Title: Things you do when you're young...
1. You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a drain or in the toilet 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.
2. Internet? What is that? So you thought a decade or more ago.
3. You find your friends with pagers or the big sized handphone cool in Primary/Secondary school.
4. You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
5. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
6. Gals are fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
7. 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.
8. 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 SweetValley High and Malory Towers.
