reminiscence

http://jeremysng.wordpress.com/2010/05/08/some-things-i-remember-from-the-90s/


i grew up in the 90s too (actually half half. i was still a child when in 2000s. *laughs at all of you old ppl* :P)
but i'm guessing this guy's a little older since i'm unfamiliar with some of the things he mentioned.
either that or my memory has been failing since young.


anyway, it's so nostalgic to read about the things you've done when you're younger.
those awesome memories where life's carefree...the only things you've to worry about are spellings and tests.
don't you just want to relive those days?


i shall try and recall some interesting things in my childhood


Television


1) Teletubbies (when i was 5)

 My kindergarden friends and I would pretend to be them. I was Tinky Winky cos I've always been the biggest-sized.

It wasn't until my primary school days that we found it childish and started making fun of the song. "Stinky Winky, Lipstick, Laksa, Pao...the telephone bills, the telephone bills...say HELLO!"



2) Cardcaptor Sakura

she has a super cute older brother right? and i loved the cute brown flying thingy.

3) Long Mao (idk and cant find the english name)

cannot remember what the story was about...
there was this little girl and the "long mao" will keep jumping or something?

4) Digimon

quote from him: "Most of the kids (me included) would wake up at 9am every Sunday to watch the Digimon show on Channel 8, and it will be the topic of discussion the next day when school started."

i loved the giant cactus thingy the cute girl in pink owned. (didn't know the name...just checked it and it's Togemon)

kept watching even though i didn't really liked the later seasons where the digimons became more and more ugly as they advanced. not cute anymore!
although i rmb i quite liked the period when the humans and digimons have to combine together to fight...they would show a transition when the human would be stripped and i'd be wondering why they do not show their privates.





5) Pokemon

it used to show on kid's central at 11am on either sat/sun...cant remember.
weekends were my favourite cos there were awesome shows on tv!
i would willingly wake up super early on weekends to wait for the shows, a total different scene from weekdays when i've to be pulled awake.
i loved misty's psyduck!
and team rocket's chant!



6) Captain Planet


one of my favourite cartoons! "earth! fire! wind! water! heart!"
loved the girl who controls wind...cos she has long blonde hair!
i'd watch it everyday before going to school.
it was one of the shows that showed on cartoon network which kept my day occupied.



7) Adam's Family
8) Powerpuff Girls
9) Scooby Doo
10) Cow and Chicken 
11) I am weasel
12) Flinestones
13) Tom and Jerry <3 (fav cartoon! watched since i was three or smth)




14) Meteor Garden

kinda out of place right?
but yeah, i watched dramas too.
those channel 8 ones.
but i loved this...can't remember it's showtime.

zai zai and Da S forever!  HAHAHAHAHA.
even though they are not together now.
zai zai was my dream guy or smth LOL.

15) 福满人间 (Wok Of Life)



imho, the best drama tcs has filmed!
if the 9pm shows are of this quality, i'd still be a couch potato, not a desk one.



16) My Genie

starring FIONA XIE! straight guys love her cos of her assets?




 love this sitcom! they are all genies who has numbers as names! uber funny!
and the preceding sitcom was awesome as well! "Don't worry, be happy".
they aired on saturdays 9pm-9.30pm. i would rush my parents home so i can catch it!


wonder where i can rewatch them :X





 
17) Charmed

 MY FAVE DRAMA OMG :D:D

 


and yep, piper was my fav sister cos she had the coolest power! and holy has superb acting skills...she's able to deliver her lines with the perfect tinge of sarcasm!
i was actually addicted to her hand action and would always pretend to freeze if i drop something.
actually i'd do it sometimes now too :X
i've rewatched it 2 times i think.

phoebe has the lamest power. paige was cool too.
formed our very own "power of three" with empty and other friend. i was the oldest and thus piper!
we created "potions" in class when we were bored...
mixing eraser dust, staples, water and whatnots into a highlighter cap and then taping it.
so awesome!
ohoh we casted spells too! HAHAHA. though they never work.
cos there was this once when it was raining and we wanted to play outside...i had borrowed the charmed storybook from the library and there was this spell at the back cover. we replaced some words and kept chanting!

those were the times. :)
