- When it was cool for the ah bengs n ah lians to go Sparks, Canto, Fire disco and have tea dances there. And the ah bengs will shout numbers or gang cheers while dancing (with fireball moves) and wore those loud bright clothes like yellow, red etc.
And loved brands like Trussardi, MCM, Versace, Sonia Rykiel, Armani, Moschino (i used to wonder how come the ah bengs/lians were so rich!) And carried branded paper bags around..(i admit i did that too lol, i even saved up to buy a black zipped Valentino wallet with red words)
p/s : now the ah beng lians hang out at dbl o and st james haha.
- When people carried pagers and if you had a memo jazz, you were envied. And when someone called you, you had to find a phone booth to return the call. ( i rem i had 2 pagers, a yellow alcatel one and my memojazz)

- When people would go ice skating at JEC and the guys would check out the girls (they called it sian za bor) and vice versa

- When SBS buses were non airconditioned and the seats were red and you could only pay by coins..and later on the red/blue transitlink cards were introduced..now its the EZ link card lol.
- When Mediacorp used to be called SBC and then TCS.
- When children would buy 10/20 cents snacks and tikam games from the mama shop downstairs. (and those silly shiny idol cards with celebrities like Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau on them)
