things you miss from the past?

Playmobil is no more? I would have thought they would weather the years like the ageless Lego, Matchbox and the likes of Barbie etc....my favourite figures were those that you can accessorize the most......cowboy with the hat, sherrif vest and gun belt.....

Queenstown

Queenstown Community Library, opened in 30 April 1970, was the first community library built in Singapore outside the National Library. Serving a maturing Queenstown estate, this library bring books and learning closer to the Queenstown residents. Today, Queenstown Community Library remains a popular hangout location among residents and ex-residents alike. Former residents and other Singaporeans are also staunch supporters of the library because of its lushed surroundings and quiet interiors. Together with Blk 38 Wet Market, Queenstown Community Library will remain as the centrepiece for remembrance and reminiscence as Queenstown undergoes a major facelift in the coming decade.

Re: Watched Foodage Just now

Any old timer remember the $25 crab meat fried rice at Bt Pasoh Rd? The 2 old sisters were the proprietors of this outlet. It was so famous that it was very popular despite being so expensive. I cannot recall when I had those crab fried rice and it could be 25 years ago. At $25 during those days, today it could be about $100 per plate. Yet we had to wait like an hour for our meal as the 2 old ladies were very slow and there was always a long queue. If you complain, they tell you direct to your face to go elsewhere if you cannot wait.

Then it may not be worth the effort as I am sure they won't cook it with fresh crab meat but with frozen ones unlike the old ladies. Thanks for the info bro.
