And the famous satay club near city hall

I think you mean between Queen Elizabeth Walk and City Hall. Anyways, the fake satay club is nearby now, at Lau Pa Sat every night after 6pm. The real one moved to Sembewang Shopping Centre.

URA has no idea of national identity. I am very surprised they never use the Merlion as landfill material since cement now not cheap. Or convert old high court to *yet another* hotel for F1 season.

Things change fast in a small city-state.

Maybe we should en bloc Singapore and use the money to buy Western Australia?

Firstly like to express thanks to the bros here for bringing back the memories of 70's..
Lots of things we do as kids we gradually forget as our adulthood embraces us and things like kids/family/job committments..
Yes the things we do in the 70's as kids is not longer seen now replaced by computers and enrichment courses...
Kids in that time i say have plenty of childhood but sadly now is much less.
Playing catching with your pals in the neighbourhood and at the same disturb the neighbours with our shouting n running...those are the days...
I also remb at that time before Junction 8 and Yishun, Ang Mo Kio central is the place to hang out for couples/kids and everybody..
But now though AMK central looks nicer than before, it's no longer the same.
