Every year I and a group of friends will watch the Singapore Grand Prix. When I got my license, I used to drive along the same circuit at high speed just for the fun of it. The old circuit is still there albeit with some changes.

Re: Watched Foodage Just now

Nice thread!

I remember eating some very good hawker fare in the old Boat Quay where we used to go for lunch..before it got renovated. The other side across the bridge also had stalls including one very nice hokkien mee one..

The Colombo Court too had a good aircon food stall, of course, the A&W at Funan before it was renovated away also..

Blue Tapes were the tools of coming of age ritual....all the titles like sexboat, deep throat etc....forever etched in memory.....
The most popular boy in class was always the chap whose dad got the largest blue tape collection and/or porn magazines......after school always to his house for revision.

May be it was an eyesore for all the nice well paid civvies that came to occupy what was empty ground in front of High street (between Funan and High Street) heard many ugly buildings in that street faced pressure to clean up as well...
