Hey young punks,
I believe this mail is NOT for we whom you considered OLD enuf pple, but
for you young punks too, to know how simple our lifestyle was when we were
around your age!
this mail is for those old enuf ppl out there. if u read this while
nodding
ur head away and smiling then u r those old enuf ppl to understand.
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.
Children today watch "Who wants to be a millionaire?"
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 know what SBC stands for.
4. You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.
5. You watch a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about
Schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.
6. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary
school. BUT these friends also have to act cool when our bags are inspected
by teachers and discipline master, cuz pagers and HP are STRICTLY BAN in
school. Same for Discman
7. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. 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 forTIBS buses.The conductor will check for
tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket. Alamak,
that's during my parents dating time lah, we have non-aircon bus but
OMO(One-man-operation).
8. Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day
9. You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the
little vampire and Acai the constable.
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. Comparing this to the recent NEL that only see the whole stretch

14. You longed to buy tibits called Kaka(20 cents 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.
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.
18. The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST
EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the
hokkien relative.
19. 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.

court.
25. Teng-teng, batu lesung, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all
the rage with the girls and boys too...

important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most
important fish.
