The Unforgotten Games

At last,I am blogging back at my home in Shah Alam rather to post these in office.I subscribe the Celcom Daily Broadband for RM8 and actually I think the line is suxx...Last night,I hardly browse through all the site except for chatting only.Luckily the signal appear to be quite good in this early morning.Hence,this is why you see me here with the Hari Raya Haji update.*kakakak*

Actually I wonder how many of you actually know all these games.Above is just few games that I post selectively.I played most of the posted game when I still study in primary school.Sorry for the Chinese wording,and I don’t actually know how to translate that.For those can’t read Chinese,sorry or may be you can guess it by seeing the picture.

I think those born before 1990’s still playing these kind of games but those born after 90’s,I think their game will be surrounded by TV Video games,or currently,majority are into PS game,Xbox,PC game etc.Sometime,I am thinking whether these is the good practice for nowadays children.Their only entertainment is playing computer games,or else watching cartoon series.If somebody carry out the survey,I think there is only 1 out of 10 of the children have the chance to play like we guys do back in 80’s.

I can still remember,when I was a small kid time,my dad not allow me to play video games,or those handheld Tetris.Even though I really wonder to have those chance to play that and I have to admit kid is just like those games,it is addicted stuff.So,my only entertainment is play that A.E.I.O.U with my neighbor’s son.There is once I crazy about the guli games and what I can remember is I got few tin of the guli in my room,it is just like my collection.*funny*

For the Jump Aeroplane game (direct translate from Chinese),that will be my all time favourite cause I think that is very challenging especially the difficulty level go tougher and tougher.There has been years I saw kids playing all these game.Even my youngest brother who now study in Standard 2 also not playing these type of game.I only have chance to play badminton with him when I go back.Actually,I quite miss those old time where we play badminton along the roadside,have to aware of the wind direction else we can’t even hit the shuttle,you know.thats really fun and I actually train from there cause it will need more strength to hit the ball if you are opposite the wind.

Anyhow,I really think these is a very good article to share with.All these are the traditional games that we used to play during our childhood and why can’t we let it exist in our future.There are a lot of thing that going to be extinct and I really hope this wouldn’t happen.You guys who read these,you are free to repost it at your blog,it is just a way to spread around our culture.Don’t worry about the photo,you are free to grab it,for more detail information,you may refer to 16 Dec 2007 Sin Chew Newspaper.

Out of all, I never played bakuli and the rope jumping and 7 buah before.... those were the days......my favourite was 跳格子!

Nowadays, people are more into PSP, computers, PS2, PS3.....

It's already official dead all these old children games.
