If you are Msia's 80s babyjust like me, and this might be ur childhood, still remember we grew up watching Transformers, Thundercats, Alvin and the Chipmunks (the cartoon version, not the movie 1) , Mickey Mouse, The Mask, Ninja Turtles (i was a big fan of it) , Voltron, Baja Hitam, Popeye, Ultraman n not forgettin SAILORMOON, POWER RANGERS (i get interest in wushu becoz of power ranger, don laugh, its true) n BUGS BUNNY!!! and etc. in primary school we had to brush our teeths during recess time, had to hold plastic cups, line up with your classmates side by side and start brushing our teeths at some open area... or maybe near some drain?? and u must bring it or else u will get scolded by the teacher. do you still remember that we had 'dentist' rooms where we had to have our teeth check? not to forget our 'program minum susu" in primary school.. everybody is suppose to buy like cartons of milk that costed 30 cents.. and you would see everyone drinking it everyday...its d UHT milk... the teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us on our palms?? 1 metre length.. that a bowl of mihun soup or some soup only costed 50 cents at the school canteen...and the coca cola was filled in plastic bag, and we went to some sundry shop near the school or to the 'roti' man waiting outside our schools so that we can buy junk food like chickedees, mamee, ding dang with some toys in it, 'Ti Kam', ice-cream and we would play games like monopoly, uno, old maid, and all other card games like that... another fun time would be during Pendidikan Jasmani. the boys would play basketball while the girls would play netball... and we have to rush down to the ping pong court to reserve the table just few minutes b4 the recess time... but of course. the best would be main guli, 'Pepsi Cola one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main kejar-kejar duduk,getah... and for the not so active, those kind of 'book games' where we would use buku latihan to draw and ask our friends to play... and eraser whistling, i still remember i won a lot, do you remember the ice-cream tubes which are actually ice and colouring that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the colourful ones.. where you usually bite off the top to glup it down.orange taste s b best..(pop-ice) what about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papers so small to make 'lastik' amd shoot each other... how about throwing chalks?? back then, micheal jackson was just turning white.. and still had albums coming out.. compared to CD's, we were listening to tapes and cassette that sold for RM9.90, and we just start have computer class, and we were still using black and white computer monitors.. played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA or NINTENDO.. well, are we all getting older or what?
1) if you understand what you have read and you are smiling...
2) we have friends from school that are already married...
3) we shake our heads everytime we see high school students fussing about their handphones in school..
4) we don't hang on phone with our friends for hours a day talking about nothing...
5) when we meet back with our friends from time to time, we feel excited and happy talking about old times, the funny 'adventures' or stories that we experienced as a kid..
6) last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the happy & sad memories that you have experienced when you were still a kid and would think of forwarding this to your old friends that you have known since forever... i'm sure they would have a huge smile on their face after reading this.....
