redevelopment

this garishly coloured building has been standing at clementi central ever since there was a town centre. yes, that's right. when i moved into my flat in clementi, the town centre wasn't even ready, not to mention the bus interchange. yeah, it's that long ago. :)

the building used to house just 1 cinema and later re-furbished into 2 smaller ones when cineplexes became the norm. then macdonald's came along.

after that, the arcades and snooker halls joined in the fray with the party world ktv and the many food kiosks outside macdonald's on the ground floor.

it's not iconic in any architectural aspects. just like an old lady sitting there watching the years go by and quietly witnessing the hustle and bustle of the town centre. with the redevelopment of the interchange into a mixed commercial and residential project by hdb, it's not unexpected that this buidling has to keep up with the times too.

sigh... i'm missing the macdonald's already. :(
