random indulgence in nostalgia
if you're a guy in your early twenties with a lingering nostalgia for the times when TCS/SBC wuxia dramas were so much better, then you're probably gonna love this.
I present to you that elusive theme song from that classic channel 8 serial 最后一个大侠 which recedes in the deepest recesses of the minds of every singaporean boy who grew up in the early nineties. That is the absolute coolest SBC/TCS theme song EVER. (you'll probably have to wait for a while for the music to stream)
In memory of those less complicated times, where playtime with friends simply meant exercising one's imagination playing out roles from each wuxia serial and bashing each other up instead of playing multi-player RPG in front of the computer.
maybe that's why kids these days have so many issues. they'll probably need more positive influence from old school SBC wuxia dramas like 最后一个大侠 which constantly bombarded their predessors with a healthy dosage of unequivocal moral righteousness. 正邪不两立.
i would hate to imagine how this generation of kids who grew up watching cartoons like Cow and Chicken or that stupid 美人鱼 channel 8 show would turn out....
PS: Purple Killer (紫镙刹) has to be the COOLEST villian EVER in the history of singaporean telly-land.

Who doesn't remember a gay guy who can kill people with his purple fingernails? And the woman who the main character liked(not Zoe Tay) seemed hot to me then. But it's so long ago.
oh yah...hmm who was the other female character??
Oh i love this song too! Hahah....wah danz. Remind me of HOW OLD I really am now.
But you are right. Good old shows are still the best. Nowdays the shows and movies really have absolute zero value. What's with all the stoopid cartoons like Barney that bloody purple oversized lizard that don't even teach you great stuff like Electric Company and Sesame Street used to do.
I think I shld start showing my kids porn. At least they will have a healthy sex life. Haha.
WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU MANAGE TO DIG UP THIS GREAT SHIT?!
Oh, and yeah, our generation was all about 正义 and 义气, while today it's all about blingbling and ho's.
laoniang: erm what's the electric company. i guess that's even beyond my time. ok, you are old! hehe
aiya, u dun have to show ur kids porn one they'll find out themselves. besides, that's gonna the the thrill outta the forbidden fruit symdrome. if social progression is anything to go by, considering i watched my first hardcore porn flick @ 11, ur kids' generation will prolly watch porn before their 7th birthay hahaha.
adrian: really nostalgic isn't it? i ripped it off some TCS compilation album i bought last vacation but left lying around without finding out the gem in it.
hell yeah, must have been the hip hop culture that's perpetuating the blingbling/hos infatuation. well at least there's still the Wu-Tang Clan which at least by virtue of their name trying to instill some 正义 in da homies. there's hope for the world yet.
OMG!!!
i watched that too in primary school!!!
oh man... that purple killer is way too evil la...
chou chu meng is better...
