Yes, I always wonder why it's such a good deal when we can exchange eggs for waste. :lol:tutormum:
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:
It's either Nat Day or Children's Day...mine came from Thye Hong!!
Those days, we used to leave swill in buckets along the corridor and people will collect for use in their farms. Somehow we never had any fly/cockroach/rat problem then!! -

How come I have no impression of the biscuits? Perhaps I was not much of a biscuits person when I was young until I grew up and found Marks and Spencer's range.tutormum:

And yes, the swill.....I remember my mum putting out buckets of such.....and last time garang guni man went from door to door to ask for items. Now not only I don't see them, if I do they are quite atas and selective in what they want to collect. One more thing I recall, we use to have the 'kok kok mee-man' going round soliciting for orders of noodles. I found that so cool and convenient. Used to shout from my grandma's balcony to place order for a bowl of hot-piping noodles. -
no kok-kok mee for me…but had a chee cheong fun man who will walk along the corridor at around 4pm.
Yaohan was THE ‘hypermart’ then, where we could get prepack rice and sugar. The ‘viewing gallery’ for the bakery was an eye opener with many people crowding around watching the process. Their An pan buns were prob the best seller then! -
My bro made the 血滴子, not forgetting the taiwan TV serials 保镖！

It was fun. You follow the instructions by looking at the lights opposite.
I particpated in the Youth festival parade as the guard of honour but never NDP for anything. NDP crowd was scarily huge for my size at that time.kiasimom:
We used to have a redifussion at home too
I also missed the time when I was participating in NDP. I was holding the flashcard. Last time we made beautiful pictures by turning the flashcards, which was actually a book.
Must be fun to do the flashcards in a coordinated fashion.
Sad though, we can't see the designs overselves

Any of you stayed in kampung during your childhood?
I never have the chance to stay in kampung and is wondering how life there is. -
kiasimom:
I've not stayed in a kampung before, but DH has. And he is always reminiscing about his childhood days. He's always talking about catching spiders (fighting spiders), playing in the streams, catching fishes, climbing trees and other rough and tumble games with his brothers and cousins. I think he really had a carefree childhood.Any of you stayed in kampung during your childhood?

As for me, my fave childhood memories were playing \"zero point\", five stones and chap-tek (I was chap-tek queen in school ). But my most fave game of all was to play kite-fighting. I wd dip my kite string into crushed glass and then kite-fight with my neighbours. Yup, I was a regular tom-boy (my grandma used to call me sam-seng) :lol:

What did he use to make the 血滴子 or are you referring to this cooking pot that is good for frying?
Goodness the 保镖 show was the funniest show of the century.....went round and round in circles and dunno how it ended... -

Wow, kite-fighting! Sounds interesting
