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

Days when children are scared of elderly people, parents or elder siblings.

Now is the days where the elderly people, parents, all family members are scared of any child & youngsters.

ok...

u know the difference between then and now?

the japs and brits came and went back...

but the new newcomers are here to stay...

I know, but will they stay as what they hope for?

There is something that this little red dot cannot offer.

Many will leave ultimately.

I remembered years ago in Katong when this elephant rampaged through a kampong eating all the banana trees. I shot the pic, with all the Malay folks trying so hard to shooed away the elephant.

Try to dig out and post when I get back.

Hahaha that would be educational.I am also curios to see how the Malays went bananas over this incident.

the wildest wild animals i have seen that are not captivated.........

all i see now outside my place are the condo ppl hanging their laundries at the balconies and the occasional foreign flags hung outside their units...

All my life it is either an Indian or a Russian cheap thrill circus...best experience as a kind was watching a human being riding a motorcycle inside a metal globe defying gravity.

Anyone remembers the show Dark Crystal in the early 80s?

I was very young then and scared stiff by the characters...

I like Clash of the Titans though. Hope they do a remake.

For most parts of the 80s got no time for TV and I was watching videos mostly so havent the slightest clue about 'Clash of the Titans' or 'Dark Crystal' but I do remember 'Battlestar Galactica'

the Bear SG

Clash of the Titans is being remade right now...

actually, Battlestar was remade too...

Hollywood is out of ideas

I felt in the old days that it wasnt how good the episodes were but more like viewers needed to see the faces of their favorite TV stars at least once a week.

the Bear SG

mom loved the HK series like 楚留香 and 天龙八步

they had really crappy "special effects" compared to the ones now, but everything came to a standstill each time the episodes came on

Short Ninja SG
