jedamum:
yes, yes jedamum..I'm from your mil generation if it makes you happy.what free milk in school? the triangular packets of milk need money one....
oh wait....remembered my MIL told me about the free milk.
generation gap ah....
how come i rem free milk and pyramid packs of milk? maybe your memory rusty la or you not undernourished. maybe you go to good schools, where all the kids are well fed. I went to Bukit Panjang English School (that's what it was called back then before they changed it to BPPS)...where most kids are from the neighbourhood kampungs...so if you really want to guess my age..the clue is above. :lol: -
tutormum:
maybe you skinny but heavy bones. :lol:
I always envy my friends when they were told to go and get their free milk during recess. I'm also skinny but why I never get. :?

Hey!!! I'm not that ancient and definitely not your MIL age.
The milk was lumpy. My hubby got to drink it too. We both love the taste :love: I'm undernourished because I'm a picky eater. Extremely picky.
Yes, I do remember the story about the man cook in curry. Yucks! -

hm...according tohttp://timesofmylife.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/milk-talk/, yes, you are not as old as my MIL....Hey!!! I'm not that ancient and definitely not your MIL age.
maybe she is under a different programme (apparently, there is another such 'programme' in the 1950s, according to one of the comments)

jedamum, those are actually pyramid-shaped boxes with a hole for a straw on the side. Strange given that I never seem to find the straws for the milk. Most times I just cut off the tip and glug it down. After a while, they started coming in the carton format.what free milk in school? the triangular packets of milk need money one....
oh wait....remembered my MIL told me about the free milk.
generation gap ah....
So there. Proof that I was once skinny as h*ll. -
mathsparks:
... i think those days, a lot of us kids had their pets cooked in diff ways..herbal rabbits nice. sorry rabbits..bless your souls.
:sick: I can never kill, much less eat, my own pet chick. -

I'm from the era of zero point, 5 stones, hopscotch, brushing teeth after recess by squating along the drains...and yes, paper dolls and balls too. θιΉ°ζε°ιΈ‘, chiclets, wrigleys, short pom pom socks.
OMG, we played almost the same games, except I played in the longkangs (small ones lah), yes to chicklets, wrigleys and short pom pom socks :!:
plucking rambutans, learning how to bike...floating paper boats out in the garden when in rains
YES to those, including stealing neighbours' mangoes from their trees using the gala pole sorry!
my sisters n i had a metallic cooking set, we made a makeshit stove in the garden, using twigs n stones, then put a guppy in a pot with water and watch it cook. how gruesome! sorry guppy. pls forgive us. we also used the toy chopper to chop up leaves and pretend we were cooking veg.
I had those plastic ones and YES I used to pluck leaves and flowers and pretend they were veges too !!! -

I check with my hubby again. The milk not lumpy. How come I remember mine was? :? -
ChiefKiasu:
chief, watch out! my mum's a pet killer..she's slaughtered chickens, ducks, rabbits..no dogs la. Have seen how she does it...by putting the blade to the neck of the duck. :yikes: and then draining the blood into a bowl.mathsparks:

It is lumpy because they pour the powder into large containers and mixed it themselves. In later years, the milk had to pay and it came in banana flavour if I recalled rightly and I remember having the straws. So we are in the same era....but one thing for sure was I was not skinny but I still got to drink the milk. :lol:
