1. 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.
[Yesh! I remembered we had to squat by the drain in eco-garden. & yes, TEN times each side. The dentist will send some student to ur class with a red file to CALL YOUR NAME for dental checks]
2. 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 for TIBS buses.
[Yah, I can vividly recalled. & then if the bus tickets number add up to 21, u can make a wish! haha]
3. You've probably read Young Generation magazine. You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
[haha, I bought every issue!]
4. 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.
[Can't rem if we were the first batch, but boarding the MRT was as happy as making a trip to McDonald's to me at that time, & snatching a seat with a window view was a must!]
5. 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.
[I liked the Ding Dang very much!! and yah, the diamond ring too!]
6. 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.
[Sweet Valley was my fave!! What's was the twin' name??.. Jessica & Elizabeth!! and their bfs was Todd & Aaron! & I was mad abt Goosebumps & Fear Street too!]
7. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives.[Yah Angsana!! Must even pick them up & drawwwwww!]
8. Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Willy.
[haha... I think they are the characters in our Math text]
9. You did stupid exercises like seal crawl and frog jumps.
[I think I enjoyed those when U spilt into grps & grab some beanbags to & fro to see which gp finished first & all sat down]
10. 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'.
[Haha.. yah.]
11. In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
[Yesh! I was perfect, this was a chore]
12. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.
[Yah, they didnt have white papers that time??]
13. 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.
[haha! Exactly! My mum forced me, I thought this was too troublesome. & I used to envy those who had those colourful boots for walking in the rain!]
14. You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.
[Not so much abt freaking out holding hands with boys, but I rem while making our way back from assembly hall to classrm, one hand was holding hands with ur partner, and the other will be placed on ur lips.. the teacher screamed "keep quiet! Fingers on ur lips!]
15. Handkerchiefs were a must for both genders.
[haha.. yesh, I still kept those handkerchiefs today]
16. Collecting notebooks and all kinds of stationery was a popular thing.
[I collected erasers, and those that looked like lipsticks were my fave]
17. Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "ForgetMeNot", and small poems like "Bird fly high, hard to catch. Friend like you, hard to forget".
[Haha.. I think there was still "Roses are red, Violets are blue..." or Math Makes Me Mad]
18. Class monitors and prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
[Muhaha.. when the monitor wrote my name, I'll say "I never talk! She talked to me first one!! --> pinpoint my friend]
