It started in 2002 with a licence given to Singapore Ducktours Limited. They had to go through National Parks Board licence.
Open-top buses are a mainstay in Singapore nowadays. They then tried to use Optare Visionaire in 2014.

WTC was torn down in 1999 - 2001 until 9/11 intervened. 9/11 intervenation signals the renovation to become HarbourFront Centre. VivoCity starts from scratch.

1. Most of the SBS and Trans-Island buses were non-air-condition until early 90s after MRT started their operation I think.
2. Even the taxis had non-air-condition type and those air-condition type. Lower fare for non-air-condition and higher fare for air-condition.
The NWFB began operations in 1998.

City Square Mall and Great World City brings back New World and Great World days. They were built in 1997 and 2009, and at the barren of empty land.

Best part is MRT without HHPSD and without the C151 refurbishment. Or there is no C751A, C751B; just stay with C151 and C651 with East West and North South line.

Internet is just bloody IE6 and full stop. Those days were so many Windows until does not know when to stop - Windows 1.0 to Windows XP, never grow to Windows 8.
Those days with Windows 95 and 98 from 2004 to 2006 still strolling around the laptop at various places: Mighty Minds and LEGO Loco has been built.

Those days Singaporeans were just beginning to learn more about the computer programming like the DOS programme.....Desktop Publishing was florishing in the market... -
In the 80s, those male Singaporeans who had completed their NS were paid higher by their employers than those still awaiting to be called up for NS. Young Singaporeans were eager to serve NS earlier and get over it rather than deferring their NS call up.

I missed the Phoenix Hotel coffee house of the 80s at the specialist centre in Orchard road. I loved eating the hor fun there. They used to have buffets too most of the time. My girlfriend and I used to patronized that place. We ate, drink coffee and talked for many hours in that coffee house. The ambience there was really nice for couples to dine and chat for many hours.
