Andy 60s Music: Rumble On The Wild Side Of Old Chinatown, Singapore With Ericbronson Wong

Tough guy Mr. Ericbronson Wong.

Mr. Wong wrote a comment in July 2023 for the blog about his younger days wearing leather boots with horseshoes attached to them. More importantly he described those rough and tough days in the 60s when he faced his "enemies" who challenged him... 

He writes in his own stylish and identifiable way. And I just love his name. Like Charles Bronson, he's fierce and muscular. Thank you, Ericbronson for your contribution to this blog.

"Oh Yes Come to think of it those were indeed d trend during those roaring days of d 60s walking on d wild side,, l remember not hard synthetic rubber horseshoes but iron horseshoes banged behind d leather boots n leather shoes making sure it is loud clickety clack sound when U walk pass some people to show them U R some kind of A Rebel,, ha ha ha.

Gangsters in Chinatown Singapore 60s. They identify themselves

using numerals as gang members of groups like 08; 24; 329 .

l realised l attracted more enemies than friends, enemies wanted to make trouble saying that, "U R actsy!" [arrogant] n a showoff to be a tough guy, haters want to challenge U exchanged hostilities; true to say l got into a couple of fights because of that.

Just Like Rumble On D Streets Of Old Chinatown. Those Lorongs [side lanes] in Fierce Geylang,, Terror in Katong and Fist Waving Street Fighters of Jalan Joo Chiat Tiong Bharu, Red Hill [road names] etc. etc. Honestly!

l survived through it all,, thank GOD I am still breathing today. l still remember the days patronizing cobblers in makeshifts stalls, hammering those horseshoes.

🤠😎😃😁🤩😍🤘🤟✌️👍☕☕🍺🍺.

Ericbronson Wong is also a jolly fellow and does creative work like the above.

Andy Young,, Oh Yes Brother Andy Those were d unforgettable days,, Days unlike today,, l could hardly find genuine cobblers under makeshift stalls nowadays,, U find them in air conditioning plazas and big departmental stores instead with very high technology type of machines charging expensive prices getting your shoes mended.

Surely Gone R The Days where U find a truly just n humble Cobblers offering a reasonable price to work on your shoes,, the fee to hammer the iron horseshoes were so cheap the price U pay for a plate of Char Kway Teow [fried noodles] and a bottle of Sinalco with chopped ice. l remember too, for a pair of tea-dancing rugged boots; ha ha ha."

Horseshoes fitted onto the soles of ordinary shoes that created a chinky sound to show style and aggressiveness among teens in the 60s.

😎🤠😃😁🤟✌️👌👍☕☕🍺🍺🍻🍻🍹🍹

Another group of tough guys from Singapore 60's. You know there's going to be a gang fight when you see a pile of jack-knives, a few parangs [Chinese chopping knives], brickbats, long screw-drivers and hammers in the dry monsoon drain near your home at Geylang Road or Chinatown.
