In this heartwarming episode, Payal sits down with Anthony Wong as he takes us on a nostalgic journey through his childhood at Jiak Kim Road, once known as Jiang Road or Tiong Bahru. Anthony vividly recalls growing up in a close-knit community, spending carefree days playing street games, flying kites, catching spiders, and inventing fun without gadgets. He paints a touching picture of life in a humble four-storey block where thirteen family members shared one bathroom, yet lived harmoniously under one roof. Through Anthony’s memories, we glimpse a simpler time filled with imagination, togetherness, and the unspoken warmth of community life that shaped his early years.
