Day Twenty-one: Things in my head

I remember those days :-

`Before the Internet & text messaging.
`Before Sidekicks & iPods.
`Before MIKE JONES
`Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.
`Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.
`WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL
`When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
`When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
`When we recorded stuff on VCRs(I actually did this)
`When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.
`When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

& way back those days when these are 'awesome' or makes you go all 'excited'


`Tag.
`Get Over Here!!!! means something to you.
`Hide-n-Go Seek in the dark.
`Red Light, Green Light.
`Pen merah Pen biru, you marah I love you.(haha)
`Playing Kickball & Dodgeball even Wallball.
`Hopscotch in kindergaten
`Slip-n-Slides.
`Tree Houses.
`Hula Hoops.
`Reading R.L. Stine's Goose Bumps.
`The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.
`Running through the sprinklers.
`Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.(hehe)
`Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.
`Getting the privilege to sit in the front seat of the car.
`Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It"

& I actually waited hours for:-


`Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's(still doing it)
`Hey Arnold
`Doug
`Rugrats.(my favorite)
`The original Power Rangers

Or what about:


`The Secret Life of Alex Mac.

Who could forget Snick? & Nick @ Nite

Where everyone wanted to be in love after watching
The Wonder Years.

`or nick jr. with face
`gulah gulah island
`little bear
`under the umbrella tree
`the busy world of richard scary!
`the adventures of winnie the pooh
`NINJA TURTLES

...


`Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
`Class field trips.
`When Raya was the most exciting time of year.
`When RM 5 seemed like a million, & another ringgit a miracle.
`When Toys R Us was the best place to be.

Go back to the time when....


`Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
`Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
`'Race issue' meAnt arguing about who ran the fastest.
`Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.
`It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.

`Being old referred to anyone over 20.
`A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
`Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better. :')
`It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
`When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
`When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
`When Lisa Frank was the raddest thing ever.
`When a candy bar at the grocery store was the highlight of your day.
`When coupons collected all year could get you a prize in your class auction.
`When the only thing you cried over was your mom being late to pick you up.
`When stress was addition and subtraction.
`When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over and who's to TP
`When a first kiss only lead to cooties.
`When valentines day meant cards for all.
`When birthdays were a class event.
`When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life. (Yeah, that's still no good)
`Maybe even when your friends didn't break off into different crowds, you were all one group.

Who would of thought I'd miss those years so much?

Haih - that was long
