I MISS PRIMARY SCHOOL !
The Good old DaysGrew up watching Power Rangers, Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles.Used to brush teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. And would squat by the drain with classmates beside, and brush with a colourful plastic toothbrush. The teachers would also constantly remind to brush each side 10 times.SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The big red bell gives a loud BEEP! when pressed.Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.There was the Young Generation magazine.Tibits called the ring pop, where the lollipop is the huge diamond on the ring.The most vulgar thing said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'. Its just difficult to say the hokkien relative.Catching was the IN thing.There were 'PETS' textbooks that had these cute animal mascots on the front cover.The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach maths.Waterbottles were slinged around the neck with colourful straps and a must everywhere.Science was fun with the hydrilla and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.Who can forget Ali, Bala, John and Mary, forever eternalized in our minds from the textbooks and worksheets.Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or 'Happy National Day 1994'.In Primary six we had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.Form teachers taught us Maths, Science and English.The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality.School dismissal time was normally around 1 pm.There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.Friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.We see Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.We 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 "Bird 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.We brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable.:D
