Having come this far without even knowing it, I just like to look back on the times that was. Back in the days of having fun without all the stressed involved with it. It all began back in the days with my dear Family Friends, Maovin and Rong-Yeei.
1. Back in the days when our parents would have their little karaoke sessions, and us kids would dread the living hell out of it (who would have known that we would come to love it so much). Us kids would be sitting in the back enjoying our games. First it started out with the "Good Boy". The little cheap Malaysian imitation of the Nintendo. Mind you, you could enjoy all the games of Nintendo for a cheap cheap price. It created endless fun for us kids, with all the 2D pixelated glory the "Good Boy" offered to us. Soon enough time went by and us kids grew up, to enjoy the evolution to "PlayStation". As the games improved and graphics got better, this fueled the competition Team Jun-Chang, Maovin and Rong-Yeei would have against their older sibling rivalries.
(oh god i actually found a picture of one)
2. When we ever got tired of the "Good Boy" or "PlayStation", or had technical difficulties, us kids still found a way to entertain our selves. We would create Plays in which we would perform to our parents. There could be the typical game of 13, in which was the biggest craze back in those days. There was the occasional game of monopoly (with altered rules in order to suit out preferences, WOOT FREE PARKING). Then came the little fad we had. The "Vinyl Wrestling". During my time in my first Beechboro house, the kitchen would be covered in vinyl. What we also discovered was that socks are slippery on vinyl. With our creative little minds, every night there was a gathering at my house we would all pull out the socks in our wardrobes and whack em on. From there, we would wrestle it out sumo style to see who is the victor left in the kitchen! Oh this was fun back in the days.
3. When ever the night nearly came to an end, we could always sense it coming. It came in a process of steps we had carefully observed and analysed to create the perfect count down to home time.
-1. When the music was off, and no change in discs were occurring, this left us with at least 20 minutes left. In this time we would be frantically finishing off our games or sneaking in another quick one while the parents would be finishing off there little chatter.
-2. Then came the jingling of the keys. This was warning number two and meant there was 10 to 15 minutes left. The parents would be getting out of their seats and getting ready to leave the house by preparing to rev up their cars.
-3. At the call of the parents voices, this meant 5 minutes was left. We would be packing our games or cards and sadly getting up towards the door. The parents would be having there last minute chatter and hopping in cars. Sadly we would wave goodbye and that concludes the fun night we had.
-4. This step was a special case for Rong-Yeei and I. Leaving Maovin's house, there would a certain set of lights in which we would meet up at before we descend to our respective paths. From here, we would have a last second second bye. This is where we wind down our windows and wave to each, laughing at the fact that we said goodbye earlier. No matter how many times we did, we still got a kick out of it and had a little laugh or chuckle.
Since this blog is getting rather long, I shall conclude it at this. Stay tuned as I will add more in later posts as a part of my trip down memory lane. This has been a fun blog to post, hope you people enjoyed it as much as I have.
