Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Old girl Irene Hoe takes us back to the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus at Victoria Street, where she studied from 1957 to 1966, and a few of the nuns she remembers vividly. She also recalls helping out at Stamford Café at Bras Basah Road, run by her enterprising mother. One of the patrons was the late former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
