Bought from Yaohan? :huh:

 

Wow! Yaohan. I remember the one at Hotel Seaview, which became an IKEA then a Cold Storage I think. Can't for the life of me remember what's it now. Parkway started off with Yaohan as the first shop to open.

 

Here's another extinct one from the 80s in the spirit of CNY

Right. I should've guessed. Now almost all the land in that area has been converted to condos.

 

How can we forget this:

 

Brick Game? Thought that was pretty recent? In the 80s, it was Game & Watch!

Ya I remember all these sticker books. Per pack is $0.30 or $0.60?

 

30c per pack with 3 stickers inside if i dun remember wrongly. there will be a few very rare pieces which u can trade.

i remember in school, there will be guys with ALOT of stickers n they will start a "gambling den" with those stickers. the banker will place a few decks of the stickers on the table n the players will put their wager on the decks they feel it will contain the highest number 1 - 255 ( if i dun remember wrongly )

winner will be the one will the highest number, banker will eat the rest and pay the highest

Sounds more like 70s to me. I remember of all the "worlds", there was actually one that was called "Gay World".....

 

I spend most of my childhood in an amusement park in New World where they had a bunch of gaming machines (anyone still remember "Space Invaders") that uses 20 cents coins as token.

 

my fren used 20 cent to play for almost an hour .... he's that good at this game,

Anyone succeeded in blowing the toblerone chocolate like harmonica after watching the commercial? Just a curiosity since childhood, wondering if it's even possible.
