Oh...I thought you meant the present day now 2014. Yes, during those days in the 80s..rowdy with U.S. Navy Sailors in the white uniform. Not only in Bugis Street but also in the Princep street near selegie house or just opposite the rex cinema now. I used to eat at the old Cameroon Seafood Restaurant and bought the old chung kee curry puffs there. -

There was a coffeeshop at Queen Street where people played the draft game (DUMP in local) 24 hours a day. Those talented and skilled players would actually take this as their monthly income...a gambler so to speak. Is it still there?

It was at the cross junction next to the traffic light...I think is just opposite the former golden landmark building i think. Many taxi drivers played that game too at that coffeeshop. -
