EVER FIND YOURSELF THINKING ‘THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES’? FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU BELONG TO THE ERA GONE BY.

My Reading Room

01 There will never be chicken rice as good, or as iconic, as the original Swee Kee’s.

02 It’s “discotheque”, not “club”.

03 Whatever Wikipedia is, it’s got nothing on your Encyclopaedia Brittanica.

04 You religiously flip through newspapers and magazines. What’s online can’t be trusted.

05 You still own a small collection of the most expensive pagers, just in case they make a comeback.

06 You write snail mail because it’s just more sincere than e-mail, you know?

07 That LP stash is suddenly an investment portfolio on its own, but there’s no way you’re selling.

My Reading Room

08 Music these days sounds like the death throes of a dial-up modem.

09 You find the complexity of smart TVs repulsive. It’s supposed to be a dumb activity.

10 Shame on kids for thinking Champagne King or Buddy Holly are beverages.

11 There are four Rolodexes on your desk, diligently maintained.

12 The names “Kasbah”, “Neptune” and “Tropicana” still bring a boyish grin to your face.

13 Those parachute pants will always have a place in your wardrobe... and heart.

14 You stopped going to the movies after the Jurong drive-in theatre closed... in 1985.
