To continue my earlier series of scary pix, now this one is numero uno. Found between dusty cardboard covers -- a picture taken by then Singapore-Broadcasting Corporation one-hit wonder, "Smart Squares". We went live on TV, me Kok Peng, and Joe-Ern (far left), answering tough questions like "Where's the Brandenburg Gate?" and "Who's the President of Uzbekistan?" We did so well that when we made it to the finals to meet Chinese High and St Andrew's School, they changed the rules because we were pressing the buzzer even before the questions were finished. We came in 3rd, much to the disappointment of our teachers, who were forcing endless volumes NewsWeek and the Economist down our throat while we were preparing for our 'O' levels. Fond memories. Kok Peng is now a lawyer as Drew and Napier, while Jo Ern is a lawyer somewhere in the US (after completing Princeton and Yale Law School). Strange how things worked out. And yes, and then there's me, with my big owl glasses. Scary.
