Remembering Singapore the way it was

Anyone remember the Figurine Panini sticker books?
Like "World of Survival", "Ghostbusters", and even one for the SAF called "Daring Men and Modern Machines".
I still have stacks of the extra stickers lying around...damn waster of money...I still remember the hardest sticker to get for the "World of Survival" book as the damn Eastern Rosetta parrot.

The reason why it is hard to find sand in playgrounds is because cats like to bury their feces in them.

its about a futuristic dodge viper car. Used to fight crime or smthing. I know its an american TV series.
I really loved the show cause the car was freaking futuristic, like it had guns coming out from it sides and retractable weapons.
-
ya. and i think this show was like 10-15 years ago. And considered for that time, the viper car already looks like the cars of today. (if i rmber correctly)
-
10 -15 years ago .Ok thanks no wonder my head registered a blank
