Born before 198O?
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based
paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags – riding in the passenger seat was a treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with Sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends-we went outside and found them.
We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt!
We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law suits.
We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.
We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the Owners
catching us. We walked to friends' homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on Mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of…They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
And you're one of them. Congratulations!
Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good. For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about
us.
This my friends, is surprisingly frightening……and it might put a smile on your face:
The majority of students in universities today were born in
1986……..They are called youth.
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle. For
them, there has always been only one germany and one Vietnam. AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white. To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't Imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five.
They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
Now let's check if we're getting old…
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.
3. Your friends are getting married/already married.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers.
5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.
7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.
8. Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends because you think they will like it too…
Yes, you're getting old!!
old…hmmm? interlude….
tak silap aku benda ni ade kat Netscape-CNN.com nye website
dah lama dah aku bace dulu
(except for the part pass it around,ayat2 lain tu mmg ade mase aku bace 1st time)
although some of it cume kena ngan konteks USA
tp most of it mmg betul kena dgn memori kite
i was born in 81
i still remember West and East Germany
muka aku terkoyak lps jatuh dr pagar tp bapak aku x de nak saman jiran aku,tuan punya pagar
i still remember the A Team,Knight Rider,He-Man,Thundercats dgn Transformers
jgnkan CD,kaset time tu pon aku ternganga tgk
aku still remember iklan Puma yg mamat badan ketak mata hijau bersinar tu
serta iklan Vitagen yg 1st (ade org aerobik ramai2)
berita2 RTM time tu asal outside scene mesti blurry pastu siap ade iringan piano (x salah aku)
RTM at that time masih lambang bulat (sblm gi yg patsegi biru tu)
Santan Berlada aku ingat lagi
Eddie Lawson was the number one motor racer
Michael Jackson was kinda chubby and black (zaman Billie Jean)
pastu kalo rancangan TV tergendala,mesti ade lagu 'Maafkan Kami'
makanan rapu,Kam-Kam,Ding-Dang,Tora,then Cikedis
the first computer i use was the one with MS DOS.
pastu skrin monokrom,pastu ade la kaler skit,pastu org kecoh game VGA
ok itu dah masuk 90's dah (zaman2 MC Hammer,Vanilla Ice)
anyway,sape ingat lg lagu 'Kuala Lumpur' yg vid klipnye tunjuk mamat dr kampung naik bas Selangor warna merah sampai kat Pudu?
pastu sape ingat lg iklan kempen anti dadah dimana karekter utamanya rambut gondrong tak nak makan nasik pastu kluar lepak ngan kawan2nye,pastu mak die menangis?
haaa… lagu 'Kuala Lumpur' tu nostalgic siottt. dulu masa aku start sekola kat KL, start commute ngan public transport (1993) bila jalan jalan kat KL tu time nak balik rumah mesti teringat lagu tu
tah apa apa tah
time tuh Juara Lagu ngan Bintang RTM was the bomb lah…
haah
Juara Lagu ngan Bintang RTM
time tu org tak reti nak main SMS ni
time tu nak kluar tv nyanyi yg betul2 berbakat aje bole masuk bertanding
“Muzik,Muzik,Muzikkkk…”-lagu terawal Muzik-Muzik
although some of it cume kena ngan konteks USA
tp most of it mmg betul kena dgn memori kite
yg ni versi malaysia plak. aku dapat dari buletin board frenster aku. ntah sape penulis asal dia la
Dear all,
I can picture all of u at that time, including
myself. memories……: Mesti tersenyum sorang-soranglah bila baca ni…
Those OLD days!! Wonder if any of these ring a
bell for you…You grew up watching He-man, Transformers, Thundercats, Silver Hawk, Space Cop Gaban, Ultraman, and Mighty Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja Turtles, Mask and Smurfs too. You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in primary school after recess time. You squatted by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brushed your teeth with a colourful mug. Remember the days when the school nurse comes with a list for the dentist appointments, the sound of the drilling when your friend has a fill in his tooth.
You remember the packets of milk (Projeck Susu Segar) and milo we get in primary school to encourage us to drink more milk. And when we had to line up just to get one cup, and some of us would line up again for another cup of cold milo. And remember we use to buy susu sekolah and get stomach-ache the next day. During primary (some KBSR & 3M) school days, the teacher will punish you using a long ruler to hit your palm. A bowl of noodle soup cost only 40c in primary school days.
When you were in primary school, girls like to go to the bookshop to buy cute stuff such as animal erasers, sharpeners, notebook etc. Play with these paper doll… with all the paper clothes.. etc etc
In secondary (some KBSM) school, girls go to the library to borrow their favourite romance storybook. In secondary school, girls altered their school skirt to shorten it and guys will go to the school appointed school uniform tailor shop to tailor make theirschool trousers to the then fashionable “baggy pants” , or the GQ one with all the 'batik' or buckle at the edge of the pocket! the straight cut jeans.. or codroy…
In secondary school days, you buy the Bata BM Turbo school shoes. Some guys like to wear those china made ankle high shoes. Some even like to wear those very thick socks with their school shoes. remember the panda, carefree or warrior shoes..
