Singapore Memories is a brand new section on
Getforme - Singapore on the Web. We would love you to participate in it, for
it's all about leaving a part of yourself...your past here for posterity. |
|
In Singapore Memories, we seek to record
Singaporeans' personal experiences of the people, places and things around
them as they grow up or grow old amidst them. |
|
We have provided the following categories: |
|
- World War II |
|
- Post World War II |
|
- 1950s |
|
- 1960s |
|
- 1970s |
|
- 1980s |
|
- 1990s |
|
- 2000s |
|
You can contribute by registering online as a
member in the section itself, and then contributing your experiences in any of
the aforementioned categories. |
|
For instance, you could write about the Singapore
Swing parties of the 1980s. Remember the huge street parties in Orchard Road?
Were you, perhaps, one of the teenagers who were there amongst the others in
the crowd, jostling your way through or joining the train of impromptu dancers
snaking through the open mall? We want you to share with us and posterity that
experience as you recall it. |
|
Why are we doing this? We wish to leave an
electronic record of everyday Singapore history for future generations and we
thought we should start Singapore Memories today. |
|
The whole idea may or may not work. But, we have
got to try, for the benefit of generations of Singaporeans born today or in
the future. These chaps have got to know how their parents or grandparents
lived life here in Singapore in the different eras. |
|
It may take a year or even five years for people
to warm up to this idea of leaving a record of some of their personal
experiences for the public to read, but, we will persevere, for the end is
worth the wait and the effort. It's something money cannot buy. |
|
So if you wish to share a personal experience with
us and the public, visit Singapore Memories and start blogging away. |
