my photography: Bras Basah Road

I did a google on Bras Basah Road. The original name was Beras Basah, Malay for ‘wet rice’. More than a hundred years ago, it was a place used to dry the wet rice. In the 70's, Bras Basah was filled with schools such as Raffles Institution, St Joseph Institution and Convent of Holy Infant Jesus. And for that reason, many of us still remember Bras Basah as a place where you could buy school text books.

Today, Bras Basah is filled with iconic landmarks such as SAM (former St Joseph Institution), CHIJMES (former Convent), SOTA, SMU and the likes. Bras Basah is full of characters; a good place to take a walk with your camera.
