For those born in the 70s and 80s

Saw this list on a sister's blog:

1. You grew up watching He-man, Sheila, Thundercat, MASK, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, Smurfs, Carebears, Captain Planet etc etc. And of course, not forgetting, Night Rider, MacGyver, Airwolf etc. For those born later than that, too bad they missed this Golden Age. MacGyver was and is still THE BEST!

2. 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.

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

(YA: In fact, if you know what RTM1 is... haha, it doesn't matter what show you watched - you're still a child of the EIGHTIES!!! muahahaha)

4. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50. And kacang putih rocks!

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.

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. And of course, not forgetting Sweet Valley Twins, Fear Street etc. The Three Investigators was my favourite then.

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

(Ooh that brings back so many memories... NESPE and Nimmy, anyone remember them? ;))

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

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

10. We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.

11. The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.

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

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

14. Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.

15. Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Roses are red, violets are blue. Sugar is sweet but not as sweet as you".

16. There were at least 40 people in one class.

17. Large, colourful schoolbags were carried.

18. Everyone was talking about the most admirable 'xiao hua' and 'xiao chao'.

19. Worst day of the week is the day you were assigned to do the duty roster.

20. You received a packet of tit-bits every Children's Day.

21. You'll make Happy Teacher's Day card for your favourite teacher every Teacher's Day.

My addition:
22. You get this kind of list and - *gasp* - you can actually identify with every one of these! :P
