ICONS of my past

During the 1970's through my teens in the 1980's and now in my thirty's in the 21st century I would like to share things that have been iconic with me be they toys, books, movies or people. They are based on stages of my life, unfortunately I do not remember anything before age 4 or 5 so this list is missing parts of my life from those early years. I shall not be talking about my family here as that will be in another post.

Age 6 to 10

- Kindergarden (Remember looking out and saw a long lorry climbing a hill outside the kindergarden)

- Kulai Estate in Kulai Johore ( I walk home with my sis on my first day of primary school, which incidentally was also the first time taking a school bus for my sis and I. We were not informed by the bus driver that it would be a different bus picking us up after school and we were frantically looking for the same bus that sent us in the morning. In the end we decide to walk home, both crying while walking.)

- Gua Kong (mum's side) tortoise soup while staying at 3storey shophouse (Something that was bitter and black and smelled funny with all the herbs. Me and my cousin Gary stole some to drink and found it to be yucky.)
