Siew Cheong Clocks

My dad loves this shop.
No you’re not getting me, he LOVES this shop.
Ok you still don’t get it, you know how you love your mom? His love for this shop exceeds that. Ok not really, I’m sure he loves my grandmother morelah…
Now you get me, he loves this shop. He is an avid watch collector, which I think is one of those old people hobbies which ill start when I’m around 60 or so. We come to this store every once a year or so together but I don’t know how many time my dad has secretly come here to admire the watches himself.
This is the only shop I know which sells those tall, old grandfather clocks and the classic coocoo clock. To be perfectly honest with you, it excites me a little too (oh my God I’m getting old!) but seriously, it does. But I couldn’t imagine actually owning one though, not right now at least, it would clash with the modern interior concept of my apartment. My dads place on the other hand, lets just say the one we have now fits right in.
My dad doesn’t visit this store to buy as much so much as he visits to admire the clocks. This place is like Disney World for him. We would spend close to an hour every time we come here that the owner of the shop has already befriended him and is just as excited to show a new watch whenever there’s new arrivals.
I do like this place a lot because it makes my dad very happy. The look on his face as he enters is priceless. I could see myself collecting watches one day, but for now, I’ll stick to shoes.
