Cliftord Pier brings back good memories as well. Lots of bumboats, constant movement, sailors from diffrent parts of the world. Sailors would be selling their handicrafts, things they picked up from exotic loations, Russian armu binos, marine navigation instruments.
Occasionally you come across bumboat Marys who would serve sailors on board ships.
Lets in the late 70s, Red Lantern became a redlight area where prostitutes from SEA would be paraded with OKT watching. It was in the open and really quite bad.

Halsey2, Fishypie: Did my fair share of Great World too.
Couldn't afford 1st run in halls downtown, just wait 2 weeks at cinemas doing 2nd run for 50cts. Angmoh pian, Globe. Chinese at Atlantic (not Sky).
Fun when there was some trade fair thing. Dated a girl on bus all the way from Fidelio Rd (katong) to GW. Wet behind my ears then, shy to hold hands with proverbial elephant between us. Then tried to sneak up on her in ghost train, and ferris wheel:p
So Great World movie did jig my memories.

Grown up with Clifford Pier so to speak, from the days where the bumboats ply their trades, where the only way to get to the Southern Islands & Pulau Blakang Mati ( AKA Sentosa) was by them ferries. Used to wander there & watch the hustle & bustle of the place, sit on the stone bench & watch the sea... peek at the tides washing up and down the jetties steps & the barnacles that lined the water line & below..almost could hear Sponge Bob Square pants calling ( oops back in those time, King Neptune), opposite was Change Alley, Bangkok Suan Lam Market would come close..
Saw Clifford Pier morphed over the years, from the Ang Teng Bei Tow open air beer garden, to the place getting rowdy where the navy ships come into port...it was once a mini Thailand with all the food stalls, & who could forget on the other end was Neptune at OUE Building, where all company dinners was held there & all the tim sum lunches & Victor Khoo. Later Clifford Pier was mini Philippine, mini gay centre...
From there one go up the escalator to the overhead shopping strip, where there is a little cafe selling food, the numerous money changers & the knick kack shops, of things relating to maritime from Hurricane lamp to telescope & when the Russian ships are in port, the miniature ship in a bottle, nearly bought one ( prize too stiff) and sometimes the Russian Sailors will approach you with their hand made things of the sea...miniature lighthouse . ship in a bottle, a hand made ship, & those Russians wooden dolls where you open the doll gets smaller..
I remember in the 90's a shop there sold DVD's & VCD's of pornography ha ha ha and was doing a roaring trade with the office working crowd, till the police raided and close the shop...
I have not been to clifford pier ever since they closed it down ...and became a hotel...GREED have made the govenrment sell whatever to make money, especially that place is a heritage to the country and an Icon! what a shame!.
I could still hear the sea waves thrashing against the sea walls, the sounds & smell of Clifford Pier, the big open space of the interior, and once a year, Kusu time...filled with people carrying burning incense...
The newspaper vendor, one Indian & the other Chinese, just after the bus stop & at the entrance of Clifford Pier, the Chinese newspaper vendor young daughter from a young girl to a middle age lady with a young boy...that is Clifford Pier!
Sorry Anthonian...brain getting foggy!

In 1999, Monarch Beverage, which owned the rights to Kickapoo, sued National Aerated Water successfully for breach of contract and trade mark infringement. Monarch terminated its agreement with National Aerated Water after the latter began bottling and selling a drink called Kick for a third party. Despite the termination, the company continued to bottle and sell Kickapoo drinks, prompting Monarch to sue.

Hated Kaya but follow family to CMC. Good place to bio serani chiobus on Sunday morning. Then cross over and have prata. Now 5 star chicken rice.
still can one of those kopitiam tables at CMC along East Coast Road
I liked both Sinalco and Green Spot. Both had unusual taste. Had a uncle who told me that Green Spot was popular as it gave the sensation of being cold even when served at room temperature.
why u? how old were u then?
Alas, no fairy tale ending..happened to be your missus now ?..that wouLd be a great ending.
. Just out of my teens, started on life long search for fairer sex. Some stumbles along trodden path too:o
Sowing wild oats...
So far people admitted to many things from boots to sex but no admitted wearing bellbottoms with waistband touching the navel. Ah Beng began wearing them in green and the shirt was body hugging, floral patterns on the outside and no print on the inside with big collars.
Levis Bell Bottoms with forgotten how many inches flare, hip hugging brush denim pants with tie dyed tees ( some hand dyed), with the silver chain & a big Peace sign..no like the an bengs, but more than the flower children without the smoke & ganja!!
Bro, not sure if you are aware of this trend in western countries. Some of their marriages dissolve when they reach their 40s. Apparently both the males and the females because of the internet age, are seaching out their old childhhood sweethearts and getting hitched again.
Alas, no fairy tale ending
