Old School Tag

Posted on the September 18th, 2008 under Life by Papa Bear

I don’t usually do tags and under normal circumstances, I would tell the tagger that I don’t do tags. There is no specific reason for that but today I was tagged by Ellyda and strangely, I decided to do the tag. So, If your tag was declined, please do not get upset ya. May be one day, if you tagged me again, I might do it, just like this one.

Anyway, back to the old school tag. I guess those schooling days were the best days of my life. So, before my memory storage purge some of the old data, I might as well put it in this tag for others and most importantly for me to read when I can’t remember about it anymore. I’ll never know how much more data the memory space in my brain can store…

1. 5 bad habits when you were in your school days;
   • Made lots of noise while no teacher was not around or while waiting for a new subject to begin.
   • Made fun of some nerds in class. One of them actually went bonkers!
   • Marked my own home works – I ensured that I used the same brand of red pens used by my teachers.
   • Either fell asleep or doodled while the teachers were teaching.
   • Sat at the last row so that I could do many other things that were not as bored as the subjects being thought.
2. 3 of your favorite subjects… Why?
   • Physical Education (PE) – No other subjects let you run around like mad and not get punished for it.
   • Chemistry – Exploded things were high on my list.
   • Agama Islam (Islamic Study) – Where the Ustaz came to class with the stories about what he did with his wife the day before.
3. 3 subjects that you disliked… Why?
   • Mathematics – I hated (still hate) math! Don’t ask.
   • Arts – I could only do abstracts and my art teacher hated it.
   • History – I had (still having) problems remembering names such as Temenggung who?
4. Interesting about me;
   • Maintained my presence in the top class throughout my schooling years.
   • Would receive punishment daily for disciplinary cases (elementary years).
   • Best Student in my school for English subject in SPM.
5. I used to love;
   • Mamee Monster snacks and still loving it.
   • My only mixed race basket ball team. Others were all made of Chinese boys.
   • The nasi lemak that my mother used to pack for me for lunch.
   • Hanging out with my two best Chinese buddies.
   • Sun bathing at Teluk Cempedak.
6. I couldn’t live without;
   • Mamee Monster snacks.
   • My red pens. (see bad habits above)
7. Who did you call before you sleep at night?
   • Nobody as we did not have any phone those days…

There you go. I would not tag anybody specific and I welcome those who want to do the tag. Just let me know that you have done it so that I can go over to your blog to read it.
