Spot on! Ha ha ha! Though my favourite snacks then were neither ka ka nor ding dang. I love twisties and chickadees.

I think I must have been gay early on as I was fascinated back then with my sister's Strawberry Shortcake and Barbie dolls.

Most of all, Gem and the Holograms. I can still sing the opening song, outrageously.

[doncoin]

She-Ra. Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony.. Good grief! I was already a homo back then. No wonder my mom rolled her eyes when I told her I was gay. The signs were there from young.

[oralb]

21. CDIS were your bestfriend.

OMG i can still remembered the starting tune of CDIS's videos (deng deng....deng deng deng)

everytime that tune started, it was a sign for me to switch off my brain and sleep...

[Guest Agares]

She-Ra. Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony.. Good grief! I was already a homo back then. No wonder my mom rolled her eyes when I told her I was gay. The signs were there from young.

She-Ra is so much better than He-Man hoh. He-Man is like so, the macho queen.

[Panda_9791]

I always thought one of the most memorable thing in the 80s was the drinking of milk in Primary school (point 4). I vividly remembered that the milk package is of a pyramid shape and we have to cut off the tip to insert the straw. This apparently lasted only a few years in my school. So many years later, i saw a similar pyramid drink packaging just awhile ago in China... i so wanted to buy a few back, but realized they are yohgurt drinks... so better now...

[TopChinese]

OMG am I the only man jacking off to He Man and Tom Selleck?

[erection day]

I have a confession to make. In the good old days of the 80s, I have nursed many lustful thoughts of doing unspeakable things to Lee Major (then the Six Million Dollar Man). And him to me. I imagined I was his Bionic Boy Toy.

[taxme7]

Wow... i deeply missed those pyramid packing milks. I also like those kaka.

I wonder anyone of u can remember this channel 8 series called Xiao Di Di (about a robot).

There was also this Ribena drink (2 children sitting under the tree and share their Ribena drink).

1 WORD!!! OMG.... this thread brought back so many fond memories... Here's my list:

2) The Computer Club was one of the most popular ECAs.... everyone wanted to play with those desktops and learning how to write programmes on it.

3) Every primary school kid was good at "Tok Ka" (One Leg). And during recess, the whole basketball court was filled with groups playing tok-ka. I realised that despite being a right hander, I was left legged.

4) President Sheares and his wife were the photos that hung in the school hall....

5) One day, the Singapore flag was lowered to half mast...and all RTS shows were shown in black and white for a few days. All my favorite programmes were canceled and replaced with documentaries about President Sheares... that was when I was told he had passed away.

15) Pink Panther at USSC was the IN place for secondary school boys to go for a haircut.

16) CDIS programmes only came on at certain times of the day, and when the programme was about to start, the teacher would send everyone rushing to the AVA room to watch a 30min CDIS programme.

17) Twisties and Chickadees were affordable at only 20 cents a pack. Cheezels was for the richer students at 40cents a pack.

18) Walls in MPH toilets (next to old National Library) had lots of graffati and pictures of dicks, and pager numbers of guys looking for gay sex.

19) National Theatre was one of the most iconic arts building before the Esplanade came along.

20) Oshin was a 15 min show during San-kai Shijian every Mon, Wed, Fri at 7pm. Samuel Chong was the male host.

21) Oshin graduated to being a full 1 hour serial shown everyday after a while.

22) Oshin's husband, Long San, was the most handsome Japanese actor on TV after San Bu You He era.

23) Ling Biao (Mio-tsu-kushi) was shown after Oshin ended... the male actor (Kawano Taro) was GORGEOUS.

24) You realised that Chen Liping sounded like a man without her dubbing artist.

25) Qingchun 123 was filmed at Methodist Girls School, and they all wore MGS uniforms.

[Guest .]

Do you guys remember there's this Japanese detective series in the 80's on TV. The uncle type detective in there I really fancy him that I keep all newspaper cuttings of him and hide it within my books.

On Tuesdays (and Fridays too I think), you tuned in religiously to Say It With Music with Jeanette Joseph and Philip Chew. At that time, you recorded the songs people dedicated cos the DJs on this show didn't talk thru the intro od the song.

You bought Smash Hits and No.1 every week and cut out the pictures of the artistes and pasted them on your files....

Hmm...XT computers? then 286, 386, 486...

DOS prompt, autoexec.bat

Customised calendar or greeting card printed using dot matrix printer.

Atari? Gameboy, Prince of Persia

Bulletin boards, then the beginings of email and internet ...

Cassette tapes, video tapes vinyls, CDs, laserdisc ... video tape rental shops everywhere.

And how big screen cinemas closed down due to video tapes ...

I guess we are the generation that has truly been through the digital revolution.

Few youngsters these days can survive without email, internet, handphone etc etc...

but we did and we saw how it become an essential part of our lives.

