The 80's Babies

I am an 80's Baby!

80's babies in my point of view are those who were born in 1980-1985 and these babies rocked! Don't you wish to go back to the period in your life when nothing else mattered except catching the next episode of Thundercats, Care-Bears, He-man, Ultraman, Donald ducks, She-Ra and so many more! The cartoons then were the best and full of education. We all enjoyed watching movies like Back to the Future, Gremlins, Rambos, the Neverending Story, Indiana Jones, Star Wars ,ET...

PAC MAN was a very famous and I bet all the eighties babies must have played it before. I considered myself to be very lucky whenever I had the chance to touch a TV game. Games were very expensive then and most of us played outdoor. We would go to the school early to play jumping joined-elastic bands, ke-tintin, batu seremban and to climb trees for the boys. In the evening, we would put on the trainers, a pair of shorts and a t-shirt then went cycling or jogging. How often do you see children doing these nowadays? We didn't need to spend most of our time doing the neverending homework, bringing a log to school nor competing who got the best result academically.

I am so PROUD when I know that being the 80's babies, we have so many first times and last times with gadgets and experiences. We are the last generation to record or listen to the Spice Girls in cassettes, watched movies with laser disc, danced around with our 'precious' walkman, playing badminton on the road and climbing up trees to pluck fruits. No make ups, walked everywhere and paid only twenty cents for a bowl of noodles plus the last to see a RM1000 note! Lastly, the introduction of Apple technologies, Compact Discs, Laptops (netbook), mobile phones, Playstation and the low cost airlines so that everyone can fly! Whao, I am so proud to be born in 1983!
