i was only primary 2 when i moved to tam-per-niss, and that was
in 1989, 2 years later than u, i from bedok reservoir previously..
i think my mam quarrelled with my dad over matters of relationship,
bcos i'm staying near to my uncle, an irritating fool at that time,
i guess my parents decided to resolve this issue and move to
another area, still in singapore of course! but further from my
uncle house,,,,,, i admit.. i dun have a happy childhood unlike
most of you out there, ur born witha silver spoon, u got what you
want which u just had to pester, whine, throw tantrum around, ur
parents will gave you what you want immediately....
i don't...
i got a hard life....
theres no 700 series flats, no mall, no square at that time, and
hey we still lack 600 series flats(maybe government's board next
plan to build..... only 800 series flat witha poor-equiped park
anda few bicycle tracks.
then it underwent major developments and evoluted to todays
'world', so hence todays AIA buildings, Ntuc income, telepark, cpf
building or whatever deemed possible by our 'beloved'
government....
i used to fly kites, play marbles, riding bicycle over the
polytechnic's stretch of sand & asphalt road, tpoly was not
even raised yet!
nowadays, where got kids playing marble?, wheres the kite flying
activities...
nowadays kids very very very fortunate, most of them got a cellular
at very young age, my firstcomputer is still with me, 8 years old,
before that i dun even got a message pager(i rmember the thats a
trend at that time)...
i bathed withouta hot shower or a water heater...... i dun think i
need them now even though i can afford to install them........ i
got my beer
