I didn't have pubic hair yet in the 1980s.

I enjoyed peeing outdoors as a child in the public and no one batting an eyelid, or tried to make you famous on the Internet because of it. Once I urinated into a drain cover in front of NTUC Fairprice, near a busy road junction. No one made a fuss. Life was simple back then.

Yeah, kampong time, we pangsai in the drain.
Where got toilet paper.?!!
Those days we used newspapers.

Yeah, life was very simple but very good.
