We grew up watching Transformers,Thundercats, Woody the 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 at primary school?
we had to hold plastic cups, line up with
your classmates sideby side and start brushing our teeth at some open
area... or maybe near some drain?? and sometimes there will be some
nurses teaching us the correct way to brush our teeth....
do you still remember that we had 'dentist' rooms where
we had to have our tooth check?
Not to forget our 'program minum susu'in primary school.. everybody was
suppose tobuy like cartons of milk that cost 30 cents each..
and you would see everyone
drinking it everyday...and don't forget VITAGEN! we went crazy for
them....And then the teachers who would want to punish us must use
yellow rulers to hit the back of our palms?? or 'cubit' our stomach...hehe
In the canteen a bowl of mihun soup or some soup only cost 50 cents.
After school we would go 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, dingdang with some toys in it.
We would play games like monopoly, uno, old maid,
snap, happyfamily and all other card games like that...
Then 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 main guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps,
ice-cream sticks, 'Pepsi Cola one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main
kejar-kejar duduk.. and for the those who arent so active,
those kind of 'book games'where we would use buku latihan to draw
and ask our friends to play...
Do you remember the ice-cream tubes which are actually ice and
coloring that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the colorful ones..
where you usually bite off
the top to glup it down, and your whole mouth will be full of those colors...
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 tapes that sold for RM9.90...in computer class,
we werestill using black and white computer moniters..
played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA
or NINTENDO...
Well well 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...
Hmm, seriously..i do miss childhood..
dont you?
