Cheers for the 80's babies...
An old friend forwarded this to me.. very meaningful.. that's what i would like to share...
especially dedicated to the late 70's n early 80's babies...
Spend 5 min and read through the article. i am sure you will give yourselfa smile after reading this :)
For your reading pleasure...some might be true.Hope you will all enjoy reading it. This might bring you back the oldmemory especially during those school days.....
Signs that you are a 80s' baby:
You grew up watching G-Force, He-man, Transformers, Thundercats, SilverHawk, Woody Woodpecker, Chipmunks and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget NinjaTurtles, Mask, Smurfs and Voltron too.
Girls watched Japanese cartoon like My Little Pony, "Xiao Tian Tian", "HuaXian Zi" etc.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in primary school after recesstime.You squatted by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brushedyour teeth with a colo urful mug.Remember the days when the school nurse, comes with a list for the !dentist appointment, the sound of the drilling when your friend has a fillin his tooth.
You remember the packets of milk we get in primary school to encourage usto drink more milk. (It is only cost 30 cent per pack)
In secondary school, girls go to the library to borrow their favouriteromance storybook. In secondary school, girls altered their school skirt to shorten it andguys will go to the school appointed school uniform tailor shopto tailor make their school trousers to the then fashionable "baggy pants"!
During primary school days, the teacher will punish you using a ruler tohit your palm.A bowl of noodles soup cost only 30cent in primary school days.
When you were in primary school, girls like to go to the bookshop to buycute stuff such as animal erasers, various shape sharpeners, colourfulnotebook etc.
Hankyu Jaya, Yaohan departmental stores used to be a favourite hangout forfamilies dur! ing weekends.
In secondary school days, you buy the Bata BM Turbo or Pallas Jazz schoolshoes.Some guys like to wear those china made ankle high shoes.Some even like to wear those very thick socks with their school shoes.
Internet? E-mail? What the hell is that?So you thought a decade or more ago, your friends don't have pagers orhandphones in school.CDs? What's that? Cassette tapes were the norm.
Movie tickets used to costless than $5 last time.
The goodies from Mama shop used to be Chickerdis, Mamee , Kum Kum, UFO,O-Ya, Ding Dang chocolate balls with toys in the box, colourful hard "egg","cigerette" bubble gum, KIKI Bubble Gum, pink bottle of bubbles c/w a smalltubes with yellow sticks to blow "more lasting" bubbles that you can popmore air in or slam it on.
You never forget 'Ti Kam'.When exams are over, the board games (e.g Monopoly, Donkey, TransportationComparison Card) & held ! video games will be all over the class room.
Your favourite sound is the bell!For it's the homemade ice cream man. The cream that tops Haagan Dazs!And the other peddler you love is the old lady who sells juicy Muah Cheeand thick olden syrup rolled in a balloon the tip of a chopstick stick.
Another bell is the recess bell, a time to get away from school work and toeat.
Another time when there is no bell but all guys will anxiously wait forit...The PJ (Pendidikan Jasmani), PE time (time for football)Your favourite childhood games were playing "gu li"(marbles), five stones,five bottle cover, zero-point, catching, "Pepsi-Cola one twothree" and/or "Police & Sentry"!
The best thirst quencher of all times is the yummy colourful ice tubes youcan buy from provision shops for only 10 cent. To eat them, break the taband suck while holding the freezing tube!
All gals have a girl doll/strawberry shortcake/my little pony/pound puppy,while all boys have a soldiers figurine (combat) or a rubberband catapult that shoots folded paper!
Once was the era whereby ice-cream sticks were valueable items, then camethe paper aircrafts, chalk fights.Some boys made their own guns from wood, and used 'Bacali' as the bullets.Some even used matches to shoot and burn kids'lanterns during MoonCakeFestival.
And your favourite holiday was Lunar New Year! New clothes, Ang Pows,shopping, junk food and family outings!
Let's see, the majority of students in universities today were born in 1987/ 88.... They are called "youth".
For them, they have never heard of the song "We are the World, we are theChildren..." And the "Uptown Girl" they know is by 'West Life' but not'Billy Joel'.
For them, there have always been only one Germany and only one Vietnam.AIDS exists since they were born.CD exists since they were born.
Michael Jackson is already whitened.John Travolta is always round in shape and they can't imagine how this fatguy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Spiderman and Incredible Hulk are just new films.
They can never imagine a black and white screen for a computer.They never know what is Atari or 'Game & Watch'.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed and they don'teven know how to switch on a TV without a remote control.
And they never understand how we can go out without a mobile phone when wewere in university...
Let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. Most of your secondary school friends are getting married.
3. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably withcomputer.
4. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
5. You spend less and less time talking on phone with your friends daily.
6. When you meet your old friends from time to time, talking about the goodold days, repeating again and again all funny stories you experiencedtogether.
7. Lastly, having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to someother old friends. You think they will like it too.....Hahaha!.... Yes! We are getting old too...........Brings back old memories huh?Cheers to the 80s babies!!!
