....
Ohno Ohno Ohno, sch is starting soon and im starting to have butterflies in my stomach. I have not held a pen to write out sensible words for a long time, I have not punched a calculator for a long time, I have not done any filing for a long time, I have not printed notes for a long time T.T
How to survive like tt...T.T
Anyway, while thinking of those crap above to scare myself silly, i thought of my younger days. Those who were born 1 or 2 yrs before or after my yr should be quite familiar with most of the below points:
1) You grew up watching MASK, Transformers, Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, My Little Pony, Smurfs, Care bear, Barney!! and GO GO POWER RANGER!!
2) Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type
3) There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them
4) Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
5) You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable
6) You know what PETS are and the hidden animals in all the text pages. You hated penmanship.
7) Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
8) You bought the mamee tidbits and wang wang biscuits which have stickers in them. Plus the different types of lolipop which looks like ring and lipstick...
9) Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five, Sweet Valley, Enid Blyton and Secret Seven were probably the thickest story books you thought you would ever read
10) The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'chicken pie'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien translation.
11) Catching and pepsi-cola was the IN thing, and twist was the magic word
12) Your English workbooks were made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
13) CDIS was your best friend.
14) The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellized characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you math.
15) Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went
16) Boys loved to play soccer with soft drinks bottles or tennis balls in the basketball court.
17) Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fishes.
18) Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, immortalized in our minds from school textbooks.
19) We conducted experiments of our own to get badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc
20) Every Children's day and National day you either got pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or useless plastic files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
21) You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
22) Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
23) There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).
24) Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $2 or more for pocket money everyday.
25) Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.
26) The strongest country was determined by how long we are able to spin the country eraser and how well we are able to flick it.
27) Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
28) There were at least 40 people in one class.
29) You brought every single book to school, even though there was a timetable
