Me grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Mickey
Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.
Me grew up brushing my teeth with a mug in Primary school
during recess time. I squatted by a drain with all my classmates,
brushing together with a coloured mug.
Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant
on every Children’s Day.
I read Young Generation magazine.
I like Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
Me bought tidbits called beebee, and mamee, which came
with a different sticker in it every time.
My English workbooks were made of some damn poor
quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the
basketball court.
Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.
Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most
important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being
the most important fishes.
Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John,
immortalized in my mind from the school textbooks.
I wore BM2000 shoes from Bata to school.
Collecting and battling with erasers was a pastime for boys.
I came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just
so I could copy someone’s homework…Hehe
There were spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
