Wow, this brings back memories.
I lived at 1 Vale Temple Road, with a Kampong and one end of the street and a old mine up the other end. Jeez, from launching rockets out of coke bottles into the kampongs and driving the old mine trucks - it was the time of my life. I still remember rotah's and muttabah's (cant remember the spelling of either) like yesterday. My dad wiring the steel bin outside the house with power directly from mains, which sent the feral cats higher than the 2 storey roof of the house. Having a Amah to help around the house, running up Penang hill and even remember launching paper aeroplane from building balconies during a paperplane flying contest. I do miss the rambatams (again spelling has got me!).
All these memories flooding back now...
