You know you outdated about Singapore when... (with answers)

[Windsor]

- your wife irons the clothes with an iron that requires charcoal
- you still have that old black antique phone with a turn dial for dialing numbers
- your wife cooks using charcoal
- your house uses kerosene lamps
- you are still listening to your favourite station on Redifusion
- before the nightfall, you take out the pressure lamp and put in spirit to light up the filament
- you have a well behind your house

you wonder where are the plantations and farm crops at Yio chu Kang and Punggol, instead you are seeing many crowded pigeon holes around these flats.

Haw Par Villa is always there forever; but never seems to open because of the never-ending constructions inside.

You are shocked to receive a call with a foreign voice and the person asks "Errrr.......do you want to buy this and that, but by the way what is your name? I only have your serial number."

 

[Windsor]

you rush to buy Sunday Times to read your favourite comic strips, "Wizard of Id", "Blondie" and "Alley Oop."

 

[applei]

Yea in this age, there are many nuisance calls trying to sell this and that, or trying to get one into debt.
Silly companies, my usual response is I am not interested and please take my name off from your list, thank you.

Just keep repeating "no thank you" until the person gives up and hangs up.

The problem is many of them will ask "why no thank you?" :(
