I was talking to my old pal that day and we were lamenting why do we have to grow up?
Why do we have to learn all that teensy weeny details that dun contribute much to our growth intellectually like interpersonal skills? It is so insignificant to us yet it will make or break us.
So Sad....
Then I carried out thinking about the problem till i went off the tangent and start thinking on the old cartoon characters that I as a child used to enjoy.
You know with the remake of several old cartoons characters, I really feel so happy to see them!
a) Popeye
Popeye and His wife Olive Oyl
Yeah, he and his forever growing demand of spinach. Cant imagine anyone who can stand the smell and the texture of spinach. I hate that veggie and my mum would use to say that spinach will make me grow bigger like POPEYE did. Geez.....Why would a girl need to grow that kind of bulging muscles?
b) Mickey mouse
His kind is like vampires and never growing old. You have Minnie, Donald Duck and so on...
Geez...a forever growing and widely popular character. You will have to understand the beauty and the immensely powerful Mickey mouse corporation. Their branches virtually expanded everywhere including the recent clothing merchandising. Geez........loaded sia.
c)Smurfs
This is one of my oldest favorite characters. I even had a sticker book back then. Haha....I started to like cartoons as results of them. Even my handphone ringtone is their theme song.
It brings back fond memories how my parents, despite their tight financial situations, indulge me in my favorite sticker collection on them.
d) Transformers
I remember how I glued myself to the TV set every 5.30pm from Monday to Friday just to catch them. I even remember that I vowed to continue to do so till the show is gone. Amazing determination isnt it? Well, this is sort of like my healing balm after a long day of being tortured by my mum to do homework which i lack aplitude back then.
e) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
This one is certainly the glue that bond me and my brother together. We are like Ben and Jerry, always fighting and stuff. But when it comes to our favorite cartoon shows we will fight together. I remember that once we were in Granny's house and our bad cousin wouldnt allow us to watch it so we beg our parents to go home early. hehe.....Just in time to reach home by 830pm and switch on the TV.
Heard that there is a movie on it coming up. Hope I can catch it man!
f) Superman
Always like this American chap since young. Duno why? He aint handsome and he is too bulky for god's sake. May be I just like the way he saves people.
g) Batman
Used to think that he is so cool, wearing black and all. But sometimes as a kid, I cant help but wondering wun he feel too hot wearing black since black absorbs heat faster than others?
h) Wonderwoman
The only cartoon human female character. CAnt remember why i like her so much but certaintly she is a god of fortune to me. She help me win a whole can of erasers when diddling with erasers is so popular then. haha.......of coz later mum ask me to return all erasers when she sees the can. She say that is cheating and erasers are expensive. AWWWWWWWW!
i) Hello Kitty
Duno why I like this mouthless kitty. But I like the goodies that comes with it. Quite yummy but the horror that it creates in Singapore make me think twice about addiction to it.
j) Strawberry Shortcake
yay, it is coming back. I certainly see kids holding them in Toy'r'us. haha.........
So cool that I absolutely love them. Dainty which I am not, makes me admire them. haha...
