Speaking of electronic games, anybody remember having an old computer at home where you played first generation computer games - green monitor, very basic sound, had to load a big floppy disk? Anybody remember "Castle Wolfenstein"? I spent hours on that damn thing!

Bro ultra88man, I am around the same age as you. Speaking of discos/nightclubs, anybody remember the hole-in-the-wall nightspot on the top floor of Far East Plaza? It was a tiny rocker bar, with a really really good metal band (all-Malay) that played covers of Led Zepp, Scorpion, etc. This place was full of mat-rockers but everyone was friendly enough... LOL!

To know that your queing partner is a gal, and you are to hold hand with her, that is the day when you asked "WHY ME?!?!?!"

How do you hold a gals hand?
By using your little finger and hold her little finger.

Visiting the school dentist is like visiting hell.

Secondary school: Always praying to the sky to rain, so that you can have a good view of the bra when all the gals got drenched.

Fighting behind Technical Block is always a must.

Memories Memories and Memories

technical block very familar leh????
