If you're a kiddo when this song was a hit, then you're still a young chap.

I missed the innocence of childhood when the lanjiao was still hairless. During the pre-Internet, pre-smartphone era too, everyone was living in the moment instead of focusing on their phones.

Many of the roadside flats have been demolished.

From 1:40 onwards until 2:20 it's the Leng Kee car showroom area, even that has changed quite a bit.

2:27 Queensway junction, low buildings no longer exist. Too bad he was pointing his camera at an angle, would have loved to see the pre-Ikea Queensway further south.

ROV is no more and forfar house
There was a community center near forfar where all gathered to watch tv
SILO was there too selling cheap rice
If you dunno SILO then you’re not old enough
