Paya Lebar School Class 6B 1977
Paya Lebar Primary School Class from 1972 - 1977. Calling all class alumni. We know since day 1.
I believe Best Friends are Forever as every person carries a child inside, and a Kid’s intuition is the most accurate in life.
It doesn’t hurt to play an extra golf game with personalized golf balls. 😁

A Lunar New Year toast to our Best Primary School Teacher!
I grew up in Singapore and I went to primary school regardless of the weather and dinner time was at 7.00pm and bed was 9.00pm.
Eating out at a restaurant was a huge deal, that only really happened when it was a birthday or a very special occasion.
Fast food was Friday night Fish’n’chips nights and having a bottle of coke from the cafe was a real treat.
You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your ‘home’ clothes. There was no taking or picking you up in the car, you walked or rode your bike! You got home did your chores and your homework before dinner.
Our house phone had a cord attached, so there was no such things as private conversations or mobile phones!
We didn’t have Neon, Light box or Netflix, we had only 1 radio, and listened to Radio 1. Watched black and white telly and it was a family affair in front of the tv in the living room with whatever was prime time at 8pm on channel 5.
We played hopscotch, Hide & Seek, soccer, skateboarded, marbles, challenged our pet spider against someone else’s and sun tanned by the public pool.
Staying in the house was a PUNISHMENT and the only thing we knew about "bored" was --- "You better find something to do before I find it for you!"
We played music via a record or tape player.
We went to the corner cafe for prata and kopi Tarik and marveled at how it was just barely a dollar.
We ate what mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all and if we didn’t eat our vegetables there was no ice cream.
Bottled water is luxury, we drank from the tap and the hose.
We read cartoons on Sunday mornings in the newspaper, and rode our bikes for hours and ran around the neighbourhood.
We weren't AFRAID OF ANYTHING. We played till dark... sunset was our alarm, when the street lights came on.
Day or night, street football barefoot was a daily thing, and played seriously.
If someone had a fight, that's what it was, 1 on 1 and we were friends again a week later, if not SOONER.
We watched our MOUTHS around our elders because ALL of our aunts, uncles, grandpas, grandmas, AND our parents' best friends were all extensions of our PARENTS and you didn't want them telling your parents if you misbehaved! Or they would give you something to cry about.
We respected the Police, Firemen, Ambulance workers, Doctors and Nurses.
We never answered back..... ever !!
Wooden spoons, plastic spoons, hairbrushes, jug cords and feather dusters were the cane of choice and we got detention at school for not doing homework, being late to class or being naughty.
These were the good days. So many kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid 😁 I loved my childhood and all the Friends I hung around with. Good Times and such happy memories❣️🤓😘
Copy and paste if you were in this Generation.
