Thanks for trying to cheer me upOriginally posted by littlestream:Oh, Ferret.......you are still far from it.
What I've experience is even older than the list. 
The game "kuti kuti" wasn't even mentioned. And then there was that kite flying with the thread coated with glass bits. Also, going to the provision shop with that little 555 booklet to "oh-tang" (credit) on purchases. Bought those Rowntrees and Polo sweets. Go home kena whacked!!!
Oh dear, this is going to sound cruel. Neighbours and I catch those beetles, Tied one of its legs to a stick and watch it flying in circles.
But I know about kite flying and the booklets too >_<'
Anyway I kinda remember other stuff, like thos ice bars in primary school ? I think they were about 5 to 10 cents per stick.
And I remember those provision stores were better than NTUC >_<'
And chewing gum was still around then. -

You didn't say if you use the "white wash" thingy for your shoes after you washed them. I remembered having to do that. And I wasn't joking about the poor part. My shoes had some holes and I still use them. Errr... don't tell me, Jack Neo borrow my story for "Home Run"?

Remember someone posted somewhere, "school life was carefree, we enjoyed going to school to play with our friends."
As for the present, i think its the exact opposite, "school life was so blardy hectic i had no time to play, we hated going to school."
I wonder if anyone really enjoys going to school nowadays.... -

8. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned.
SMRT new Mercedes Benz Habit Bendy buses got some of them also use BEEEEP as the bus stopping bell.
The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion is red. The
big red bell gives a loud BEEEP! when pressed.
There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses. The conductor will check
for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole on the ticket. -
not forgetting their exterior~
