omg. fanciful pencil cases with the metallic clasps. math workbooks that when u used an ink eraser to rub the pages, you'd end up with a hole 90% of the time. we weren't allowed to use correction fluid or water based ink pens. ballpoint only.
for girls, collecting colourful erasers were cool. and specifically, the glow in the dark erasers that came with vitagen.
carrying the milk cartons every wednesday for all the underweight kids in your class.
michael jackson - heal the world
pagers - crazy alpha numeric messages like 43770 and 1 177155 4 paged from public phones during recess.
- there were kids program like "xiao(3) D D", "liang xiao wu cai" - you sang to "do do do do do~~~ qing chun 1 2 3~~ la la la la la~~~ qing chun 1 2 3!" - you watched "Oshin", doubt into mandarin. Japanese sports dramas with their killer moves "tiao yue fa qiu", "V qie qiu", "hui zhuang tu sha qiu" - you watched badly dubbed Brazillian soup, "Nv Nu"(Female Slave) - movie tickets were $2.50 for stall seats and $3.50 for circle seats - u collect stickerbooks. of animals and dinosaurs - Rediffusion anyone?
I remember, i remember! The dubbed programmes Oshin and the Female Slave one. do do do do do ~~~ qing chun 123! And there's xiao fei yu, hong tuo jing, mi li ye. tai yang gong gong qi chuang liao.

i still don't understand why we were tortured that way with all the restrictions. hah those were the days where teachers are almighty.
i remember the milk! I was overweight and i still had them ... the plain flavoured ones were most unpopular.
michael jackson was a darker shade and had curly black hair. he acted in a horror movie too.
numeric messages were quite innovative ... creativity breeds when there's limitations
oh, do you remember a mandarin cartoon of a flying yellow car called "pen pen" too?
Thanks for sharing, you have a good week!
