Most of my friends go to nursery school but I skipped nursery school but it's not compulsory. 
 

 Question 2:During that time,what do you play with? 
Ans: During my time there is an electonic things like hand held game but are not common...even internet didn't exist at that time so my and my friends will play inside the canal, climb on roof top because I used to leave at shop house and climb up there.
 

 At that time  in the playground there is sand and there is this equipment called 'mary go round'. That equipment was big and fast. I still remember there was one time I got flung out of it as it was very fast and even the slide was very tall. This is all located in Toa payoh.
 

 So at that time during school days I would just bring 50¢ coin or 2 50¢ coins as there is no such thing as $1 coin and at that time people commonly use handkerchief to put their money.
 

 During primary school, after recess all of us will line up at the drain and squad and they will provide us mug and toothbrush for us to brush our teeth. 
 

 Our vehicles at that time, there's no air-con. So when they want to turn right and left they have to give hand signal but now they will wind up windows, use air-con and use the traffic lights to guide them.

During that time, my auntie and the other students would squat down near the drain in a line and start brushing their teeths. They will provide them toothbrush and toothpaste. This is what they would do after recess.
