After 15 years, bye bye Jurong East Entertainment Centre

Was so surprise when I drove pass it last night. For the 1st time the whole building is lights out.

Jurong Entertainment Centre will be undergoing redevelopment and is expected to be completed by Q4 2009, this according to wikipedia. It's open since 1993, that time I still at Shuqun!!!!

Remembered those days:

where Wilson and I will go to the McDonald's to eat the then super cheap nuggets,

watched one of my 1st movie by myself there (still remember it's "Blown Away"),

my ice skating there with the very loud songs played from the jukebox (the grasshoppers, emil chou, jacky cheung, Micheal Learns to Rock [25 min still rock!!!] and many many more!!!)

and who can forget opp the ring used to be the bowling centre with the $1 KTV box (Ha Ha, that's where I start to sing!!!).

More recently, World Cup 2006 Mexico Vs Argentina with Daniel (ya, early early in the morning. 2 still not married yet, staying at Jurong. Ha Ha!!!)

Never knew how much memory I had from that little place. Now only left with the memories with me. And of course my friends I have known through out these 15 years!!

But at least I had a last visit 2 Thursday ago, 30 Nov. Went to the library to do a bit of my reading for the money series study 2. Was surprise to see Shaw cinema closed down, now I know why.

Looking forward to it reopening next year, but will surely miss that good old place. Had I known it's gonna close for redevelopment I would had took more pic of JE.
