Policeman wearing shorts.... Must be very long ago
A kampong in ubi near mine in geyland..many kampong look something like tat at tat time with a drain in front..mine is make of zinc n wood..
Best thing about zinc roofs is when it rains.... Its very loud but soothing and you feel very safe and sheltered....
Especially when waking up on a saturday morning, its raining and you don't have to go to school... heaven

I remember during my recruit days,we were taken to a theatre to watch a movie
of the japs invading spore produce n directed by mindef and one day we were taken to
surrender chamber in sentosa to witness the past event..wiping tears from my eyes
i promise myself i will make sure this will not happen again and will fight to my last breathe.
26yrs later..ugh! everything is per normal leh..no sound,no war and no attack..
and i am pretty sure i may not know how to handle a M16 liao..
The japs has landed.
The japs brutalized us,including me..luckily my head was not cut off,many lost theirs..says LKY.
Many went up the lorries taken to changi to be target practise..
i should had been in one of these lorries...lucky me..says LKY.
The 2nd batch of SAF soldiers march past NDP north bridge..

but my ex boss told me that he was pinky platoon mate and says pinky cannot make it one
he is so weak,everytime fainted during parade..only put on a show when pa n ma comes a calling
everytime we kena sabo because of pinky..he says.

Malaysia airline system and singapore airline are like brothers once,MAS is known as abang while spore is call adik.
In 1972 due to a abang n adik dispute/disagreement they split and as we know now..
SIA is now call abang and is known as "A great way to fly."
MAS is now call adik and is known as "Mana ada system.".
When i was young i remember during the nightmy dad use to take us to
these two amusement park call happy world in geyland and new world in jln besar.
I remember watching the young and old men walking up to the stage
buying a coupon and walk up to the dance girls sitting on chairs that they like and ask her to dance..
we would shake our head and laugh out loud when they strut their ago ago or cha cha dance move for us to see.
it was the only cheap club entertainment at that time.
Now 2011, young people at these nightclubs dont have to strut any dance move at all..they just need to swallow a
happy pill and let their heads do the dancing to the disco music..
I shake my head in disbelief when i saw their head swinging like a pendulum.:*:

The turberlent times before independence.
You take this job like my original team team did,..."This is for life."
We're putting our lives at stake taking on the communist.
If you lose they will pull our fingernails out, brainwash us and we know they make no bones about it.
(Mentor Minister LKY on what he would distill for aspiring PAP politician in spore..Jan2011)
So far so good,..till now since independence none of our cabinet ministers nor junior ministers has their fingernails pull out but
instead they had their nails pedicure daily.
Old man obviously still living in another planet..all our ministers are the most fxxking luckiest in the world
with fat pay cheque and everyone listening to them talk cock sing song.
