way to connect people and make memories seem more real... yet.... in this age of digital manipulation, I wonder how much longer will people trust in 'photographic' evidence?

Think 'Bladerunner' - the famous scene where Harrison Ford breaks the news to the android that she is but an android....

Anyway, here is the link to the trailer...

Another interesting coincidence (?) - Blade Runner is set in Los Angeles of 2019, Terminator 4 is set in Los Angeles of 2018. John Conner too has a photograph he hangs on to. I wonder which is the more likely future for humanity?
