I like to read Bookworms Short Stories in my primary school days .
And this chinese newsletter , Zhi SHi Bao or something like that.. that comes every week. The chinese teacher will tell students to order and then they will distribute to us one. Got contest to join also but the prize is terrible : a ball-point pen
And also I like to play on the recorder. We will learn it during music lessons one. The high notes were ok. But I always have problems blowing the lower notes as my fingers were short
Then my primary school days session will alterate every year one . I think Primary 1 , 3 , 5 on afternoon. 2, 4, 6 in the morning. Afternoon session is cool coz I will go to school early to play before going for the afternoon sessions.
I like to sing those songs i learn in school one. Let me recall... Think got one song about this spider one.. must sing and do action using your hands to imagine the spider crawling. And those National days songs - Five Star Arising , Chan Mali Chan.. etc
Well .. those are my thoughts.... -

Yeh yeh! Played before but was somewhat a distant memory.Originally posted by StarPuppy:i rmember after school...magic card fights -
anyone can remeber the pencil football game where u draw a football field on paper n use penicl to shoot the ball(supposed to be a dot on paper)

I used to play that.Not just aircraft,but also warships,motorbikes,cars etcOriginally posted by BÃ¥seline:Then there's also those playing cards with military planes/bombers etc kind. Each has a vehicle or some sort with little figures.
How to play?
Eg,you have an F-15 on your card.You say "Speed" and put down your card.If the other guy's card is a Harrier whose speed is less,then he loses and you can take away his card.The games goes on until one person has the full set of 32(or 36?)cards and the other guys have no cards left.
Out of the 32 platforms,there will be one very "powerful".That is called the 1st King.2nd most powerful=2nd King and so on.I remember for warships,the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is always the 1st King.Whoever has the 1st King almost confirm will win the whole game.
But then again,even the 1st King has 1 or 2 weaknesses.Eg the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier speed is 30kts.If your opponent say "speed" and his card is a 36 kt destroyer and your next card is the Nimitz,then he makan your card and capture your 1st King.
