01. You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silverhawks and Visionaries. Not forgetting, Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony and Smurfstoo.
02. 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 colored mug. The teachers said you must brush each side 10 times too.
03. You know what SBC stands for
.04. You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.
05. You watch a popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack and another one called Oshin or those 3pm Chinese drama serials on Ch8 with the likes of Aileen Tan, Zoe Tay & Cherie Lim.
06. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in secondary school.07. SBS buses used to be non-air-conditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEEP! when pressed. There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses. The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.
08. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
09. You've probably read Young Generation magazine(you know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable) or those lame bookworm gang bookz.
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.
11. Movie tickets used to cost a mere $3.50.
12. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
13. Missing Sesame Street or The Electric Company was a mortal sin.
14. You longed to buy tidbits called Kaka, Tora and Ding Dang, that had a toy in it and it changes every week not forgetting the 15cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring. And chewing gum was not banned!
15. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
16. 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.
17. KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives and you get a free pirate plastic hat everytime you ate at Long John Silver.
18. The most vulgar thing you said was idiot or stupid and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.
19. Playing catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.
20. Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
21. CDIS were your bestfriend.
22. The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you maths.
23. Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go.
24. Boys loved to play soccer with coulourful small plastic balls in the basketball court.
25. Teng-teng, batu lesung, hopscotch, hentam bola, five-stone, one-leg and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too.
26. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.
27. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And of course... ... Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks...
28. We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
29. Every Children's Day and National Day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with Happy National Day 1994'.
30. In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
31. We wore Panda, BM2000, BATA or Pallas shoes then moved on to Paichi & US Masters in sec school.
32. Your form teacher taught you maths, science, english, social studies & health education.....oh and sometimes PE too.
33. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.
34. You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear our dry and warm socks and shoes.
35. School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.
36. There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
37. Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.
38. You see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
