Ever punched someone before? Well, i have… Well, not deliberately at least.

It was in Primary School. I was primary 2 or 3 in Jin Tai Primary when i got to know the “victim”. I can’t remember his name. But i think there’s a “Loong” in his last name.

Reading Sparklette Veron’s post on our Childhood Memories, reminds me of an incident in my youth.

Remember those little Nintendo LCD games like Donkey Kong or Parachute? Well, i had a friend in Primary School called Ming Ming. He had one of those games. He was our favourite “rich-kid” in the class. He was the “have it all” and “know it all”. He was the first to have his own Computer at home (computers were expensive those days).

My family had a really cute term for “going on a road trip”. My Dad calls it “sek fong” - literally “eating wind” in Cantonese.

Once, i took it literally and opened my mouth really wide, attempting to eat all the air rushing thru the open window. Hee hee… ended up with really parched lips.

Note: This post is part of a series of recycled posts from my old Blog. They are primarily about my childhood and adolescence times. 11 Parts in all. Enjoy!

When we were younger, my kid brother just worships me. Just 4 years younger than me, he thinks that i’m a genius and i know everything. I have a tendency to answer everyone’s questions. Its just boosts my self-confidence.

Once, we went to the airport to fetch an uncle who had come to Singapore for a visit. We took our cousin’s car. We were really thrilled. Although i don’t know my uncle very well, its just fun to go on trips.

My first entrepreneurial act as a child was in Primary School - Primary 2 or 3 . I remember watching on TV, the public drawing of lucky draw prizes on a Channel 8 Variety Show. I was awed by the huge prizes that they were giving away.

I wanted to do that too.
