I do have some old black and white photos of Queen Elizabeth's visit to Singapore taken by my Dad after her Coronation.
Totally agree. Rich spoilt kids have existed since the beginning of time. But only recently have the poor spoilt kids emerged.
Some of the gadgets they have, the clothes they wear, even the meals they have, I don't even have these now regularly, let alone when I was a kid.
These days if u give a few kids a long word and ask them to make as many words as they can, they will think u are joking.
And they probably will not be able to make more than five, since the assessment books and tutors and xbox/playstation games don't teach them how.
More like the "Boggles" game. The old games like Chapteh, Police and Thief, Hantam Bola and Kicking Stones sadly now I don't see them being played. Nowadays, I don't see girls playing in the playground, just boys playing soccer.
The girls all play 5 stone at home.
I think Atlantis was at Parkway Parade.
Don't remember Stuggart Motors in that vicinity.
Another nightspot will open in Tanglin Shopping Centre pretty soon. Taking over a restaurant.
Soursoup drink at that hawker centre was great. Can't recall where they shifted to but remember drinking from same stall elsewhere.
Opposite old Police Academy. I think there is one stall at Lavender Food Court.
Teh tarik by Malay chap named Daud? Malay kueh kueh bestest.
Used to bomb the ants nets with the firecrackers, and watch the ants stagger out..ha ha ha
I have a special hatred for the large fire ants (kerenga) when I was bitten badly climbing a wild guava tree. I was setting up a bird trap up high to catch the red-eared bulbul. So it gave me a lot of pleasure blasting them when I had a chance.
Bro you have good memory. It is hard to recall the past and Daud could be the one somewhere in the centre of the car park. I do recall the 4-legged stools we used to sit and I remembered there was a big fight and saw someone took that stool and whack it over the head of his opponent. I heard a sickening thwack sound and left with my friends immediately before the police came.

Any brother ever tried making catapults? We used to search for the tembusu tree and tie the Y-shaped branch forks that we had chosen that will make good catapults. After a few months we will cut the the branched and worked on them, cutting off the bark and polishing the raw catapult. Then we put it over the fire until the shape is just nice and firmly in place. We will use the bicycle tubes cut to lengths tied to a a small piece of leather which holds the bullets(small granite stones or marbles).
With that we shoot at birds and bats which we cooked and ate. It was fun doing that for a time until the novelty wears off. Off course we also practiced shooting at empty cans or bottles.
