You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.
my fave is mickey mouse! &&& smurfs.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.

You hated or loved the school nurse (she was either pretty or mean).

You know what SBC stands for.
I MISS THE FUCKING BUS. damn nice. luckily my house here still have one or two services that used those old bus.
You paid 40 cents for cartons of Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.

Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type
velcro was the in thing loh. actually i wanted to buy one last year. but seetoh & mark dont let me. *pout*
It was cool to have pagers in primary school.
confirm! i used to gei siao and bring my mum one to school. then she found out and smack my ass fer "stealing" her pager.
SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion were red. The big red bell gave a loud BEEP! when pressed.
There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them.
i used to love the bus conductor. super duper excited to see them. but now, i find them irritating cos they always make me wake up when i doze off in buses.
Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
ya la! i will bring the envelopes to ah ma hse and ask them help me. LOL. but when i go into sec sch, they dont do this fer pri sch already. cos i nv see my bro bring home any.
You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

You know what PETS are and the hidden animals in all the text pages. You hated penmanship.
OMFG. the english textbook! i always look forward to read it lah. (believe it or not but i am a bookworm in the past)
Writing lines and caning hands were common, esp if you failed chinese spelling (caning was actually allowed. no shit).
i usually write my lines in the middle of the night cos i dont wanna let my mum know. hahahahah.
Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
confirm! i have tons of barbie dolls at home last time.
You bought tidbits called beebee (20 cents per pack, 10 cents in MGS), and mamee (30 cents), that had a different sticker in it every time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAS FUCKING TRUE. i spent most of my allowance buying them.
You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven were probably the thickest story books you thought you would ever read.
my fav is secret seven. WAAAAAAA. I WANNA READ THOSE AGAIN. ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THEM?!
KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and had metal forks and knives. (I dont remember this, anyone?)
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.
or maybe chicken white?
Catching and pepsi-cola was the IN thing, and twist was the
magic word.

Your English workbooks were made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.

You came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just so you could copy someone's homework.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAS. I ALWAYS COPY CHEN XUELING'S HMW LAH.
CDIS was your best friend.
The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellized characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you math.
Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went.

Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the basketball court.
Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.

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.
hahahahas. i wonder if they still learn that now?!
Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, immortalized in our minds from school textbooks.
always the same name. in textbook and exam paper. ''ahmad has 173 marbles. ali took away 56. and john give him 34. how many marbles will ahmad left?'' LOL
We conducted experiments of our own to get badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.

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'.
hahahahahas. i got all sort of nonsense. but usually is those plastic files. which i doubt anyone will be using them now.and the files usually come in red, green and blue. then eng cher will say red is fer eng. then blue fer math. etcetc
You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
hahahahas. my pri 4 teacher is a strict lady. she was the one who made me & chen xueling master the art of walking damn fast. our class is always the first class to reach classroom.
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 your dry and warm socks and shoes.
HAHAHAHAHAHAS. chen xueling always do this. and i will sit with her until she finish changing. my mom dont bother. zzzz.
There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).
Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $2 or more for pocket money everyday.

You saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.

Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
hahahahas. and girls collect stickers and go school. '' ay, i excahnge with u lah. this one with that one.''

Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
HAHAHHAHAS. i am never a class monitor or prefects. and i think i am the ones who always talk in class when teacher not in!
You got booked for muddy shoes in class.
