Err... I thought the free milk was the one that was given in a cup? The pyramid-shaped milk cartons were the ones that we need to pay monthly and open to all students. Or am I from different era or someone wanted badly to proof he was skinny?[quote]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.
So there. Proof that I was once skinny as h*ll.
I check with my hubby again. The milk not lumpy. How come I remember mine was? :?[/quote]hey En, the free milk I used to drink in school was lumpy and it did not come in single package form. 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: -

Ha. Good to know my memory does not fail me. Don't mind my dh. He's hitting 40 in 5 days time. :lol:

Oh... I'm not squeamish about killing chickens... I've seen and done it myself. But those are chickens with which I have no emotional ties. How can anyone bear the look in the eyes of their pet when they are about to slaughter them? :scared:... 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.
To all the chickens, ducks and rabbits mum have slaughtered: Please forgive her and bless your souls

Of all things, why chicken talk?
It reminds me of a terrible accident I had when I was little. While trying to catch the runaway chicks and put them back into the box, I stepped onto one and killing it instantaneously with my foot! 
And that spelt the end of my chicken rearing career...
Milk, I don't think I received any free packets. Still remember paying $1.50 weekly for the pyramid milk.
But, but, but, I was undernourished enough to get free milk powder.
All the PSP talk in the other thread reminds me of the handheld games I played during my younger days. Does anybody remember the octopus, hammers flying about, parachute games, etc? During that time, one gameset can play only one game. -

Yes yes. It's called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_&_Watch. Killed thousands of productive hours of primary and secondary school kids before Tetris took over as the main culprit. So you see, there really is nothing new between the so-called born-digital generation and us. -
I miss those packets of biscuits which they distribute during National Day. I always look forward to receiving a big packet of biscuits by courtesy of Khong Guan (I think). It was a great treat as we seldom get snacks (very poor hor). With a sister and 2 bros in primary school, we have 4 packets of biscuits which feed us for weeks. These days, the kids are luckier getting more 'expensive' gifts. :drool:

Yes! I remember those too... that was the start of the NDP \"goody bag\". Also, what about those 7th month pails of goodies brought home by our parents from their factories or businesses? I cracked many a teeth on the sugar canes in the bundles. -
My childhood memories… let me think.
Playing zero-point, hop-scotch, old maid,five stones, the bubble gums with tattoos, tikam tikam. I especially like the tikam tikam as each time I will get a bell! Different colours each time.
I like to join my neighbours to play catching and down to the playground to play the swing and merry go round. Nowadays, can’t find the swing anymore.
After that, we upgrade to Nitendo playing Super Mario bros, western bar, walking across to ECP to play the Viking.
Hmm. If I remember more, I will update. -

Actually hor, I didnt know that we get those biscuits cos of NDP. Was just curious why once in a long time (which is 1 year) we get those until a few years later than realise it's cos of this 'special' day. :oops:tutormum:

For 7th month, I only watch opera which later became ge tai. Parents never 'by by' so watch these only. DH's family more well to do as his parents are in business so got involved in those 7th month celebrations. His parents always sent him to represent them to go to the dinner and bring pots to 'ta pao' leftovers. :rotflmao: -

Those wayang shows in the past, my favourite activity was to go under the stage to buy the 麦芽糖。 I am not sure why they must be under the stage though. And when I was young, I remember the Redifusion was turned on the whole day long and one of the interesting programme for the adults then was this Hokkien programme..\"Ong Tho Kong Khor\"?
:oops: Anyone in this era?
