If the laodies are not willing to be targetted (Wee Kiat is one good example), the ladies will have no chance to 'smile at us' or 'pull pull our arms'. Don't have to worry for me - I have better willpower than you think. Besides, I don't think I can depend on friends like Chris.<BR/><BR/>Frannxis wrote:<BR/><I>why do you say the old man preferred pink colour?</I><BR/><BR/>I only think so.

I guess it must be in the early 50s when you were a primary school boy in that area. Looks like nothing much has changed in that area after more than half a century. Amazing!<BR/><BR/>Your example is proof that environment doesn't always make or break a person. Nature and character plays a strong part too, not forgetting a strict mother, of course.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1159760309795595852006-10-02T11:38:00.000+08:002006-10-02T11:38:00.000+08:00Hey, Victor, old man Wee Kiat here.Thanks for the ...Hey, Victor, old man Wee Kiat here.<BR/>Thanks for the very interesting, educational and humorous posting about the goings-on near the Geylang Post Office.<BR/><BR/>I am familiar with the area around Geylang Post Office as I lived in the area as a kid. My primary eduction was in Geylang English School, in the the single-storey long buildings located between Lorongs 21 and 23, and a short walk from Geylang PO.<BR/><BR/>One lazy afternoon a couple of Sundays back, a wave of nostalgia swept over me and I decided to re-visit the old school area. I parked my car in the car park between Geylang English School and Geylang Road. Before getting out of the car, I peered through my windscreen to survey the scene along the pavement. There were young ladies chatting up old men and one young lady was tugging at the arm of one old man. I then decided that I was not going to participate in these exciting (sexciting?) social activities, re-started the car and drove off. I guess it is the fear of the Lord firstly and secondly, fear of the Wife, that triggered my retreat. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, this area in Geylang was notorious for red-light activitists and gangsters when I was a kid. The young ladies would go from one meeting point (the Lai Ming Hotel in your posting was one venue) to another by open-top trishaws.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, growing up in the Geylang area meant I had a good probability of becoming a gangster or a pimp. I think it was fear of my Mother that I was kept on the straight and narrow and became a nerdy student and teacher. <BR/>Regards,<BR/>Wee KiatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1159750703853854542006-10-02T08:58:00.000+08:002006-10-02T08:58:00.000+08:00In my opinion, the old man was much smarter then t...In my opinion, the old man was much smarter then the university don, don't you think so? For the sake of the young readers of my blog, I will not elaborate why. So the moral of the fairy tale, I mean story is: "Intelligence does not come from education alone. It also comes from pounding the streets, literally." - Another famous Victorkoo saying, hee.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1159748836636776902006-10-02T08:27:00.000+08:002006-10-02T08:27:00.000+08:00And I luv the way you described story of the don a...And I luv the way you described story of the don and the woman - it read as if you're writing a fairy tale.

In the print media, TV and even radio (some of the stuff utter by the radio DJs is enough to make a sailor blush!). It's the youngsters like you son that I'm worried about. Did you do your fatherly duty and educate them about the undersirable influence of the mass media? That includes your blog as well.
