Tora and Ding Dang
Well, this brings back memories. Childhood memories that is.
Passed by Everise (Near 7th Mile), and saw the two things from my childhood days that I thought have already phase out or out of distribution already. The Tora and Ding Dang.

Tora
Ding DangI remembered the young naive me used to keep pestering my mum to buy Tora or the Ding Dang. Not because of the chocolate balls inside (not exactly taste good) but because of the different toys one gets.
Hence, I smiled when I saw the Tora and Ding Dang at the shelves. Without even thinking what others (my colleagues) would think, I grab a Tora and a Ding Dang and march to the cashier. Yes, amacho big guy like me buying some kiddy stuff.

Bubble Blowing Set in Ding DangRight. Now I can blow some bubble while fishing at the same time when I am bored. =p
I would think that some might not even hear about Tora and Ding Dang, perhaps maybe the rich would never heard bout it. Something like I am too "standard" to be buying stuff like that kind of thing. Somewhere along that line.
Their childhood probably would be full time tuition, learning linguistic lessons, and definitely learn piano or the violin or **insert musical instrument here**. Or even, their play time would be playing golf or tennis and their hobby would be like flying the helicopter or plane or something. =p
Anyway, like what I said, it brings back childhood memories. I am considered a kampung boy. Not exactly authentic kampung boy but a kampung boy nonetheless coming from a small town.
So, what my childhood was like?

It involves climbing trees (Not just some sissy ass midget tree ok, but giant tree where you can see buildings far away if you are on the top), fishing as in catching fishes by jumping into the mud when the water is low and use bare hand to feel the fish, play hide and seek, explore secondary forest nearby, making own weapon (the lastik) and try to hunt down birds and a lot more. Well, you get the idea.
Gosh, suddenly I feel old. Those days, Tv shows such as Transformers, Thundercats, Mickey Mouse, Voltron, Ultraman, Bugs Bunny, He-Man, McGyver, the Wat's Up Doc bunny, the yippa yippa anderra anderaa mouse cartoon are a must watch.
That is it already. The more I think back the older I felt I have become. Cannot like that, Have to stop already..
Forever Young mah. =p