Internet? E-mail? What the hell is that?
So you thought a decade or more ago. Your friends don't have pagers or handphones in school. CDs? What's that? Cassette tapes were the norm. Movie tickets used to cost less than $5 last time. there is no KLCC.. Pertama or Bukit Bintang the only place we have..
The goodies from Mamak shop used to be Mamee, Ka ka, Kum Kum, Ding Dang choco balls (with toys in the box) + the mat sentul voices as a jingle, colourful hard “egg”, “cigerette” chocolate, pink bottle of bubbles, and small tubes with yellow sticks to blow “more lasting” bubbles that you can pop more air in or slam it on. You never forget 'Ti Kam'. When exams are over, the board games (eg: UNO, Monopoly, CLUEDO) & hand held video games will be all over the class room. Girls will start playing 'batu seremban'. guys with 'tudung botol oren' Your favourite sound is the bell! For it's the homemade ice cream man. The cream that tops Haagan Dazs! The pink colour ice-cream with eyes plus a wide smile. Another bell is the reces bell, a time to get away from school work and to eat. Another time when there is no bell but all guys will anxiously wait for it…The PJ, PE time (time for football!!)
Your favourite childhood games were playing “guli”(marbles), five stones, zero-point, catching, and/or “Pepsi-Cola one two three”! The best thirst quencher of all times is the yummy colourful ice tubes you can buy from provision shops. To eat them, break the tab and suck while holding the freezing tube! All gals had barbie dolls, My Little Pony, pound puppy, Polly Pocket and etc, while all boys had star wars figurines or a rubber band catapult that shoots folded paper or eraser bits. Once was the era whereby ice-cream sticks were valueable items, than came the paper aircrafts, chalk fights.
Everyone envied the class monitor and his assitant, cos they were the ones who came up with the daily duty roster, giving names to teacher on who makes the most noise and who's running around the class. The elite group are the prefects, the one with license to move around, they consider themselves above the law when not many students actually listened to them, and that's when the PK Hem comes in.
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 Latern Festival.. and you also rather to 'ponteng sekolah' juz to watch final episod of Moero Attack .. miss that much.. summersault berkembar…hehehe.. still remember this one..
Cheers to the 70's..80's babies… WE RULE THIS WORLD!
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
memang ini laa yang aku buat..
Aku datang dari desa hanya sebatang kara
Meninggalkan kampung tercinta dan sanak saudara..

Suasana…
Suka….Duka
Ini kisah anaknya 4 org semuanya…bla2 (aku tak ingat la) 😆
Aku paling suka zaman tu masa coklat Ding Dang buat pertandingan koleksi sticker tu. Korang ingat tak koleksi sticker robot world? Time tu tiap kali beli ding dang dlm dia ada set of stickers. Kita kena collect macam2 gambar sticker robot, hero2 super sentai, ultra etc, lps tu tampal dalam buku dia yg ada penerangan tentang robot2 tu. Gambar semua jenis berkualiti tu. Menyesal aku hantar bila dah complete, kalau aku tau diorg tipu aku mesti aku simpan buku sticker tu utk koleksi. 😆
Time tu jugak ler ade Figurine Panini (theme dia Dinasour World, Disney, Thundercat) dan jugak buku sticker cap ayam Silverhawk la, M.A.S.K la, Thundercat la yg jugak menawarkan hadiah yg lebih kurang serupa.
recently akak jumpa chickadees tu masa tengah carik benda nak makan kat 7-Eleven. mmg terkujat. hahaha.. ingatkan mende tu dah pupus..
banyak jugak ek memori korang.. ntah la, sejak dah beranak hari tu, banyak plak yg lost.
tapi, teringat satu insiden pasal email ni, rasanya back to 1995, my english teacher dok havoc cite dia dapat email dari anak dia yg tengah study kat US.. pergh.. time tu, memasing nganga sbb bley dapat surat tak payah letak stamp later2, nak register account kat hotmail pun rasa macam was2.. ye ke benda2 ni free? ada ke benda yg free kat dunia ni? 2-3 kali dok baca rules takut kena bayar.. hehehehe
Panini mmg best!
lagi satu: Kalkitos (yg gores2 transfer gambar tu, macam DecaDry). apsal dah x de ek?
itu jam aku x tau yg kita tak perlu guna SEMUA gambar dlm set tu, so aku blasah gores semua..last2 jadi perspektif dgn scale yg pelik2 😆
gila..Kalkitos…
