One of the Feedback anchors in this clip is my late sister, Ratna Lachman, whom I remember enjoyed interviewing these kids and airing their viewpoints.

I remembered viswa sadasivan anchoring later on for talking point.....He always ends it coolly.... " I am viswa sadasivan and this has been a talking point"... Enjoyed watching feedback too👍👍👍

The last shot is epic. Centrepoint used to ‘dress up’ for Christmas and I remember there was an annual competition for the best decorated shopping mall in Orchard Road. The malls spent more back then in decoration during Christmas and they look much better than now. The 80s and early 90s were wonderful times. People were more relaxed and happy back then.

I'm still a CP Kid at heart. I will never feel or grow old. I still listen to my favourite 80s music and in this era, techno music is my jam! I noticed some familiar faces in the video. Wishing all the CP Kids the best of life 💪

Our standard of english better in the 80s!! gosh miss those days

I wanted to say the exact thing .... Apparently our accent got stronger as time went by.

It's part and parcel of growing up. And now they are daddy and mommy. My time was even earlier. The peninsula capitol theater hippie's back in the 70s. Really miss those days

There was this narrow lane behind capitol building with hawker stalls..

Those were the days with no internet, no smartphone and not even neighborhood malls. Very limited place and nothing much to do so youths just meet up in Orchard. Even my teenage time in 2005 a lot of youths were hanging out in Far East Plaza or Peninsula. Many kind of style. The rocker/scene, indie kids, punk, skinhead, rudeboys or just plain bengs/mats. I even remember came across expat girls dressed in goth dress. But by the time 2008 I realized the music scene kids were pretty much gone. Maybe we just grew up from that youth phase and moved on. I really miss those days where you could see random kids dressing up

I was an expat very recently, from 2017 to 2021. Lived my latest teen years there and there are goth expat girls everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. The expat party scene is very much alive. Places like Holland Village and around the Clarq and Boatq area.

OMG! I remember those days especially just behind Centrepoint was where many gangs hung out at Cuppage Center. That place was so notorious. Sigh! How times had passed.

Yes FIRE disco. I remember there was this thing that will come down in the middle of the dance floor and they used to play Moni Moni by Billy Idol right?

Can imagine how conservative the generation before this Centerpoint kids was. Just hanging out together = “Doing bad things”? 😅

2nd Chance fashion outlet in Tanjong Katong was pretty popular back then to get the shirts which they tucked out 'rebelliously'

dont forget it was a time of video game arcades.. many youths hangout in arcades

We missed the good old days.

Centrepoint's kids, how times fly!

Why don't you find everyone in the video and do a reunion episode of sorts.

those were the days.

0:10 last time I always told myself one day I will try to figure out how the bus fare of this bus service works. I never really took it as I don't know it's routes and I don't know it's fare system. Looks like it is gone now.

I miss 1980s Singapore. There are too many foreigners here now. Too many foreign students too. No internet and no TikTok and yet these kids were cool and creative.

Let's listen to Nu Shooz - I can't wait

Damn as a teenager in this generation, this is VERY DIFFERENT AHAHAHAH

From Far East kid 1981 to CP kid 1983 to 1986 & roller skates kiddo to 1988 were some sweet memories I had even till this day. 🤣

Rare footage but their speeches do not match when you lip read.

their hairstyles do not differ from what kids in california were doing with their hair in the 80s.
