This is taken off from Are you a MALAYSIAN 80’s baby?! group on Facebook. Go get an account if you have not!
Signs to show that you are an 80-s baby:
we grew up watching Transformers, Thundercats, Woody Woodpecker, Chipmunks, Mickey Mouse, Jem, Mask, Ninja Turtles, Voltron, Baja Hitam, Ultraman n not forgettin POWER RANGERS n BUGS BUNNY!!!
had to brush our teeths during recess at primary school? had to hold plastic cups, line up with your classmates side by side and start brushing our teeths at some open area… or maybe near some drain??
do you still remember that we had ‘dentist’ rooms where we had to have our teeths check?
not to forget our ‘program minum susu’ in primary school.. everybody is suppose to buy like cartons of milk that costed 30 cents each.. and you would see everyone drinking it everyday…its d UHT milk…
the teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us on our palms?? 1 metre length.. that a bowl of mihun soup or some soup only costed 50 cents at the school canteen…
went to some sundry shop near the school or to the ‘roti’ man waiting outside our schools so that we can buy junk food like chickedees, mamee, ding dang with some toys in it, ‘Ti Kam’, ice-cream and we would play games like monopoly, uno, old maid, and all other card games like that…
another fun time would be during Pendidikan Jasmani. the boys would play football while the girls would play netball… and it would be like we were playing in the world cup…
but of course. the best would be main guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps, ice-cream sticks, ‘Pepsi Cola one-two-three’, Cops and Robbers, main aci duduk,getah… and for the not so active, those kind of ‘book games’ where we would use buku latihan to draw and ask our friends to play… and also dot (titik) where its like conquering the other party’s dots? we use brains too rite 
do you remember the popsicles (ice-cream tubes) which are actually ice and colouring that are sold for 10 to 20cents.. the colourful ones.. where you usually bite off the top to glup it down.orange tastes b best..
what about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papers so small to make ‘lastik’ amd shoot each other… how about throwing chalks??
back then, micheal jackson was just turning white.. and still had albums coming out.. compared to CD’s, we were listening to casette tapes that sold for RM9.90…
in computer class, we were still using black and white computer moniters.. played ‘Atari’… maybe SEGA or NINTENDO…
well, are we all getting older or what?
1) if you understand what you have read and you are smiling…
2) we have friends from school that are already married…
3) we shake our heads everytime we see high school students fussing about their handphones in school..
4) we don’t hang on phone with our friends for hours a day talking about nothing…
5) when we meet back with our friends from time to time, we feel excited and happy talking about old times, the funny ‘adventures’ or stories that we experienced as a kid..
6) last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the happy & sad memories that you have experienced when you were still a kid and would think of forwarding this to your old friends that you have known since forever… i’m sure they would have a huge smile on their face after reading this…..
we’re all getting old ;P
