STREET
An insider’s guide to life in her ’hood.
NAME:
JACQUELINE CHANG
DUNPHY
FROM:
“Born in Shanghai, China;
but Boulder, Colorado, is my
hometown in my adopted country
of citizenship, the US.”
OCCUPATION:
“I used to make a
living in marketing; now I hope my
baby boy’s modelling career will
take off, so I can be his manager!”
What street do you live on?
Emerald Hill Road.
Exact words you tell a taxi driver
to get home?
“Emerald Hill Road near Orchard
Centrepoint”; sometimes I’ll add “off
Cairnhill Road”.
Closest MRT station?
Somerset.
How long have you lived here?
Two years.
Why here?
People may think we selected our house
for its location; it’s close to downtown
and Orchard Road. In fact, we fell in
love with the shophouse. After moving
in, we realised that the street is postcard-
perfect and peaceful – a tranquil oasis
compared with the busy excitement of
Orchard Road.
