The changing faces of old streets in Singapore always strike a chord in many hearts. Second season of "Streets of Memory“ will come back in November after its debut in 2015, featuring three distinctive areas, namely Chinatown, Changi and Geylang. Learn about the colorful lives of sing-song girls and members of rich-man clubs in Chinatown during the early days; Changi's ups and downs since the colonial times and after the Royal Air-Force's retreat; and the dynamic changes Geylang had undergone since its kampong days. 《浮生街影》第一系列在2015年播出，介绍新加坡几条老街的演变，触动不少观众的心弦。 即将在11月推出的第二系列讲述牛车水的恭锡街和客纳街的今昔对照、樟宜和芽笼的独特发展, 反映不同地方的老街旧情。 六集故事触及牛车水琵琶仔的红尘来去、富豪俱乐部的奢华人生，樟宜从英殖民时期到英军撤退后的盛衰起伏，以及芽笼从甘榜村落蜕变后的形形色色。这一系列写实纪录片透过居民的讲述和历史档案，配合电脑美术，勾画出时代的变迁与不同阶层的生活面貌。

Changi, far from downtown, had gone through both the glorious and darkest era. Originally a swamp, the area was developed into a military base serving the British artillery battalion in the Far East in the 1930s. However, the base was unable to withstand the Japanese invasion, thus leading to its eventual demise....

During World War II, the Japanese army constructed two runways in Changi. When the British returned after the war, they had made improvements to the runways. One of which is still being used by the Changi international Airport. The British were stationed in Changi for over 40 years, leaving behind many historic bungalows and buildings. The Old Changi Hospital is one of them but it has been vacant for 20 years....

Geylang’s development started as early as mid 19th century. By 1930, the area had already been divided into odd and even-numbered streets. Happy World once stood prominently at Geylang Road in the 1960s and 1970s. The centre was well known for its variety of activities and sport competitions, and till this day many pioneer folks still hold sweet memories of the place. Happy School at Geylang Lorong 14, was a very special place...

In the past, Geylang Lorong 1 and 3 in the vicinity of Kallang River used to be a swamp, and was inhabited by the Chinese and Orang Laut. They prospered within kampong communities and lived in stilt houses. As decades went by, the entire landscape transformed as kampong houses made way for private terrace houses and HDB flats...靠近加冷河的芽笼一巷和三巷，早期是一片沼泽地、浮脚屋，既有华人村落，也有海人聚居的马来甘榜。几十年间，陋屋变成私人排屋、组屋，地方全然改观。。。
