Pager? Now got money also hard to buy.. Priceless..

 

Not hard to find one...Just that you can't get it to work since telcom don't support the network anymore.. May be can buy one...make it sound in a bus or MRT ride...and return call shouting '''HALLOOO.........si mi lang ka pager huh?''.....I think everyone in the bus or MRT will be shock...hahaha [laugh]

Interesting read but movie tickets were also much cheaper then :)

 

yeah last time GV tickets $7 all week long. There was a GV at Eastpoint which offered $3 movies being replayed.

Ministers and MPs were cheaper back then [:p]

 

Not to mention more competent [laugh]

Remembered the first Ericsson hp came out, cost more than 1K. Back they have yet to merge with Sony.

Toy cars also cheaper last time too. Last time those Hot Wheels/Matchbox/Tomica cars about $3 each, and the bigger 1:18 models around $30-$40 max.

 

Now like double the price. :o
