We grew up watching Transformers,Thundercats, Woody Woodpecker, BugsBunny, Mickey Mouse, Captain Planet,Barney and Friends, Ninja Turtles,Gummie Bears, Baja Hitam, Ultraman.
Remember we had to brush our teeth during recess in primary school? We had to hold plastic cups, line up with classmates side by side and start brushing our teeth at an open area...Or maybe near a drain. Then, therewere nurses who would teach us the correct way to brush our teeth.
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. Everyone was suppose to buy cartons of milk that cost 30 cents each... And you would see everyone drinking it everyday.Don't forget VITAGEN! We went crazy for that!
The teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us on our palms... Or pinch our stomach.A bowl of mihun soup only cost 50cents at the school canteen...We went to a sundry shop near the school or to the "roti" man waiting outside our schools so that we can buy junk food like chickadees, mamee, dingdang with some toys in it, 'Ti Kam'and ice-cream.
We would play gameslike Monopoly, Uno, Old maid, Snap,Happy family and other card games like that.Another fun time would be during Pendidikan Jasmani. The boys would play football while the girls would play netball... And it would be like we were playing in the world cup!
But, of course... The best would be playing marbles, "batu seremban",bottlecaps, ice-cream sticks, PepsiCola, Cops and Robbers, "kejar-kejar".For the not so active, therewere "book games" where we would use our exercise books to draw and ask our friends to play.
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 gulp it down? What about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papers so small to make "lastik" and 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 cassettes that sold for RM9.90 each!
In computer classes, we were still using black and white computer monitors. We 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 didn't hang on the phone withour 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 kids...
6) Last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the happy and sad memories that you have experienced when you were 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.
