Sweets were 10 cents for 3.
Cigarettes can buy individual sticks from a small tin can.
Travelling hawkers who bring their entire stalls with them on wooden poles, going around my estate in Tanglin Halt - can get mee chian kway, mee rebus etc.
Playing along the railway track behind my flat in Tanglin Halt - catch spiders, catch dragonflies and tie string to them and fly them, etc.

I thought Coachman Inn gone for several years already. Last time I was there was in 2000.
My wife and I used to like going there and we usually ordered the chateaubriand - steak for 2 persons. Once I even went there in bermudas and although they had a dress code, they let me in and sat me in a corner. Service was old style and good.

i missed the time when i play tua bay long during my primary school, it was during 1982 at corporation pri chool. any one from there?
Thats the good thing about Coachman's Inn, it was a real steakhouse, the environment was good as well. Restaurants nowadays is just all style and no character.
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

Actually, liquid whiteners have been around for a LONG time - we (and probably you) used chalk because we were too lazy to whiten it properly at home. And the PRC fountain pen was probably a Hero - great the start with but the nibs wore out very quickly. The problem was I kept dropping my Parkers and splittng the gold nibs - got whacked hard hard for that.
