And here are the lovely tiles of the walkway, which I'm sure would be hacked away during demolition.

By the walkway, there is an outdoor sink and a cupboard on the wall.

Not too sure about the Marmite!

Ok, now looking down the walkway again but this time towards the main building.

And yes, next post we will look at what's inside the main building itself on the ground floor.

From the front... this is how it looks like.

It comprises of a few small rooms filled up with what seems to be junk from the main building. In one of these rooms there is an old Chopper bicycle and there are some old school notes. Most of the doors are opened...

And some are closed...

I didn't dare open the door as I didn't want dust and spiders to emerge.

The very last room at the end was a bedroom... a very messy one.

Next post, we will look at the other things around the back of the house by the servants' quarters.

Going up the driveway, you've got to be careful of the durians overhead. From what I understood from a Filipino maid on the street, the durians drop onto the main road and can be found in the morning.

Here's the porch of the house. As you can see, additional supports have been added onto the structure to hold it in place. The porch also spots some decorative ionic pillars.

The main building itself has an interesting looking roof, which is flat at the top. Not sure what style it is. Perhaps colonial Dutch?

Ok... that's all for now. Next post we will look at what's in back of the house.

- The Mad Shop

Apparently what is now Gracefields Kindergarten was formerly the family home of Leslie Charteris, the creator of The Saint. It was then called Westbourne, the name which can still be seen on the gateposts of the building today.

During World War II, the building became the Kriegsmarine Headquarters.

Then in 1957, it was the temporary headquarters of St. John's Ambulance.

Eventually, the house was renamed Field House... probably after Dr. Elaine Field who set up the place to care for spastic children.

This rice dish came with a delicious chicken drumstick, some vegetables (sayur lodeh), some kind of crunchy crackers which are sorta sweet and spicy, sambal, cucumber, some other meat thing (I think) and a hard boiled egg. It was not too bad and was quite filling.

Meal came to SGD6.

Every night, the Moosh Cat comes by my room. Does a little meow, rubs against the chair I'm sitting on as I work on the computer then settles down on the rug. He'll usually flop over on his side and expose the cute cream-coloured tuft on his chest and stretch out the whole length of his body as much as he can. He'll do that for awhile just to get my attention in hopes of me scratching his belly and neck. Tonight, surprisingly... to the chorus of frogs croaking outside my window, he is sleeping on the rug and not moving at all. Not like other nights where after awhile he gets up from the rug and wanders off. Ah... the Moosh Cat.

This is one of my favourite films of all time and it brings back a lot of memories for me. I watched it when it came out more than 10 years ago in a Sony Theatre in NYC. It was also the first time I heard of director Danny Boyle and the group, Leftfield, who had a great opening track to the film. Since then I've been a great fan of both.

If you reckon you can understand Scottish accents... then you'll most likely be able to enjoy this film, which explores the themes of friendship, trust, greed and subtleties of male-female interactions. Not much gore at all but the suspense is enough to get you squirming in your seat. The edit style was also what caught my eye and made this film an all-time favourite - fresh and modern, slick and stylish... would be how I describe it.

The DVD of course is available at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de
