Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Anyone remember the Figurine Panini sticker books?

Like "World of Survival", "Ghostbusters", and even one for the SAF called "Daring Men and Modern Machines".

I still have stacks of the extra stickers lying around...damn waster of money...I still remember the hardest sticker to get for the "World of Survival" book as the damn Eastern Rosetta parrot.

My parents will brought us to this Under the bridge - "Kio Ka" to eat "Lunch".....on the 2nd floor of the old Go down warehouse there is this old lady her feet was bound. That was the first and only times i ever saw a person with a bound feet. (she must have Great Stories)

Tiong chai park...street food center...right opposite Hong Lim Park...another place of Hot and dirty but Great Eating Place....

There is still one Dragon playground at Toa Payoh.

There is still one Dragon playground at Toa Payoh.

The reason why it is hard to find sand in playgrounds is because cats like to bury their feces in them.

The original Cold Storage at Katong...it was only torn down a few years ago right? Very sad that so many things are sacrificed in the name of development...

its about a futuristic dodge viper car. Used to fight crime or smthing. I know its an american TV series.

I really loved the show cause the car was freaking futuristic, like it had guns coming out from it sides and retractable weapons.

OHSheet SG

ya. and i think this show was like 10-15 years ago. And considered for that time, the viper car already looks like the cars of today. (if i rmber correctly)

Short Ninja SG

10 -15 years ago .Ok thanks no wonder my head registered a blank
