Sungei Road is still much the same now compared to the 1970s as I remember it, except that most of the old pre-war houses around there have been torn down. The empty plots of land there have been fenced up and there is grass overgrowing within them. When you enter this area, you are instantly brought back in time. Better visit again and blog about it because I have a feeling that it may not be there for very long.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-76698435128440841112007-06-12T21:22:00.000+08:002007-06-12T21:22:00.000+08:00Chun See - I visited F&N factory during a student ...Chun See - I visited F&N factory during a student excursion, possibly in the 60s. We were shown all the processes in the manufacture of soft drinks. Almost all processes were mechanised even in those days. Yes, they recycled old bottles many times over. One of the earliest processes was the automated washing of old bottles.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-35512310714674396482007-06-12T21:19:00.000+08:002007-06-12T21:19:00.000+08:00Another observation: The cart actually have leaf s...Another observation: The cart actually have leaf springs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-65934071037253813162007-06-12T21:16:00.000+08:002007-06-12T21:16:00.000+08:00Etel - Glad that you like this post and that your ...Etel - Glad that you like this post and that your nick has changed colour from black to blue again.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-39292131089059987122007-06-12T10:38:00.000+08:002007-06-12T10:38:00.000+08:00Not so sure if Sungei Road still as good as in the...Not so sure if Sungei Road still as good as in the past now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-36763005294774562622007-06-12T10:29:00.000+08:002007-06-12T10:29:00.000+08:00I remeber we had to pay a 5 cts deposit for the so...I remeber we had to pay a 5 cts deposit for the soft drink bottles.

Yes,...Chun See - Thanks for pointing out the error. Yes, you are right. The character I have used meant "long (time)", of course. That's is the problem when one gets only grade P3 for Chinese at 'O' levels. (Same lousy grade as my literature, which explains my crappy poems, haha).<BR/><BR/>To further complicate the matter, I don't know how to switch my PC's Chinese input mode to traditional Chinese. (The Chinese on the postcard was in traditional Chinese.) I couldn't find any character that looked similar, so I just took the first character which has the same <I>hanyu pinyin</I>. So paiseh.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-67852477721801739222007-06-11T23:01:00.000+08:002007-06-11T23:01:00.000+08:00Tigerfish - You obviously read Walter's very enter...Tigerfish - You obviously read <A HREF="http://coolinsights.blogspot.com/2007/06/does-anything-or-whatever-work.html" REL="nofollow">Walter's very entertaining post</A> on the latest drink fad. :)Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-79483137043806618812007-06-11T22:51:00.000+08:002007-06-11T22:51:00.000+08:00Firehorse - Yes, the modern day equivalent of ice ...Firehorse - Yes, the modern day equivalent of ice ball that is the ice kacang nowadays also comes with grounded roast peanuts.
