See PAP brought all of you so far from your poverty days. YOu must thank the PAP. Even though the Malaysians, Indonesians, Africans now can also afford Plasma TV, Mercedes and satellite broadband.

 

[halsey02]

When they were showing twilight zone and combat I was in secondary school growing pains if I remember I just started working not long no GF too poor to go clubbing just stay at home n watch TV or go down to coffeeshop and talk cock with other poor chaps.

So you would have watched Alfred Hitchcock....and know the "the banana song' of the banana splits that plays on Afternoon TV...ha ha ha

There wasn't much to 'suan' girls then...other than to magnolia snack bar & taking her to upper stalls in the cinema...and rubba rubba there, when lights are out......heh heh heh those were the 'wet days'...heh heh heh

 

[chinkandoo]

Being none of the above some of us neards always hang out at KSC Morgans spening our pocket money buying plastic models and fixing them with our spare time

Yes yes!! There's AirFix, and then later came Tamiya!! I remembered there' also chewing gum with tiny booklets of comic inserted in them!! Haha...those were the days!

LOL that time I good son listen to elders cannot rubba rubba until after married and that time all the girls u try rubba rubba with them will give u 1 tight slap across the face:p I still remember that time my pocket money was just $1/day after bus fare and recess left back 20cents to save. Sometimes play football and skip the recess meal and can save 70 cents. Still remember 1walls conneto cost 50cents die die don't want to spend keep thinking too expansive eat.

 

[Unrepented]

And fighting fish, buy compressed paper chinese swords with sheath from pasamalam during opera shows, lastic....

Play marbles. Scratch a circle on sand and shoot coins out of it. Goondu, licence, if you know these terms, you've been there.

Play football at basketball court barefooted. No need goalkeeper.

Fly kite. Fight kite. Lace your line with fine glass shards.

Catch spider, keep in matchbox. Include some leaves combat ration. Keep in pocket, standby for war, or just to scare the hell out of any silly girl that's worth scaring for whatever reason. Some neighbourhood gang youth wing big bros catch crickets at night to fight for serious money (notes only, no coins), though that I never tried before.

Catch grasshopper, keep in plastic bag. Poke some holes. Quite useless for war, but still can scare the hell out of any silly girl.

Catch longkang guppies, keep in plastic bag. Cannot poke holes, must fill with water. When teacher not watching, pour them into school fish tank.

Y-Plastic with thick rubber band to launch big pebble, shoot bird (usually small sparrow in those days). Quite meaningless, just for the thrill. Even when score a direct hit, don't know what to do with the half-dead or dead bird. Just feel the thrill and move on.

Plastic container? I don't remember having plastic containers during my time, except for lunch box. I only had wooden matchbox or small rectangular container made of tin or metal for my spiders.

Anyone remember those 5 cents tikam tikam from mama shop? I remember playing once, but can't remember what I've won. Very poor at that time, so didn't play too much of that.

That type of one whole board of sticker stamps, pay 5c tear one stamp? Usually the prizes (to the matching winning stamps) were also stapled on top of the board, packs of tidbits like cuttlefish, crackers, candies etc.
