1 of my favourite games in school.Originally posted by Chelzea:eraser game -
play erasers, flags print erasers were hot at that time.
we catch fighting spiders and keep them in a matchbox, put them into fights and bet 10-50 cents on each fight.
make paper bullets and we play police and thief or catching game.
buy a few yakults, keep the caps and you can exchange for a toy with a few caps.
fried chicken drumsticks/wings were like 30-50 cents at the canteen
first time MRT operated were only from clementi to yishun (i think)
there were lorries without doors still
SBS buses has those very high seats just above the wheels
you have bus conductors punching bus tickets and press the black line for bell (on the ceiling of bus or right by the exit door), to get off the bus.
those lived in the kampung gotta walk a long route to reach the main road or hitch a ride on those lorries.
and many more~ heehe -

British comedies like "Mind your Language", "Blackadder" and this fella who dons various roles (can't remember his name) makes the bulk if English entertainment.
Jing Qu Long Hu Bang (Mandarin version of Top Ten Songs) on the weekends. Every few months or so, I would go down to this shop (which sells CDs and Casettes) to dub the latest Top Ten songs in a Casette for a small fee.
There was the time where Motorola pagers were quite common that when it sounds off in a bus or plcae... u can see many ppl chking their pockets and bags to see if it's theirs. haha.
I missed A&W, their Root Beer Vanilla Float was good. Curly fires also not bad either.
Ti-Kams and those black coloured plastic bags (The items inside again wrapped by newspaper).
Can buy Dunhill ciggs by sticks. Mama shop stocked those cylinder tins filled with these.
It was also a boom time for Japanese Drama serials. San Ren Shing, The Volleyball one, The Ultraman series (Man, I love those stage sets. hahaha) and many others.
Playing cards with themes (Aircrafts, Submarines, Sports Car). Players slugged each other out by outplaying ya opponents with bigger or smaller data, depending on the data one call out for.
Singtel was the only Telco.
Carrom. Usually played in CC around my old estate back then during the weekends. Players need to declare which errr... seed to hit. Remember..."No sound no count?" "backstroke"?? hahaha -
Nowadays Nike and Adidas were commonly seen.
Back then, Lotto...Ascott...Diadora...New Balance had quite a following too. -
