Daddy Tiong was lucky, on the exact day of Prince’s Birthday, he got invited by FM 91.3 station to join DJs Jeremy Ratnam and Maddy in hitting the road with them for a special after dark Hippo Tour of some of the most exciting and picturesque spots in the Bras Basah - Bugis Precinct!
The DJs were entertaining and knowledgeable; in fact, they are more than qualified to moonlight as tour guides in their free time. If not for their humorous stories, it would just be a topless double-decker bus ride.
The buss passed Oxley Road. And someone mentioned that our MM lives somewhere in this area.
It was also shared that at one point in the history of Singapore, the old Cathay building was the tallest building in Singapore, and it was only 5 storeys high at that time.
We had a short stopover at Chijmes. DJ Jeremy pointed out that there was a gate called the Gate of Hope in Chijmes where for over a century in the past, abandoned babies would be placed at the gate for the nuns to take in. And usually, those are female babies born in the Year of the Tiger.
That showed how superstitious people of the past used to be.
