Honey tagged

Posted by: Purgatory at 6:39 am in Life, Penguins
I have been tagged again, this time by Rabab, why do you people keep doing this to me!What 5 things do you miss about your childhood? How should I know! you are talking about things that happened 30 years ago, but I will give it a shot.

1) Growing in the 70's - for those who grew in that period, you know what I mean, it was different, and nicer. Not like today, I have no clue how these kids of today grow up in such a world.

2) Drinking cocktails at Malek el3aseer - I think that is what I used to be, now Layla Gallery is in its place. We used to go there each Friday and get cocktails.

3) Sleep overs at grandmother's house - those used to be fun time, spending time with my aunts and uncles, I was spoiled, got candy, toys, books, etc.

4) Summer holidays at home and watching cartoons on TV - some of you never had this experience, two channels, TV with dial where you have to stand to change channels, watching Bahrain 55, Dubai 33 when you have good humidity, UHF, VHF. Nowadays I have no clue about this satellite business, nor do I want to know.

5) Innocence - some of you might see this as very obvious, but I do not think it is nowadays. The kids are corrupt, spoiled and lazy. But that is not their fault, it is the world we live in, which is relatively peaceful compared to the past 50 years.

Ok now the dirty business of tagging others. I will tag Ra-1, The sexy Swair, and Jazz Central

Ok, just to finish this post, as some of you like this part, today's attire is white shirt, gray suit with the copper strips (you remember that one), and a peach tie with diagonal shades of orange (light and dark)

I totaly agree on #5. Kids these days cannot be satisfied unless they get their own mobile & their own playstation.. oh & they learn the "F" word at an extremely early age!!!!
True Faith said in July 14th, 2005 at 8:36 am
Good morning :)

#5 is so true ... and those kids of today never ask ... they know every thing :/

Good morning!

I think malek el 3asseer is the "great" shawerma place that mark keeps bragging about opposite AUK

Sleep overs at grandmas with my cousins were always the best (even though it wasn't really planned...it simply was coz my grandmas place was the safest place during the war)

I loved those antennas! I just recently learnt how to fix up the satellite channels so i dont have to depend on anyone else... i actually free some time every few months to work on them.

I know what u mean about the kids nowadays...

I was raised in the 80s and my childhood is very similar to yours.
Malek al3aser was THE PLACE. The best cocktail in town, and Laila Gallery? Heheh now I wonder how we actually hanged out there. Sleep at grandma with my cousins was a must thing every weekend. Oh I loved the old Cartoons.

Peach and Orange? What happened to the blue color?
Purgatory72 said in July 14th, 2005 at 1:17 pm
Jazz, yeah I am sure some would have similar memories.

NuNu, as a kid :P not now

Growing up in the early 80's was pretty cool too. Well ok I'm a mid-80-er. I was lucky to have experienced the 'innocence' and the 'little things' that made a big difference in our lives. But I see what you mean about the new generation. I guess that's what they'll be saying about the following generation as well. It's the Technology I tell ya!
Shopaholic Q8eya said in July 14th, 2005 at 3:58 pm

Purgatory72 said in July 14th, 2005 at 4:02 pm

Shopaholic Q8eya said in July 14th, 2005 at 6:10 pm

Khalas you win. It's true you can't wear the same colors over and over again ;P
Purgatory72 said in July 14th, 2005 at 6:12 pm

Shopaholic Q8eya said in July 14th, 2005 at 6:13 pm

Purgatory72 said in July 14th, 2005 at 6:14 pm

I have one of those antennas now, its actually quite good at picking up HDTV signals. Twist the thing till you get a hit.

Latifa, if you remember those things then you are old :)

The kuwaiti, hmm, have to think about that.

I heard beautiful things about Kuwait in the 70's I regret missing it as I was born late in the 70's, my teenage life was spent in the 90's .. it was still alot more purer than it is today! I have worries and fear for the little ones growing into such world, and Purgy, you are lucky to have spent such beautiful memories :)
Purgatory72 said in July 16th, 2005 at 12:02 pm
