Our Childhood Memory In 80’s Malaysia by uncle chan

Nowadays, what game children play? Definitely are computer games, PS3, PSP, mobile phone and more which these advanced electronic devices are not available at our childhood. Since technology advanced pretty fast, few of these games or foods are rare to see now, I’m sure all these will make you recall back to your childhood, those good old days..

No one will know what is the feeling when seeing these pictures but only those are born in 80’s Malaysia (may other countries as well) will understand exactly how much we miss these..

Image
I still remember I had a collection of these countries rubber, most of these were my winning prize from my friends.

Lot of functions in one pencil box, I really like it in my primary school.

What we watch when we children, most of these is Transformer ,ThunderCat, Popeye, Doraemon (Doraemon still available on most of the TV channels), He-man, Ninja Turtles, Tom and Jerry and Les Schtroumpfs. Some of these we play the game by using NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) at home.

Power Ranger 1st generation, a long life TV shows.

I believe most of us watch DragonBall’s comic and anime before, and this story had converted to movie which in theatre on 2009.

Hmm …. this biscuit probably is a material most used for worship (拜神) in Chinese cultural rather than eat.

I not sure what are these but it remind me ‘Ice pop’ with many flavour which cost $0.10 – $0.20 per piece.

Hi,
I am a Creative Writing student currently doing my project on childhood memories of Malaysia. I did a search and came across your blog. I am just wondering if I can use this post as part of my project?
