My friend and I have a little chat on our childhood favourite over lunch today and we both grow up in different country even though she is purely a Malaysian. Then we found there were so much different between growing up outside Malaysia which I don’t think I want to mention where.
Let start with Kindergarten. During those days, we are taught to write ABC and 123 but we were never really encouraged to read books. Indeed, my friend has a different learning. Besides what we have learnt they are compulsory to bring back a book from school to read which we really do not have this system here. She has read so many fairy tales and some we heard of but never even read. We here only read Peter and Jane if and only if our parents actually buy for us, which I am forced to read by my father. That is probably why not many people have the habit of reading here.
What about cartoon? Yeah, we grow up with almost the same cartoon and we thought Power Rangers were cool. On the other hand, there were no such things as Power Rangers and Ultraman in where she grew up. When she came to know about it, it was lame to her! HAHA!
Pretty funny huh? Coolest thing on one side of the world can be the lamest thing on the other side!
No matter what is the difference, God is still good all the time. I am glad I didn’t miss out at all during my childhood! I read books I like and toys I want! LOL!
