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

Mr Chew, when was it in Singapore that people only paid 50 cents for a bowl of noodles?

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.

Slept through most of the match because had to go to school>LOL.

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.

All melacholic movies, from Love Story to Towering Inferno.

I like Eyes of Laura Mars.

'Earthquake' the movie was the first time in Sensurround ,all the big sound boxes brought in to trigger a heart attack for the weak heart.In a real eathquake no sound and it last less than 60 seconds

If I had time machine, I probably go back in time and lock old man up under ISA before he locks up anybody.