[Guest bb]

when you rent a video casset from the video rental shop, you need to tell the rental guy your machines is a VHS or a Beta.

watching a movie then cost only 2.50 and 3.50 for a circus seat.

There will be an usher to guide you to your seat in the cinema, you just show him your ticket, he will use his torch light to point to your seat.

The blockbuster during the 70's would be Stars Wars, Jaws, King Kong ...etc (these shows were so popular then, some cinema even have standing room for the audience).

My parent brought me to see my first Ultra men movie.

There is a TV serise call 日本沉没.

One of most popular chinese female singer is call 江玲.

If you are a fan of chinese pop music, you would have at least bought a casset from the record company TONY.

刘文正 was the no.1 top male single until 费翔 come out to compete with him , but after awhile (费翔) he just disappear.

There use to have baskin robin ice cream in Singapore.

I use to have a toy, it is a parachute men, you just throw the men high up in the air and let it drop with the parachute.

There use to have a small plastic plane inside the KAKA tibits.

Softdrink come in big glass bottles, my fav would be Mirinda Orange and Fanta Grape, (I think they have a banana flavour too).

There is a TV ad with a girl call 美玲, think it ended with something like 美玲, 样样都行.

The carlberg advert on cinema, will have a women in bikini walking on the beach.

I always help my uncle buy his ciggie, the brand is 555.

The school will arrange trip to the Science Centre, (A traffic school at East coast?), Zoo for the school holiday outing, you would need to bring a consent form home to let your parent sign the form.

Somethime in primary school, if your shoe is too dirty, you will use the chalk to whiten your shoes.

I always wanted to jump the dad in Bionic 6, he's hot! Speaking of which, the first series of Bionic 6 was fabulous, then come the second series where you can see the obvious drop in quality in the animation. Such a shame. Maybe idea-famined Hollywood could make this into a movie!

I remembered watching a lot of rented Hong Kong TVB video tapes during my school holidays. And those days although they were the 80s, but the TV serials from Hong Kong are of very good quality! Great storylines and great theme songs too! Also, for those wuxia TV series, although the special effects were cheesy, the engaging stories and great acting made up for it.

Memorable TV series include the Condor Heroes, Dragon Sword and Heaven Sabre, etc. And at that time, Andy Lau was HOT! Tony Leung was CUTE! And my favourite actress was Barbara Yung, who sadly committed suicide.

Girl: 您在喝什麼? (What you drink?)

Boy: Ribena. 我媽媽說他对我非常好 (Ribena. Mom said good for me.)

Girl: Can you let me drink a bit? (Sorry I gave up translating)

Boy: Good. Give you a bit.

Girl sips.: Ummmmmmm! Sedap!

Boy: Grins.

Actually the lines were:

Girl: What's that you're drinking?

Boy: Ribena. My mummy says it's good for me.

Girl: Can I have some?

Boy: Yes, but not too much.

Girl: Ummm....

Last time when you want to go sentosa, you either take the cable car or the ferry.

Anyone remember the cable car tradegy?

You will go to the satay club for satay.

When I was in primary school, the nurse from Ministry of Health will come and take my weight, after that, they will give me 2 bag of milk powder to bring home.

During the 70's my grandmother always bring me to Jurong cinema and Savoy Cinema (四海).

My mother will bring me to Queentown cinema or Majestic cinema.

When I was older, I will go to Empress cinema (华声), Clementi cinema, Tat Lee Cinema (there is one more cinema close to it, but I can't remember the name), there is one another one near Beauty World, think it is call 嘉宾 or something like that.

I love going to the wayang show, but not for the show more interested at the stalls there. I will always buy the 麥芽糖 to eat.

I remember there was once or twice where everybody stayup late until 1130 and when the TV announce we bring the clock foward by half and hour.

Anyone remember or seem the 小YG advert before?

Gay World.......with the 3 cinemas, the basketball stadium.....emporium.....da tong restaurant....the Tae Kwan Do school.....and the sleazy toilets......

but what reminded me most was not just the place, but the experienced I had there.....remember many many years ago when I first came in contact with BW, I was too reserve/closeted to post....but after reading and being captivated by stories from one of the lao jiao, took up the courage to PM him and shared with him my "childhood" encounters at gay world.....regrets but he has since OB many years ago under that nick....I could still vividly remembers those encounters in the 70s, though I was only a kid then.....

On Tuesdays (and Fridays too I think), you tuned in religiously to Say It With Music with Jeanette Joseph and Philip Chew. At that time, you recorded the songs people dedicated cos the DJs on this show didn't talk thru the intro od the song.

You bought Smash Hits and No.1 every week and cut out the pictures of the artistes and pasted them on your files....

Remember Your Host Tonight over Radio 1? I never fail to tune in to Jenny Teo. What happened to her? Yes, Friday night was Jeanette Joseph, Monday was Lyn Saadon and Jenny was Thursday, Tuesdays.
