Every generation has it quirks. Let's take a trip down memory lane.
1. You've rocked a pair of bell-bottom or bootcut jeans with a pair of platform shoes or sandals. It was THE look.
2. Your choice of shoes was pair of white Scholl sandals that had massaging bumps on the insole.
3. You've fastened your baggy pants with a military-style belt but let its long tip dangle just like the pop duo Raptor did.
4. Watches of choice were the cute Casio Baby-G.
5. You've punched actual buttons to make a phone call. You've used coin-operated public phones. You had a collection of phonecards. The landline phone numbers were seven-digit. OMG, that makes me feel so old.
6. You’ve bought a roti saimai from an uncle hawker. With every purchase, you got to press a buzzer for a chance to win more than one piece. Bring it back please.
7. You made a mixtape filled with your favourite songs. You rewound a cassette tape by putting a pen into one of its two holes and spun away. You accidentally bumped into someone while listening to a Walkman.
8. Your mobile phone ownership started with a PCT, various models of Nokia and then a BlackBerry, before you graduated with a smartphone, circa now.
9. Before Pokemon Go got cha, Snake on Nokia had cha. You've lived through Tamagotchi, Blythe dolls, Furby and the look thep crazes.
10. Your symbol of status at school was a pencil box with buttons which you pressed to reveal a sharpener or spaces to store your erasers. Man, it was so cool.
11. You can't remember the email addresses you signed up with Yahoo and Hotmail as you now use Gmail only. Heck, you probably don't want to remember them because they probably sounded REALLY lame.
12. You know what a floppy disk looked like.
13. You blew into the bottom of a video game cartridge when your game Nintendo or Sega consoles didn't load. This was supposed to fix the problem. Your saliva magically jolted the system, perhaps?
14. For the movie experience at home, you've been through various mediums, from video tapes, LaserDisc, VCD, DVD and Blu-ray, before enjoying BitTorrent Netflix.
15. You first knew Eak of UHT, the late Stephen of Boyzone, Lance of NSYNC, Mark of Westlife and Ricky Martin back when they hadn't come out yet.
16. You bought CDs from Tower Records at the World Trade Center which is now known as CentralWorld.
17. You were crazy about The Moffatts and occasionally miss them like crazy. You now look forward to attending concerts by bands or singers whose popularity peaked during your teen years.
18. You have exchanged flirty messages with possible love interests via pager and ICQ. You may wonder why you're still single despite having Tinder on your phone.
19. You feel lucky that there wasn't such advanced technology around back then that would have permanently recorded all the mistakes you made.
