things you miss from the past?

I miss the Imperial Jap army. Thought the Japs [god bless them] were doing a pretty good job of pest control when they were wiping out the Chinks. Chinks are like roaches. Look how many there are now.

Human roaches come in different colours and sizes.

gone r the days when BK used to serve genuine size whopper
gone r the days when Mcdonald used to serve quater-pounder
gone r the days when Mcdonald used to serve genuine size big mac
gone r the days when A&W was still around, & the rootbeer float was a hot favorite
gone r the days when smokers weren't confined to the yellow-box
gone r the days when EPL was available & needless to subscribe to cable tv
gone r the days when GST never existed
gone r the days when single-income bread winner can sustain the entire household

What about when KFC used to be a sitdown restaurant with metal forks and spoons and porcelain plates?
I remember my friend turning down the forks and spoons and saying that 'God gave us hands to eat". I wonder whether he feels the same way now.

Did you use to frequent the turf club?
Do you now go to Kranji?

 

[jw5]

Waiting under a tree for fit buddies to return with checkpoint tags during ippts and relaxing at health centers after that.

I miss the time when after visiting the health centres, you guys would come into the old sammyboy forum on delphi and say things like "she will suck you dry."
Ok, may not be you personally and this was about 10 years ago.

Nostalgia starts here...

1) A&W...Ponderosa...Randy's

2) the cigarette prices and the ability to smoke in a pub/discos

3) the old geylang pricing...S$ 40

4) 7-Eleven Softee Float

5) bubble gum...maybe

6) Masters of the Sea / Asia Bagus

7) no ERP

8) Malaysia Cup days

9) .......continue

JWNY

Your list is actually not too long ago, perhaps between 10 to 20 years.
I thought that 7 eleven still has softee floats?

only one thing, simplicity

bro zhihau
Simplicity can still be how you lead your life, it's up to you to decide.

11) Catch spiders

12) Play four stones, catching etc

It's 5 stones, not 4. Remember that you have to form a mini pyramid on your inverted palm, throw them in the air and catch them?
Do you remember this game called "tua beh long"?

 

[jw5]

play marbles. small and big ones...

Do you remember the marbles being classified into "susus" and "goondus"?

 

[jw5]

How about zero point, one-leg, picture cards, tua bay long, hide & seek etc ?

Heheh, I also mentioned tua beh long in another post.
How about zero million, where you are not allowed to touch the rope? To train potential high jumpers.
