The good old days...
1)You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfs too.
2)You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.The teachers said you must brush each side 10 times too.
3)You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.
4)Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
5) You 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.
6)Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.
7)The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.
8)Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow
9)Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go.
10)Boys loved to play soccer with small plastic balls in the basketball court.
11). 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.
12)Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks.
13)We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
14)Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
15)In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
16) We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
17) Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
18) The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.
19) There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
20) You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.
21)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".
22)Class monitors and prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
23)Large, colourful schoolbags were carried.
