Were you a Centrepoint Kid before ?

[laksaboy]

I was too old to be the CenterPoint kids. During my time, there were the McDonald's kids.

I was too young. Often went to the old Plaza Singapura. DBS, Ponderosa, McDonalds, Yaohan, mermaid statues.

I wonder if these Centrepoint "Kids" will reunite at Centrepoint again just for old time's sake in their flamboyant attire ?

the baggy pants become tight pants already........

When I was a kid, there was no Centrepoint. If I recall correctly, it was Cold Storage.

How about Cuppage Plaza kids?

It was a market then. Not much reason to hang out there.

Orchard Road was so much more fun back in the day. On Christmas Eve all the malls were handing out free helium-filled balloons. Imagine being a small kid and holding on to so many balloons you almost got lifted off the floor.

Anyone remember that there was a shop selling nice stickers and stationery on the 4th floor called Paper Moon? Many chiobus like to frequent there to buy stuff. We used to loiter outside that shop.

Yup. I also know Vincent Tan and Mark Menon. Ho Hoe Chuen became a pimp later in life. I saw him in Geylang introducing two ATBs to two old fucks and the four of them checked into a nearby hotel.

When will I, will I be famous?

This song by Bros comes to my mind when I think of the 80s. My big brother was part of the shopping mall kids movement back then. I remember tagging along with him to hang out at Orchard with his friends back in the late 80s. For a Pri 5 kid, it was cool thing back then to hang out with your brother and his friends and being exposed to the music and the fashion of that time.

There used to be an old forummer called Drifter who knew those guys involved

This was late-1970s fashion? The ugly women from Laofuzi comics were often drawn wearing them.
