Those old memories ya...those dayssssssss...

Here you go, do you still remember, all my dear friends...

G-Force, He-man, Transformers, Thundercats, Silver Hawk, Woody Woodpecker, Chipmunks, Popeye and Mickey Mouse.

Gals watched Japanese cartoon like My Little Pony, "Xiao Tian Tian", "Hua Xian Zi" etc.
Not to forget Ninja Turtles, Mask, Smurfs, Care Bear and Voltron too.

During primary school days, the teacher will punish you using a ruler to hit your palm.
A bowl of noodles soup cost only 30cent in primary school days.
Girls like to go to the bookshop to buy cute stuff such as animal erasers, various shape sharpeners, colourful...

Hankyu Jaya, Yaohan departmental stores used to be a favourite hangout for families during weekends.

In secondary school days, you buy the Bata BM Turbo or Pallas Jazz school shoes.
Some guys like to wear those china made ankle high shoes. Some even like to wear those very thick socks with their school shoes.
Girls altered their school skirt to shorten it and guys will go to the school appointed school uniform tailor shop to tailor make their school trousers to the then fashionable "baggy pants"!

Internet? E-mail? What the hell is that?

CDs? What's that? Cassette tapes were the norm.
Movie tickets used to cost less than RM5 last time.

The goodies from Mama shop used to be Mamee , Kum Kum, UFO, O-Ya, Ding Dang chocolate balls with toys in the box, colourful hard "egg", "cigerette" bubble gum, KIKI Bubble Gum, pink bottle of bubbles c/w a small tubes with yellow sticks to blow "more lasting" bubbles that you can pop more air in or slam it on.

You never forget 'Ti Kam' too.

Your favourite childhood games were playing "gu li"(marbles), five stones, five bottle cover, zero-point, catching, "Pepsi-Cola one two three" or "Police & Sentry"!
The best thirst quencher of all times is the yummy colourful ice tubes you can buy from provision shops for only 10 cent. To eat them, break the tab and suck while holding the freezing tube!

Let's see, the majority of students in universities today were born in 1987 / 88...

For them, they have never heard of the song "We are the World, we are the Children..." And the "Uptown Girl" they know is by 'West Life' but not 'Billy Joel'.

CD exists since they were born. Michael Jackson is already whitened. They believe that Spiderman and Incredible Hulk are just new films. They can never imagine a black and white screen for a computer. They never know what is Atari or 'Game & Watch'. They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and they don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote control. And they never understand how we can go out without a mobile phone when we were in university.

Let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. Most of your secondary school friends are getting married.
3. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computer.
4. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
5. You spend less and less time talking on phone with your friends daily.
6. When you meet your old friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again and again all funny stories you experienced together.

Hahaha!... Yes! We are getting old too...Cheers to all my friends :)
