The good old days... I gt this email from eugene! (part 1)Message: For those who are born in the 70s and 80s. Fond memories......
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.
- some of these are still old time favourites and we still see them in departmental stores
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.
- Oh yea. We don't squat by the drain but were brushing our teeth at the basin area at the sides of the canteen.
3. You know what SBC stands for.
4. You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.
- Thy were for the underweight. Hee.
5. You watch a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.
6. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.
- Pri skl was pagers. But hp was very common in Sec skl. I only had my first hp in Sec 3.
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 BEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses.The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole int he ticket.
- Seldom take SBS buses but more of TIBS buses. Now thy have been refurbished and ez-link has replaced those tickets. Bus conductors now carry electronic devices with them.
8. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
- I still remember thy'll give tissue packs as a token of appreciation. And I always donate to them. My teacher said that "even a little contribution as little as 10 cents counts".
9. You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
- Exactly.
10. You were there when they first introduced MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
- Not the mrt but the lrt.
11. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
- Omg, thy used to be so cheap. Going for movies these days is so costly. They should introduce student prices.
12. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
- I still fancy Barbie Dolls but only those collection series. Hee.
13. You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.
- Nahz.
14. 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.
15. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10 cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
- I don't remember that.
16. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Fiveand Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you 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 you use metal forks and knives.
- Oh is that true? I didn't know that.
19. Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.
- I used to play with my neighbours at the playground practically everyday. Now all of us have gone separate routes.
20. Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
take care, peeps ~smiLesSs~
