Unnamed (:

Choose two stories that reveal the thinking of an older generation of Singaporeans: What new insights have you gained from such a revelation.

In Tanjung Rhu, Ah Ma represents the older generation people who is a parent and grandmother herself . She keeps talking about the past whereas it irritates Mr T.W. Li, her son. She has different perspectives of Tanjung Rhu. She thinks it as memories. Whereas her son sees it otherwise eg . when she followed her son to his work place she looked out the window through the binoculars. She still recollects times when her husband is still alive and Mr Li is still a boy playing by the sea. We gain a new insight by knowing about the past and those living around her.

In Corridor, The death of an unnamed and anonymous man in the common corridor outside a flat causes unease in an old lady whose family is involved in an "argument" with a neighbour. She wished that she was there when the unnamed man died, so that man didn't have to die alone without anyone looking out at him. She remembers the community spirit that recalled about kampong life in the past, and that as a child, she had saved her village from a thief who threatened its inhabitants. The conclusion discloses a sense of loss as the past cannot be brought back and relived again.
