This used to be the view from the bedroom that I shared with my younger brother for a few years. Back then, there used to be a provision shop in the block that was being demolished on the left called Jumbo. With the SERS development in progress, they shifted from being a provision shop business to running a food house that was newly built in Dover Ville precinct just around the corner. These days, nearly 20 years on, I'm not sure if they are still running the said food house although I'm pretty sure that the place still exists.
Since the demolition of these blocks, a new build-to-order development has come up on the site instead. The new precinct, Dover Gardens, features much taller blocks that dwarf the point blocks which were considered tall back in their day. Being able to see the demolition process up close fascinated me, for some reason. Perhaps it was just simply observing something foreign that had not been seen before - such as the use of a electromagnet to sieve out pieces of metal that could be recycled.
