Changi Funland

Changi Funland was a small arcade located at the Changi cinema which only shows Bollywood movies. The whole building is situated at the where Bedok Point is now. Changi cinema was my hangout place. There is a macdonalds just beside the funland and back then, 1 mac ice-cream cone cost only $0.25. ($0.70 now) Then we have Rover, a place to play pool and billard and Sumo House. A really cheap restaurant serving Japanese food.

In Changi Funland - the arcade, I met Peiyan (py) and Jaz. I cannot remember how I ended up talking to them but yea, we became friends. We hang out all the time and this mean, ah lian style girl, Xiuzhen (xz), who is a year older than us will always come over to py and disturb her. She will call py names like 'Kok Tau' because py has high forehead. It's not really noticable but she just so happen to let this girl found out and hence, the name. Somehow, xz and us became really good friends and hung out together. But it was a few years later.

At that point of time, py is a very pretty girl. She often gets the boys attention. Jaz and I were like the sidekick of her. Back then, Jaz was plum, short hair, and wore specs. I am a tomboy who dresses like my older brother. 3/4 baggy jeans, oversized tshirt, long center parting hair and wore specs, which obviously is not attractive at all. But then, I thought of nothing to attract boys. All I want was to be cool. Like my bro, who has lots of friends. What I didn't realize back then was that I already had those. I just have not been aware yet.
