Had to brush our teeths during recessat primary school? had to hold plasticcups, line up with your classmates sideby side and start brushing our teethsat some open area... or maybe near somedrain??
Do you still remember that we had dentist' rooms where we had to haveourteeths check? Not to forget our 'program minum susu'in primary school.. everybody is supposeto buy like cartons of milk that costed30 cents.. and you would see everyone drinking it everyday...its d UHT milk...the teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us onour palms?? 1 metre length..that a bowl of mihun soup or some souponly costed 50 cents at the schoolcanteen...
Went to some sundry shop near the school or to the 'roti' man waiting outsideourschools so that we can buy junk foodlike chickedees, mamee, ding dang withsome toys in it, 'Ti Kam', ice-creamandwe would play games like monopoly, uno,old maid, and all other card games like that...
Another fun time would be duringPendidikan Jasmani. the boys wouldplay football while the girls wouldplay netball... and it would be like wewere playing in the world cup...but of course. the best would be main guli, batu seremban, bottle caps, ice-cream sticks, 'Pepsi Cola one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main kejar-kejar duduk, getah... and for the not so active, those kind of 'bookgames' where we would use buku latihanto draw and ask our friends to play...
Do you remember the ice-cream tubes which are actually ice and colouring that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. thecolourful ones.. where you usually biteoff the top to glup it down.orangetastes b best..(pop-ice)
What about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papersso small to make 'lastik' amd shooteach other... how about throwing chalks??
Back then, micheal jackson was just turning white.. and still had albums coming out.. compared to CD's, we werelistening to tapes that sold for RM9.90...
In computer class, we were still usingblack and white computer moniters..played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA orNINTENDO..
well, are we all getting older or what?
1) if you understand what you have readand you are smiling...
2) we have friends from school that arealready married...
3) we shake our heads everytime wesee high school students fussing abouttheir handphones in school..
4) we don't hang on phone with ourfriends for hours a day talking aboutnothing...
5) when we meet back with our friendsfrom time to time, we feel excited andhappy talking about old times, thefunny 'adventures' or stories that weexperienced as a kid..
6) last but not least, that when youread this, you would think of all thehappy & sad memories that you haveexperienced when you were still a kidand would think of forwarding this toyour old friends that you have knownsince forever... i'm sure they wouldhave a huge smile on their face afterreading this.....p.s: if u feel u're one of them whoexperinced this, repost this to shareitwif ur frens... ;)
If you don't remember all this, it's either you went to a very rich high class private school or a very pampered kid by your parents... in other words, you don't have a childhood.

Mannn...! I so felt whatever was written.
I had that childhood.
One game that was not mentioned, i dunno if Penangites played it la, called- Ice and Water. The guy who is 'Ice' runs around freezing ppl, and then they have to stand still,not moving, while the others are all 'Water' and must run around un-freezing their friends and keep from getting frozen... Wahahahah- so much fun!!!
yes yes! played before! i think we called it 'ice man'. It's ridiculous and dumb when you think about it now BUT i'm glad i played it - it's just so funny!!
