It was the period when we were shaping up our ideals, a time we pondered and charged ahead with vigor and energy. Do you have photos of your time in the world at work or at play or in higher education in the 1980's? Have a look inside your bottom drawers and if you find them, like Yoong Ming did, send them in because I think it would be fascinating to see what we were like and what we were doing .....

"With friends outside the Singapore World Trade Centre. We went there for the '81 Audio and Visual Exhibition'. All the exhibitors turned their amplifiers full blast and we all came out with a headache." Ha ha ha....

I joined Hewlett-Packard as a customer engineer in 85, and was sent to their training center in Rockville, Maryland that winter. This is a picture taken with some of my fellow trainees on graduation day. I really enjoyed my stay there, especially the weekend trips to the Washington DC Mall - Wong Sir
I also have some 'aeroplane' pictures. This one was taken in 85 on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid in New York - Wong Sir(Ed: On the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, awesome ATARI!)
