Reminising The Past..
I have nothing much to blog but i feel like blogging so here's something for you people to read.....
Those who were born in the late 70s and early 80s would be able to relate to this:
~Our Childhood~
1. We grew up watching He-man, MASK,Transformers, Silver hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfs too.
2. We grew up brushing our teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. We would squat by a drain with all our classmates beside us, and brush our teeth with a coloured mug. The teachers said we must brush each side 10 times too.
3. We know what SBC stands for.
4. We paid 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.
5. We watched a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.
6. We find our friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.
7. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets forTIBS buses.The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.
8. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
9. We probably would have read Young Generation magazine.We know who's Vinny the
little vampire and Acai the constable.
10. We were there when they first introduced MRT here. We went for the first ride with your parents and would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
11. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
12. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
13. We learned to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.
14. We longed to buy tibits called Kaka(20 cents per pack),and Ding Dang(50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changes every week not forgetting the 15 cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring.
15. We watched TV2(also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5
never had enough cartoons for you.
16. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books we ever thought we have read. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.
17. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let us use metal forks and knives.
18. The most vulgar thing we ever said was asshole and idiot.
19. Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.
20. English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
21. CDIS were our bestfriend.
22. The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach us maths.
23. Waterbottles were slinged around our neck and a must everywhere you go.
24. Boys loved to play soccer with small plastic balls in the basketball court.
25. Teng-teng, batu lesung, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too...
26. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important
plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.
27. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks?
28. We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
29. Every Children's day and National day we either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumbfiles with Happy National Day1994'.
30. In Primary six we had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
31. We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
32. Our form teacher taught us maths,science and english.
33. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.
34. We went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and we would find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry our feet, and wear our dry socks and shoes.
35. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.
36. There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
37. It was considered lucky and rich if our parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.
38. We saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
39. We freak out when the teacher tells us to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.
40. Boys like to catch fighting spiders.
41. Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys and some girls too.
42. Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Bird fly high, hard to catch.Friend like you, hard to forget".
43. Class monitors and prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
44. There were at least 40 people in one class.
45. Large, colourful schoolbags were carried.
50. We brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable and we didn't have lockers.
Did it bring back any memories???
I'm a Cartoon person. Just love cartoons. Tell me what nothing but cartoons on TV for one whole day, I'll be most delighted. But nowadays they are not showing the Classic cartoons much..like...Tom and Jerry Show, Wild Cats, Care Bears....so on....I really miss those cartoons....
