oh yes, I used to patronise this mama store manned by an old Indian man on my way to primary school. Everytime spent 5ct on a small packet of kachang-puteh or sweets. My impression of mama store was that they are mainly manned by Indians.heard on Class 95 this morning that the traditionl mama stores are in threat of extinction.

I remembered he also sold comics/hair cream/knick knacks and that ever popular tikam-tikam which always attracted so many students who could afford to play the game. -

i loved to browse mama stores when i was small.. i remember they sell some simple toys, like those colorful paper balls, cha-tek, and there was this little metal tube (like a tiny toothpaste tube) filled with this strong-smelling gluey substance that you squeeze onto the end of a thin plastic straw and blow it up into a sticky little balloon.. errr... not sure anyone knows what i'm talking about... :siao: :siao: :siao:heard on Class 95 this morning that the traditionl mama stores are in threat of extinction.

oh yes there were also those Airplane trading cards used in card games where we compete wingspan, engine power etc.. -

yup, my primary school classmates and I would blow ballons almost everyday during recess and we enjoyed sucking and making a small hole to 'expand' it by blowing. After that, we stuck different ballons together and had a great time. However because it broke easily because they were so thin just slightly thicker than soap bubbles. I still see them being sold in some small shops now and then.

and my classmates and I loved skipping too. Those days we used rubber bands to join together to form a skipping rope and we also did high jumps and 'acrobatic' jumps also. Wonder if primary school girls still like them now?
Also the paper balls/kicking/passing to one another..
The 'guai guai' ones would play 5 stones made of beans.
It would be physical activities overall so we were healthier and thinner then... :evil: -
pinky… that is called zero-point… yes… 1 inch above head, we did cartwheels for those who cant jump over that high…
