Also, there was a common wooden shack toilets (male/female). These essential facilities were shared thus creating a close knit people who helped each other in times of needs. Of course, we also knew each other very well as we lived in an open society back then.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108630126700411599.post-48768381623681676282012-02-18T00:23:43.474+08:002012-02-18T00:23:43.474+08:00In the old kampong days, the annual temple celebra...In the old kampong days, the annual temple celebration was a major affair. For us kids, it was a time when we could catch the wayang show and lap up the foods offered at the food stalls, like Cheng Tng, Ngo Hiang, and Bird nest's drink. <br /><br />Then we allowed ourselves to be frightened by the actions of the temple mediums as they worked themselves into a state of trance.<br /><br />The advent of TV and the Getai effectively dimmed the popularity of the wayang. <br /><br />When I grew up appreciating the arts, I realised how beautiful the traditional opera was, especially when it was performed at the highest professional level. Thanks to the Internet, it is so easy to go to Youtube and search for all kinds of opera clips.limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443241887721915102noreply@blogger.com
