      Funny thing was that why we never complaint to our parents that the teacher punished us with wooden ruler, pulled our ears or being caned.

      I remembered no parents marched to the the school or complained to MOE.

      What were the titbits that you all usede to eat? Anyone sells them nowadays?
      I've never been caned on the knuckles before leh... you must have all been very notti kids :imanangel:

          we had our F1 track along Old Upper Thomson Road in the 70s which attracted huge crowds and best of all, free entry. We just need to stand on the grass next to the racing track and stuffed our ears with cotton wool to drown the screeching noise.

          Oh yeah, I used to live very near the circus of that track!

            Oh I remember those Diasy milk in triangular shape. My favourite is strawberry and my brother would hold 2 packets, one each in front of his chest, walked like a voluptuous lady. 😆

                painful when she hit on the knuckles (I didnt kena, my class boy did and he told us)
