Nokia Sux !

Non smartphones like these are favoured by the criminal types.
De riguer for ah longs and OKT types.
Apparently harder to pinpoint location and easy to change sim cards.

The front part looked so 'plasticky'. Still got ppl use this ? Actually the OS type or smart phones turn on rather slowly like my PC (too many stuff for loading). This kind consumes less energy and has faster charging time. But, where to get new batt for all these old models ?

Sinkiesland's Weird Situation

It's still around though nowhere as popular as before or as in neighboring countries.

You mean M'sia, Thailand, and Indo ? We seem to have a weird situation. Even our A&W rest disappeared too.

Re: Sinkiesland's Weird Situation

anyone misses these -

 

[TemasekIsSickening]

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

Running into streets trying to catch a "layang hanyut" or "gone kite" and armed with a bamboo pole.

Hiding from Polis Di-Raja Malaysia in the early 60's during "kai-giam" or curfew hours when they terrorised the Chinese kampongs.

Playing kuti-kuti and "ang-kong-chua"

Sucking on ice-balls with "attap-chee" in the middle.

Buying candy from the "teng teng" man.

Exhanging old exercise books for a packet of "kacang-puteh"

Reading Beano, Dandy, Classics and Gold Key comics.

Seeing log-laden lorries struggling towards saw-mills.

Sitting in kampong jambans not knowing that the night-soil carrier is about to pull the bucket below.

Playing tikam-tikam which offered packets of cigarettes to winner and coconut sweets to losers.

Finding 5-cents within coconut sweets.

Many more. No space. let others remember those good ol days.

Nostalgia starts here...

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

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

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

If only I could bring my 2 boys back to my childhood days in the late '60s and early '70s, then they will actually know what real fun and happiness is all about.

Was there a Char Kway Teow SHop behind MPH Stamford?? the char kway teow stall is at the coffee shop at the other end of MPH along Armenian street. What is behind MPH at Eu Court, was stalls selling Malay food.!

 

[halsey02]

ha haa, were you around when they still used this _

YES! from this charcoal fired iron to the Morphy Richards iron, where you drop the iron or even using it for something, you can bring to the neighbourhood electrical shop & change the parts, especially the bottom. From then came the Phillips irons, than the steam iron & whatever irons out there now.
