Where Bugis junction is located, there used to be just shophouses. Rundown old shophouses.

Who can remember at the front of Bugis Villiage in the Mid 90s, used to sell Pirated Music and videos CD. The techno music at the bus stop was really loud then.Very popular, we those days will just go there to buy. Laughing

Who remember the old Studebaker disco, prelude to Venom and China Black.
Boat Quay Pub such as BoatHouse, (The one on top of the roof), Corals & Shells, Taps and all those watering holes.

Oriental Emporium was still around then. Now all closed down already i think.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Now Bugis still have all the pirated stuff, but not as much. Laughing

Oriental Emporium like gone for quite long already.

LazerLordz SG

Printemps had a store at Le Meridien, which was quite a posh hotel by itself then.

Pacific Plaza had Tower Records on the top floor.

A&W branches were still in Singapore, with their root beer float and ice cream waffles.

I remember that Bukit Timah Plaza was a very popular place.

If I can remember,during that time in 81,I was in primary 3.Prata kosong only cost you 30 cents.For egg prata,it will cost you 50 cents,but you must bring your own egg or mama will charge you 70 cents.Those were the days.... Very Happy

Haze| SG

that was a long long time ago

feeder bus trips cost 15 cts
most of the buses were non aircon
a few years later, they start to have those student concessionery bus stamps with air-con or non air-con.

primary sch english books taught as mr. wollie and mr. yakie

pick up sticks, playing flag rubber (5cts each from the bookshop in pri. sch), five stones were the common games during primary school time.

of course how could we forget the ever famous zero point and the skipping rope game (father mother i am sick, please call the doctor quick quick quick.....)

sbst275 SG

Nanyang and Sinchew merged in 1982

Arrgh... The same year, the 1st aircon bus came onboard Sv 143 (Toa Payoh - Jurong Road Terminal)...

Those days the SBC mags 50c

xxthunder SG

the best part in that era is that we are all 20 years younger,joy are much simple,not so much troubled teens here and there beating people up.

tv games are simple yet much enjoyable,best of all no gst$ when we buy stuff.tv show are better than it is now.$20 IS REALLY MUCH BIGGER IN VALUE THAN NOW.

IN SHORT ,IT IS A MUCH BETTER TIME AND SPACE THAN NOW.HAVING A JOB IS HARDLY ABLE FOR YOU TO HAVE MUCH SAVING.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE BETTER TIME THAN US NOW.

LASTLY,THE WORLD IS MUCH MORE PEACEFUL THEN.

CPL SG

Circa 1960s..

Bus companies - STC (S'pore Traction Co), Hock Lee Bus, Tay Koh Yat..

bus fare only 5 cts..10 cts can get you a long way. There was a bus service from oustside the Maxwell Market to the other end of the route opposite the condo at the foot of Mt Faber. Total fare was only 10 cts.

I remembered taking an electric STC tram bus. Kind of weird because it was so silent. During those times, it was everyone for himself/herself as far as seats are concerned..no proper queues etc. Bloody bus conductors always yelling.."Ow way chia..!!.."

A steaming bowl of kuay teow fish ball soup cost only 20 cts and 30 cts got you mee-pok tah, solid one and damn nice. Chow Kuay teow only cost 30 cts a plate, can also bring yr own egg.

There was no big dept stores around except a single one called Robinsons. Prior to the big fire which burnt it down, it was THE place to go to do yr Christmas shopping...I remembered especially the huge Marklin toy train set on an area about 15 tables size. They have a few trains running around which never failed to fascinate all the kids..

The 2 stone lions at the Merdeka Bridge...

NT2 SG

the orange building beside United Square now….i remember vaguely there’s this ‘Asterix’ exhibition there??

mhcampboy SG
