How are you still surprised that everybody hates you?! It’s not like we’re hiding it to spare your feelings, you daft ignorant bastard!
The 90’s Generation :)
We are the last generation who learned to play in the streets, played hide and seek, london bridge is falling down, ice and water, block catching, paper plane throw top of HDB Block, blind mice playground. we are the first ones who’ve played video games, and we’re the last ones to record songs off the radio on cassettes.
Adjust antenna to watch TV, ate A&W before it went extinct in Singapore. Watch LD (Laser Disc), share Malaysia channels on TV. Watch channel 5 when it was under TCS. Watched low SFX dramas like old casino channel 8 drama and was in awe! Bring Walkman to School was cool. Tamiya cars.
We learned how to program the VCR before anyone else, play with Gameboy, PlayStation One, Super Nintendo, & Genesis. We also believed that the internet would be a free world.
We are the generation of the DIGIMON, POKEMON, Power Rangers, PowerPuff Girls, Tom and Jerry, Thunder Cat, Ninja turtle, Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow&Chicken, Mian Bao Chao Ren, Sailor Moon, Smurf, Swat Cats, Ghostbusters, Flintstones, Ultraman, Superman, Johnny Quest, Captain Planet. Traveled in cars without seat belts or airbags, lived without mobile phones.
We used public phone with 10 cent coin. We board bus with transitlink card. King Albert Park had a playground. Orchard road was much smaller. We can buy shitloads of stuff with $1. Catch bugs and watch them fight. Had to walk super long under hot sun before reach bus stops. MRT line was seriously limited. Potong ice cream was godlike?
The food in the 90s was the golden age. Now all you see is franchises of novelty items. All the traditional flavour is lost.
Live on an internet connection which would have killed modern nerds due to the long dial time. Phone call will instant kill your internet.
We didn’t have iPhone, iPad, iPods, Macbook, PSP, surround sound, mp3, Facebook or Twitter but nevertheless we had a really GREAT TIME! :)
(Reblog if you’re one of us!)
Did you ever do this, you think back on all the times you’ve had with someone and you just replay it in your head over and over again and you look for those first signs of trouble?

There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.

You don’t understand. I’ve spent years building this… This complex series of booby traps so that nobody would ever get too close. and then you came along… With that big beating heart of yours, and you broke all those walls down, and it’s just really scary. I mean… What if I lose you?!
