Those Were The Days

I grew up in a little house at kampung during a time when everyone treated each other like family👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. We went outside to play on open ground, jungle, river, build dens and make tower defense🚩, we got dirty and bruises all over. 

We didn't eat fast food🍟🍔at all because there were none... we ate home made food 🍛.. We got our fruits from our farm. We got no brand ice cream, we made our own ice cream stick. 

We played police and thief 👮(polisintip), "zero point", "kingking", swimming/diving in the river, catching fish, adventurous game, planting vegetables, coffee/koko trees, harvesting. Hide and seek🙈 and many more. We drank water from the boiled tap water or even direct from the gravity water channelled through halved bamboo 🚰if we had a drink we would share the same bottle of pop... after giving it a wipe with our mucky sleeves. 

We had no kids tv channels 📺 rode our bikes 🚲 for hours. There was no such thing as a mobile phone or any other electronic device 📵. We weren't AFRAID OF ANYTHING. If someone had a fight, that's what it was... a fist fight👊. Kids didn't have guns🔫 or knives🔪. We make our own "lastik" & "sumpit" 

The sunset ⛅ were your curfew or until your mum shouted out the window. School was mandatory, but you'd still wag a couple of lessons every now and then ✏️📒. We ate noodles in school like a dog 😂😂 We watched our mouths around our elders👴👵because we knew we'd get a crack, belt or some shoe , slipper 👞👠or even a long stick...
