Serangoon Gardens is a vibrant and illustrious estate. Home to a wealth of memories, it is inspirited by the characteristic vim and vigour of the residents living in and around the estate. Their voices speak through the pages of this book: be it the vitality of the people who lived in the kampongs, such as the Quek family of Kampong Cheng San – now third-generation owners of a satay bee hoon stall at Chomp Chomp, or erstwhile residents such as Charles William David Macey, whose foreword introduces his father’s founding role in the development of Serangoon Garden Estate.
 
Vim, Vigour & Vitality: Spirited Voices of Serangoon Garden Estate is a one-of-a-kind endeavour by a spirited community to capture the presences as well as absences, and the developments that make the home they call Serangoon Gardens.
