This swing is at least 36 years old and is part of the history of the Lim's family heritage. It has seen some of it's patrons growing up from infancy to becoming proud parents. The swing has also undergone many rounds of repainting to make sure the wear and tear would not cause problem to its load bearing capacity.
For most of the year, the grand old patriarch sat on this swing, probably pondering and reflecting over the many days, weeks, months and years that have gone by........ CNY is one occasion when the swing team members meet up again.
We look back with nostalgia how the team members have grown since the 80's.
What some of the original swing team looks like in 2014.

Thanks for tracking down all the photos of the swing team's evolution through the years. Lots of fun times in the swing... any time we wanted it could also become a bus, airplane, carriage, and so many other things in our imagination
