Haha, that was very naughty of you and I am quite sure that samsui woman definitely did not appreciate what you did! :evil: :lol: :lol:When I was 4-5 years old, I remembered seeing a lot of samsui women, all in their 50-60s, along my corridor.
They were very bad-tempered and tough looking, and didn't seem to like children much.
But they talked a lot to my ah-mah, who's my caregiver.
I remembered taking a water pistol and shooting jets of water into one of the samsui's women's flat one day. She's not pleased.
You just reminded me of one of those samsui woman selling chee cheong fun in my kampong days. Yes, she wore those typical blue samfu with black pants and a red headgear and would carry a pole across her shoulders with two square tins containing chee cheong fun and she would go around the kampong, yelling \"Chee Cheong Fun, Chee Cheong Fun\" and we would come running out to buy from her and no, no plates then, but served on banana leaves! Good old tasty chee cheong fun with red sauce and sesame seeds! :drool: -

OMG :drool: That reminded me of the fishcake stall that was operated from a tricycle. The uncle would usually be there right after my pre-school. I also recalled that I have kway chap everyday for breakfast. Not very healthy huh... that's why I stopped eating it in recent years.
Btw... kampung toilet also came into my memory. Was relating to the kids that I refused to use to the kampung toilet. It is not desirable to see other people's poo, etc... The smell???? I was probably 4 yrs old then so my mum would lay papers and let me do my business in some backstreet. :oops: -
MMM:

Kampong toilet? :idea: That's another one of those childhood memories! :hi5: Remember the night bucket man and his vehicle with 36 doors? (Oops, were there really 36 doors? :? )
My parents used to tell me to study hard, if not might end up like those night bucket man and boy, that was enough to make me study hard! :lol: But of course, what my parents did know then was that the night bucket man is no longer needed nowadays lah! :lol:
And I used to refuse to step into the toilets late at night. :dowan: My dad had seen and killed a snake in there before. Don't think I fancy having my buttocks kissed by one of those snakes even at this age, what more about then? :!: -
peh spent most of my childhood in a kampong somewhere ulu changi area lah always running abt barefooted...

I spent my childhood living somewhere in mandai (my school mates always laughed at me staying with ah meng :roll: ).
We had to \"poo\" into a pond, very eco-friendly, i didnt think much
about it at that time because it was part of our lifestlye.
We had 3 wells (one for bathing, one for cooking and one for misc). There was a fish in the well we used for bathing. Everytime I threw the bucket into the well, i would wonder if I would hit it. Somehow, the fish survived for as long as I could remember. But sometimes, i thought this fish must be a very stressed fish, imagine being thrown a bucket every few minutes, few times a day :!:
Everyday, after school, I would leave my school bag in the living room and went out to play. I would touch the bag again only to pick it up again for school the next day No Kiasu parents then ... I still manage to get my degree.
Kids these days are not easy, parents more difficult :stupid: -

When we were young like 3yrs+, we boo in the kids 'tham pui'. A few years down the road, our kampung upgrade to the modern flush toilet.
We can see snakes and bian sei long occasionally whenever we play outside. Once we see the snakes, we shout for our granny and she will use the bamboo stick to hit it dead.
On top of that, we will also see centipedes crawling about in the house, not to mention lizards crawling on top of the ceiling and walls. Surprisingly, none of it drop on our heads. Hopefully not now too.
My granny used to rear fishs, chickens, pigeons and pigs for a living. -
boo still remember bathing outside kampong house n this uncle staring at me...his 'thing' pointing at me lor... :oops:

I had monitor lizards living near my kampong and sighting them basking in the sun was an almost daily affair.We can see snakes and bian sei long occasionally whenever we play outside. Once we see the snakes, we shout for our granny and she will use the bamboo stick to hit it dead.

House lizards? We love to make paper bullets and shoot them down from the ceiling using rubber bands or my uncle would use a \"Y\" shaped looking gadget to shoot them. Erm.... what's that \"Y\" shaped looking gadget called? :? -
We do use paper bullets to shoot them down if there's too many on top of us. Scare they pee and shit on our heads!
That Y shape gadget is catapult. :love:25hourmaid:
