If you were born in the late 70s, early 80s in Singapore..

You would remember:

You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.

You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug and you were given PINK tablets to see if you had plague.

You know what SBC stands for.

You paid 40 cents for cartons of Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.

Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type

It was cool to have pagers in secondary/pri school though they were banned.

SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushionwere red. The big red bell gave a loud BEEP! when pressed.

There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them.

Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.

You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.

You were there when they first introduced the MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.

Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.

Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.

You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.

You bought tidbits called ka ka or toro and there was also Hiro Cream Cake (for 30 cents)

You could buy the ice cream that was put in plastic cups or bread from the street for 40cents and 50 cents would be a huge portion. $1 worth of ice cream was a rare buy

You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.

Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Famous Five and Secret Seven were the most popular books in school.

Catching and "pepsi-cola" was the IN thing, and "twist" was the magic word.

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

You came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just so you could copy someone's homework.

CDIS was your best friend.

The most well known computer program you knew was "Print Shop" and you made greeting cards, printed in black and white that you had to fold to form 4 sections.

Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went.

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 our minds from school textbooks.  Also, Ms Lala and her "catty" glasses!

Every Children's day and National day you either got pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or useless plastic files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.

You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.

Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English..

There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).

You would normally spend 40cents - 50 cents for a bowl of noodles in school. buying an item for $1 at the bookstore was really really expensive.

Going to McDonald's was a treat during primary school days.

You saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.

The most popular pencil cases were those with buttons and would "shoot out" the different compartments.

Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.

Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.

Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"

You got booked for muddy shoes in class. You would also use chalk from the black board to
"color" your white shoes that were dirty.

There were at least 40 people in one class.

You brought every single book to school, even though there was a timetable.

Umbro school bags were extremely popular
