Yes, everyone was crazy about Malaysian Cup, but I was never a football fan.

Only had mixed feelings when they played Penang or when Singapore play Thailand in the Seap games other than that I had a part to play in the lion's roar.

The only football match I seriously watched was the World Cup Final in 1974 between Germany and Holland. The only reason was to catch the first live telecast of colour programme by RTS.
Other matches, hmm... can't even remember what's what.

Price of a bowl of noodles started to rise from 20/30c in the 60s to 30/50c in the early 70s. By 1976 price jumped to 50/70c then again to 70c/$1 in 1978 and then a $1.50/$2 by 1981.

Steve McQueen ruled with 'Bullit' although the car chase is not as spectacular as the car chases these days why even the Malaysian Police can do better with the Mat Rempits. -

Can't really blame the hawkers for increasing prices, HDBs these days are above $200,000, need to sell lots of noodles to cover, then prices have gone up more because of GST.
