For longer distance rides, the buses looked a bit nicer:

More car stories:

 

A long time ago some Air Force officers did a study on which was the most economical car. The Daihatsu Charade won and they bought 10 of those.

 

My father drove a Mazda 323 home in a hurry to catch cantonese serial "Crocodile Tears". The car flew along Jurong Town Hall Road. Not just literally, it really took to the air at that infamous sudden downslope!

[biting_point]

I got even more old school bus!

http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/images/abt_memory_mercedes14132.jpg

I love the public phone that time..

 

Dial any number without inserting 10 cent coins and you'll get to hear your friend's voice for one fast second! Repeat procedure 20 more times with random screamings.

[Silent Hunter]

Ya! Ya! Ya! I also remember the toilet ghost story when I was little! At night go toilet still check the water, see here, see there, make sure inside don't have hand in the toilet bowl! Hahahaha!

 

But that one I don't think is the Chinese迷离夜 series leh, should be even eariler.

The poor McDonald boys. Till date, there's way too much speculations and amongst the best urban legends were - They were sold to Thailand.

 

But I did recall, one of those ex-CID guys mentioned, there's no difference between them and Thai kids and they already have enough of their streetkids to begin with, so its a fallacy theory.

 

The reason why the two boys called as such - McDonalds took a very deep concern and offered like 5-6 digits for anyone with info.

 

Till date, whenever I read their stories, it gives me a chill. One of the unresolved mysteries in Singapore.

 

 

Dingdangs are when you feel rich-days. 50 cents per pack is definitely not cheap for those of us who gets a dollar-a-day-allowance. It's a freaking marketing ploy, we're being shortchanged with one measly bag of choc-coated riceballs.

 

Kaka, Chickadees, Cheezels were the them of the day. And on those days you feel like a rich *******, you get to treat yourself to those black colored bags with a huge green Question Mark on its front. Inside are VERY random toys LOL.

 

 

Talking about SBC 8, I am still living in those times where they made series on all the uniformed occupations in Singapore, starting with Army Series that made Huang Wenyong famous (whoever gets it on Youtube scores a brownie point!), then the Navy, followed by Air Force. TP series came much later than that. One of my alltime fave is about the Prisons, where that dude had huge biceps (I still dont know his name tho)

 

And adolescence, where Silk Stalkings/Scene of the Crime shows after primetime TV where late daddy and mommy were asleep. The first ten minutes are critical, if you missed it, switch off the tv and sleep.

 

MASK Crusaders! Always fighting crime! Fighting Crime!

Brave Starr - Sherrif with a horse with no legs

Toriton - Till date no one knows what I am talking about but I love this cartoon.

 

 

A cheapskate way of pissing friends off : roll a small piece of paper, double it and stick a rubber band into the bend and catapult it up your friends ass. A sure way of getting into fistfight. LOL

Oh and Mr Duncan Watt was the presenter for SBC 5 news. :D
