Pics from my Childhood Days

One of those game consoles which I used to have....


Used to visit the nearby provision store and buy takeaway soft drinks. They'd fill a small plastic bag with ice and then pour the drink from the glass bottle into it.


Bus tickets from yester-era. In those days, buses were operated by 2 persons; the driver and the fellow selling the tickets. Once aboard the bus, the seller will come around and ask you where you are going before whipping out the correctly priced ticket and punched a small hole indicating the fare-stage where you've started the journey. Classic!!


One of those olden days non-air bus with the gigantic gear box right at the entrance, beside the stairs where you climbed aboard.


My school bookshop used to sell these by the loads!! And I'm often there to support them. hahahaha


Anyone remember the cheat code to get 99 "Lives"? Anyone can confirm if its "up up down down left left right right A B START"?


Whoever haven't seen this before, hands up?
"Sunny Day.... Sweepin' the... clouds away...."


One of my favourite cartoon when young, but the movies recently doesn't interest me one bit, weird...


Another one of those hits during my time...


The school textbooks back then were uniform across all schools, even amongst the different levels, the exterior of the books were uniform, albeit with differing contents and colours.


The first TV I ever remember seeing when I was a kid looks something like that. It was a Hitachi and served us well until I was 10 or so.


Another one of those yester-era buses, this time a double-decker.


One of the many snacks to bluff kids' money in those days...


Another one of those snacks, this one is fish crackers I think, but not crispy one, it had those soggy feeling and smells damn fishy!!


One of my favourite games on the Sega console. I can spend endless hours trying to complete it using diferent characters. I particularly loved using Blade, that lady in red, for she is fast and nimble, but abit light on her kicks and punches.


Yet another of those cartoons during my time...


The Courtesy campaign poster.


I've never enjoyed my mandarin lessons, yet I was forced to buy this stupid papers for 20cents weeks after weeks!!


Uncle Scrooge!!


Western Bar!! My favourite handheld back then! Saw this game on the Apple App Store going for US$4.99. I bought it without hesitation!! :)
