darkflame Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I remember my primary school used blackboards throughout my 6 years since it was an old school building.For sec 1, I had blackboards before we moved to the new campus which had whiteboards instead.I used to love writing with chalk though. Feels much nicer than markers that run out of ink quickly. Quote I'm always running after you. You are my ideal. You are me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango_juice Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I kinda can't stand the streaking (how to spell) of the nails on the black board... Some teachers just like to do that... I had a tough time when there's such people who like to do that... And I mastered how to draw dotted lines with the chalk lolx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always one in sch but sometimes it's taken up during recess so we draw our own portable one heheMy group of hopskotch mates used to determine whose class was always first to go for recess based on the teacher.So the earliest to go for recess would head for the hopskotch and reserve it.Then someone will buy his meal instead.

darkflame Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I was intrigued by the dragon playground but when I was in primary school the sandy playgrounds were almost phased out.So I ended up playing on the new series of playgrounds. Lol, I thought I was the only one.. When I was a kid I used to be obsessed with new boxes of nice unotuched neatly stacked coloured chalk..I would steal some and amuse myself. Oh yes, and country-flag erasers! Those things were the shit back in pri sch.Unfortunately I had that obsession too. The multi-coloured ones especially.I never used my country-flag erasers. You never know when someone was desperate for one you own.Hahaha so we were all alr gay back then... Most guys dun play hopskotch right?I didn't know hopskotch was played hardly by guys until upper primary.Somehow I preferred netball and captain's ball to other games...

There was this interesting website I found:http://www.80smusicl...com/humor.shtmlIt lists out a bunch of stuff only a real 80s kid would know. Nothing seems familiar to me here. For those born in 1987 onwards, this list might seem more familiar instead:http://www.fanpop.co...e/youre-90s-kidYeap, I may be born in 1989 but I am a real 90s kid, I remember and recognize everything in the 2nd list.
