havent heard this phrase in yonks bro. You old timer too i guess.
I am bro - an old timer.
The quote "Shiver me timbers" and Blimey was used by pirates.
And "A Thousand Apologies" by a famous British Comedy, "Mind Your Language"
I hail from the attap school era.
Where Literature and History were favourite subjects.
Those days of Chinese operas on Lady Precious Stream and of "ting-ting" men, ice-balls and tikam-tikam.
When 5 cents can bring you far on STC, Tay Koh Yat, Paya Lebar, Katong Bedok, Easy, Keppel, Green Bus and Ponggol Bus Companies.
Days when cows used to roam the streets and policemen used to round it up for slaughter and distribution in the police sations.
Days when BOAC (now known as British Airways) Constellation planes used to land at Kallang
When the international planes used to pass through Beirut.
Those happy days when everything was fine.
All those days are now nothing but a Memory.
