MOST CELEBRATED SONGS IN THE DORMITORIES OF SMSS (Block A & B) FROM 1978 TO 1982:

First of all, I do not know what music  the girls listened to in Block C. I've never been there ... honest ... really ... I do not know. (Why am I saying this twice?)

Maybe the girls followed regulations and never boomed away with their cassette players.  I don't even know whether they kept cassette players in their dormitories back then.

This is the reason why I confine myself to Blocks A and B only. All right, block D too. But kids rarely go there. There was an apparent age gap between block d inhabitants and the rest. They appeared very "adultish" and looked too serious and boring. Unlike blocks A and B which were joined at every level by a common walk-ways and staircases, bloc d was isolated, on its own. As a consequence, block d was, to the most part of my experience, quite insignificant.

Blocks A and B are a different story. Cassette players aplenty. It was common to hear sounds from the cassette players deafening at full volume as you walk the corridors of these blocs.

Between 1978 and 1982 many great songs have bounced off the walls of these two blocks. I list bellow what I personally feel as the most popular songs in those blocks:

10. All Out Of Love (Air Supply)

9. Widuri (Broery Marantika)

8. Kenangan Lalu (Flybaits)

7. Geram (Black Dog Bone)

6.  Aku Penganggur (Sudirman)

5. Hati Emas (Kembara)

4. Kamelia (Sweet Charity)

3. Apo Nak Dikato (Blues Gang)

2. Rindu Bayangan (Carefree)

1. Hingga Akhir Nanti (Alleycats)

Honourable mention:

Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu (Alleycats), Sejuta Wajah (Sweet Charity), Belaian Jiwa (Carefree), Khayalan, Si Gadis Ayu and Relax (Black Dog Bone).
