I grew up in the early 90s. But computer become a often need for Secondary school student in mid 90s (my cousin was 13 back then).
But unfortunately, my dad bombarded me with 60s-80s lifestyle. Making myself unable to blend into the newer generation of kids nowadays.

I think e 70s was also a bus booming years when SBS started... many new bus routes were introduced or improved -
those from the 70s saw the rise of punk and the Sex Pistols...
so envious

Actually I already started to use my dad's P1 233MHz when I was 4 or 5. -
I grew up in the 1990s. I had my first bus ride on the rather new new VO3x that time when I was about 4. I think I only boarded a LO2x or O305 once or twice. That time there was still NAC DD but I was too young to enjoy. I got to enjoy a great deal or OAC and NAC Scanias. Those days I also boarded the rather new new VO3x that time often on 28. I only got to enjoy CAC Scania in 2000. Also boarded more buses from 2000. I really miss the mid 1990s when there was a great balance of old and new buses.

Shit...I'm so gonna reveal my age...
Anyway, to hell with it!
I was less than 3 in the 70's...but in the 80's....
I spent my childhood watching cartoons on tv - Mask, He-Man, Transformers, Dungeon & Dragon (only for a few episode before they axed it - A la Hairy Potter), that cartoon with magnets on their feet (dunno what's it's called), Spiderman from The Electric Company, G.I Joes, Centrurians, etc....
As for toys, basically it's all of the above including Lego, Playdoh, RC cars and sports like skateboarding (where are my boards?), cycling and kite flying. Kite flying is the happending modern type where it comes with two strings controlling the direction.
Electronics - we have Sega and Nintendo. I prefer the Sega Gameboy cos it was the first colour screen. Sonic the Hedgehog was fun!
Oh, and I also played with a lot of science projects and children experiments like starting fire with magnifying glasses (!), hang at friend's place (lost contact riao), reading Singapore Ghost stories and all things weird. There this book which I still have it - something like a ghost bible. It talks about poltegeists, super power, and all the "Believe it or not" topics.
Yeah...damn I miss my toys.....
