Did you know….
….that Alfred Bird invented this product (pictured above) because his wife was allergic to eggs? Since this product has been around for quite a while, has anyone tried this? What does it taste like?

Another Friday mystery
from Ipoh Remembered
Could it be Gopeng Road? Tapah? Batu Gajah? Or…nowhere near Ipoh? You tell us 🙂
Another day, another puzzle
Does this place look familiar? We have no idea where it could be, and we’re hoping someone could tell us. Notice the Esso sign (extreme right). It was probably part of a garage. There’s also the decorated arch.
Somewhere in Ipoh…
Thanks to Ipoh Remembered, we have the above photo to keep you entertained this weekend.
Some of you may have already guessed WHERE this place is. Can you also guess the year?
And just for fun, we’ll let Ipoh Remembered keep tally of your score….. 😉

A Day at the Races
In June 1957, there was the Perak Derby. Here are some photos (from Nick Band) which were taken at the Perak Turf Club. Anyone remember the Perak Derby?
Can you guess?
As stated in the bottom left, this is a postcard of a Chinese Temple. Does it look familiar? Can you guess which temple it is?
No ‘hanky-panky’ here….
“..Besides their intended use, they could be used for cleaning equipment, polishing shoes, cleaning hands and face, signalling for attention, as a sweat band, neckerchief, as protection from dust inhalation, to repair footwear, cut out pieces to patch clothes, cut up as emergency firearms cleaning patches, Molotov cocktail wick (fire-bomb), hot cooking utensil holder, a makeshift bandage, tourniquet, or arm sling...” – Wikipedia
Were you one of those ladies/gentlemen who used handkerchiefs? Do you still use them? Is your preferred handkerchief as fancy as the one in the picture (below)?
Sailing the seven seas of rhye…
We’ve heard from the fans of model aeroplanes and model cars. Now we’d like to hear from those who played with model ships. Did you have your own fan club?
A Night at the Cabaret
We were told that this photo was taken at Jubilee Park. Could it be so? You tell us 🙂
In the meanwhile…does anyone know WHO this pretty lady is?
MORE school tales…
Special thanks to SK and Ooi Kean Chye for these photos. On the left is NTPS Pasir Puteh back in 1962, on the right is the same school today (2019).
SK also shared with us: “In the 1962 picture, in between the buildings in the middle was where we took our pictures. On the left of the picture was the School Lavatory, then School Tuck Shop. We used to hang around the Tuck Shop….The school field on the further left had gone & replaced by double storey classes. The Headmaster residents, the Day Teacher’s Centre, The Dental Clinic on the left all gone“.
Back to School!

Students from NTPS Jalan Pasir Puteh are probably grinning at the screen now. As for the former students…has the school changed much over the years? Maybe some of you have old photos of the building back then…do share them with us.
On that note, how many of you remember YOUR first day at school? Was it exciting? Scary? Did it end in tears? Did you make friends with everyone? Or…maybe you preferred to sit in the corner of the classroom with your head down? Do share some of your “First Day at School” stories with us 🙂
Its 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2018’s come and gone within a few blinks of the eye. We may have experienced the good, the bad, and perhaps the ugly in the last 12 months but here we are heading into 2019 leaving 2018 behind.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year from all of us here at IpohWorld.
