I imagine you bought your Singapore film from the Cathay Photo Store in Bras Basah Road. With the evil smell wafting across from the Rochor canal. It was the only decent photo shop I found in the early 60s.
Your story is interesting. On the Oxfordshire, I went to Singapore in 1959 via Gib Suez Aden and Colombo, though I was 13. Returned 3 years later by air. Singapore was mostly green at that time with building only half the length of Orchard Road. Later I operated in Singapore for the duration on No52 Sqn Andovers and when Oz or Hadj flying with Britannia Airways.
I have just returned from my latest visit to Singapore. Sadly, it has lost all its attraction. It seems to be geared solely to the banking sector. Stupid prices and over-developed.
