Good Morning...Yesteryear.

[aangsc]

Run down and dirty - then, that was the norm. I don't remember getting food poisoning or E.Coli. I was so skinny, I qualified for free milk at primary school and shit, was that dirty or was that dirty. There were flies drowining in the pails of milk!

Life for a child then was, well, blissful! Our parents probably worried that money wasn't enough. But somehow, we'd pull through. Going to Swee Kee for chicken rice was a big treat! Must dress up well to go eat at road side stall!

We caught and fought spiders, watari picture cards, marbles, fight kites (limpei preferred chasing the lost ones), made catapults (lastic) to shoot birds and mudskippers, and peeped at our friend's sisters when they took a pee. Anything but dull. Not with firecrackers legal.

Ah Kong was the one who listened to Rediffusion. It was all he needed.

Cheers!

Well said. My humble wooden zinc house do not have Rediffusion , no tap water nor electricity to the house and still using firewood. At a tender age of 7, already has responsibility to fetch water and cut firewood. When it rains, the music will come from the zinc roof ....a soothing piece for slumberland.

I actully think it's good that all her bfs didn't get to marry her. I mean look at that face and voice of hers. You have to be either extremely insane or threaten to be tortured and killed before you can even dare to stick your dick inside that thing. She's even more manly than her PM brother. That's not saying much of course since his wife is more of a man than him but well she's more of a man than ho ching too obviously.

I don't think even inheriting the richest of old fart which of course has a catch 22 in it and having power would be worth it. No way.

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..those days the mode of transport is by bicycle on,and we don't have to lock our bicycle knowing that all our neighbours can be trusted..now we have to triple lock our bicycle not knowing who to trust anymore.(my bicycle stolen 3x already)..where is the sense of neighbourliness now.

construction of the pigeon holes begin.:(
During the night we can hear the rotiman on his bicycle pa poo pa poo,the frogs
croaking,sound of cricket,rediffusion and i can see mouse crawling around the house..
in the morning,the ultimate alarm clock of rediffusion, birds chirping away some in the cage as pet,cockerel crowing,mosque roll call
macik n children shouting nasi lemak nasi lemak and the chee cheong fun man cring cring on his bicycle.

Now it is the birds and the bees tat are laughing at us holing up in our pigeon hole..in the night we hear sounds of songbirds singing in ktv,drunkard foreign workers in the wee hours and the rumbling of MRT in the morning.
