some of the 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.
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. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.
5. There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses. The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.
6. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
7. You've probably read Young Generation magazine. You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
8. 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.
9. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
10. You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20cents 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.
11. 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.
12. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives.
13. Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.
14.The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you maths.
