Remembering Singapore the way it was

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

We didnt have x-files but we had 'The Night Stalker' one of my favorites.

When the weather was not this hot >.<

Too many angry people on one small island could be the cause of it.LOL

Was in class yesterday.

And the lecturer was talking about the 'Ang Chia'. Kinda lots of memories.

Then some folks were made to do self intro, and Jurong Islands were bought up.

Last time, to get to Jurong Island, must take ferry.

I was there too, before the link to main island was built.

Then......going to Sentosa also must take ferry or cable car.

And I did worked in Van houten chocolate factory during the 90s before they moved to Malaysia.

hey.. you had a Sierra too!

it came in one of those bloody huge cabinets with the sliding doors which invariably got stuck and after a while, you can't be stuffed to close the doors anymore...

it also had a timer clock at the side which you can set so that the TV turns off at a certain time...

Yup the monster size tv, bought it to catch the 1974 World Cup final live between Germany and Holland the first colour telecast.

Funny, I'm not even a football fan!

There used to be quite a few of the Police Reserve Units but I think may be only one left.

Hmmm.....think my family did have a Sierra type tv.

With sliding doors and coloured tv.

But I guess its the late 70s or early 80s for us cos I remember my mother pushing the tv out into our front kampung yard so neighbours can bring their chairs to sit there and watch tv, while we kids lit up our Mid Autumn festival lanterns and hang up on the front door big Guava tree. The guavas are so small and sweet.

The small little pinkish guavas and chikus, used to have rows of them.

Of course we wanted the durians and mangosteens.

I kinda looked thru the register when the class was going on. I am the 2nd oldest serving member of my class.

The oldest female in the class.

And is like the only female that remembers the 'ang chia'. Only 2 other guy from the class remembers the 'ang chias', not counting the lecturers and course co-ordinators.

Its depressing when we have about 4 really pretty young thing sitting at the back of the class and they are nearly 10 or more years our juniors. Including age and experiences.

I know there were the Jalan Bahar, Queenstown and Mount Vernon Police Task Force Units back in the 80s. Is there any more of the ang chia units left?

Civil servants pay was pathetic then.

Now only at Queensway.

viciouskitty74 SG

Civil servants pay now is still pathetic. And there is huge disparity among the senior grade fellas and junior grade fellas.

If it was now? I would be playing Playstation on a mega sized TV.

viciouskitty74 SG

I remember 1st time go Bowling at Orchard Cineleisure.

Was so loving that Orange Julius orange juice and nachos!

My son got me a large LCD but I seldom watch tv, gathering dust so I covered it. With internet so interesting who need the boring tv shows.

I don't play games much.

So how many divisions are there now?
