三月十八日二零零七年 之 往事只能回味

You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget Ninja Turtles, Care bears, My Little Pony and Smurfs too...

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.

You know what SBC stands for.

You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class.

You watch a very popular Malay dubbed Japanese drama on RTM1 about schoolgirls who possess powerful skills in volleyball called Meoro Attack.

You find your friends with pagers and handphones cool in Secondary school.

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 "BEEP!" when pressed...

Bus fares barely reached 50 cents.

There are colourful tickets for TIBS buses. The conductor will check for tickets by using a machine which punches a hole in the ticket.

Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.

You've probably read Young Generation magazine. You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

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 catch the scenery.

Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50. (if we did watch movies then.)

Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.

You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street .

You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang / Tora (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.

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 are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read. Even Sweet Valley High, Malory Towers. And R.S.Stine and Goosebump series were probably the scariest story you ever read.

KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and lets you use metal forks and knives.

The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'... you just couldn't bring yourself to say the Hokkien relative.

Catching was the IN thing and twist as the magic word.

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

There was once the craze over Tamiya cars and toy dispensers where you had to slot in a coin and twist the knob, while your other hand anticipated the toy to appear. 20 cents for colourful rubber balls and 50 cents / 1 dollar for toys in plastic egg shells.

The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you maths.

Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go.

Boys loved to play soccer with small plastic balls in the basketball court.

Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too.

Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.

Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, eternalized in our minds from the textbooks. Even Mr Wally & Mr. Yakki. What abt Miss Lala??? And Zaki and Tini in Malay Textbooks?

We carry out experiments of our own to get yourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.

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'.

In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.

We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.

Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.

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.

School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.

There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.

Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.

You see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.

You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.

Boys like to catch fighting spiders. Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.

Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Birds fly high, hard to catch. Friend like you, hard to forget".

Class monitors and prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"

There were at least 40 people in one class.

Large, colourful schoolbags were carried.

You brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable.

三月一日二零零七年 之 Office Happening

Just happened to go up to my 3rd floor NOC to get something and had a little chit chat with my helpdesk.

Somehow as we chatted, we ended up talking about the NOC being haunted . She claimed that past few nights she heard someone banging her cup on the table, or someone opened and closed the drawer loudly. At that point of time, I was telling her that she might heard wrongly, but for 4 ears to be hearing the same thing at the same time, the chances is quite low ~_~.

When I was about to leave the NOC, we suddenly heard dragging of thing inside the aircon control room and there's no one beside the 3 of us up there. My helpdesk then show me the face with the smile, there's your wrong hearing. Now there's 6 ears hearing the wrong thing -.-

Quickly got my a$$ out of the 3rd floor NOC and went back to my 1st floor NOC, but to remember that I am all alone in here :(. Maybe should have stayed up there longer. Hehe, anyway luckily it was a peaceful night.

=op pool almost got kicked out of cup if there's another goal from barca. Summarizing the night of CL's game, The 4 teams that went through to the quarter final are Liverpool, Roma, Valencia and Chelsea. 2 out of 4 england teams went through. How will the fate of the remaining 2 england team turn out tonight. Stay tune. In another 23 hours we will know ^_^. Manure should be securing their seat as the 3rd of the 4th england team to proceed, leaving Arsenal who's trailing by 1 goal in the 1st leg.
