When We Were Growing Up (Part 1)
Nov 1st, 2007 by Clare
Being born in 1985, I am considered the 80s’ baby. All the 80s’ Babies, please hands up! Can you remember how you grew up? What were the TV Shows that you liked to watch?
I remembered not-so-clearly that I grew up watching Baja Hitam - some Japanese black-suit guy that had a housefly for his head.
And then there were this cartoon that we grew up watching - small, blue and live in mushrooms…
The ol’ Smurfs!
Apart from the two nostalgic cartoons that I’ve mentioned, we also grew up watching:
Thundercats
“Thundercats, Ho!!!”
He-Man and The Masters of the Universe
Transformers
Woody Woodpecker
…and his mischiefs and not forgetting his signature laughter as he pops around odd places!
Alvin and the Chipmunks
They are so cute! Can’t wait for the movie to be released.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I even owned a Raphael figurine, a Ninja Turtle bowl, a Ninja Turtle Mug, a Ninja Turtle Plate and a pair of Ninja Turtle pajamas! 0.o!!!
Ultraman
I did notice that the buildings and the suit looked so fake back then but still watched the show though.
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers
This is the original Power Rangers. My cousin, my brother and I each bought a Power Rangers mask and started a mock fight against the bad guys which happened to be the Barbie Dolls’ Collection and soft toys belonging to another cousin! Wuahahahahha!!!
Not forgetting also the Mickey Mouse, Mask, Voltron, Bugs Bunny and McGyver.
Last but not least, Speedy Gonzalez the mice!
“Ariba! Ariba! Andale! Andale!”
What else did I miss out? No, Pokemon and Digimon had not existed yet back then. Doraemon was there when I was in primary school liao. 
*hands up!*
Ooo… My fave is Alvin and the Chipmunks!! There’s a movie coming out?
Erm… do you remember this fat orange cat named Heathcliff? I used to watch it a lot!! This might help jog your memory
Yes, the movie “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is coming soon! I am looking forward to it! I don’t remember watching the fat orange cat lor…Hehehe!!!
smurf and their magic mushroom.. i think that’s how they get so high.. ha ha
You dun watch ‘bi bi’? The wolf keep chasing after a some sort like bird and keep bumping into traps, rocks and trains.
Oh, that one. It’s called the Road Runner and the Coyote or something…Yeah, that too!
but you’re still growing up right?
No lor…Growing sideways liao! Muahahaha!!!
Wooo…. those were the days.
jam: You mean woody wood pecker? hahaha… stupid wolf.
I think Jam was talking about the Roadrunner and the Coyote.
Clare, right, that is the correct name.
This is my favourite post !!!!
Seems like we watched the same cartoon last time lo….
And one more the little pony ? u remember ?
Yay! You are also the 80s’ Baby! But I don’t remember the little pony wor…too bad!
Gaban. dun reli remember, but there is tis guy who flies around in space wif his huge spaceship destroyin monsters. had tis signature move, “Gaban belah potong dua!” wif his sword.
then there are Maskman and Flashman. the five man-team others than Power Rangers. i like them better than PR. coz i couldnt reli understand english then. and then these jpnese shows are voice-sub in malay.
nice jog in memory lane. i felt refreshed ady.
Cannot remember that also…hehehe!
lidat mah i’m the 70’s babies loh!!!
70s’ Baby also not bad mah, not that old also…
its road runner and the tasmanian devil [Taz].. lol..
It is Road Runner and Coyote. Tasmanian Devil is with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Sometimes they appear together because they all belonged to the same gang ‘Warner Brothers’
ahhhh, the good old saturday and sunday morning
gaban, silverhawk, baja ‘tendangan padu maut’ hitam, voltron, mospeada, macross, jam… those are quality cartoon!!
although now I am horrified watching reruns of G1 transformers. Damn horrible scripts and plots.
McGyver?? Got cartoon meh?
I wasn’t mentioning about cartoon only
Wakao, exactly the same as my childhood cartoon la… And the last one is… Andale Andale Yiba Yiba!
That was what I used to imitate also.
[…] Station (1, 2 and 3) have not existed yet. Apart from amusing ourselves with all the TV Shows, we have TV […]
Aper ni clare… Walking down memory lane. Haha. We used to tease our lil sis with that “Ariba, ariba.. ” because her name almost sounded like “Ariba” (Eva).. But she didn’t know what we were blabbing abt…. That cartoon mati ditelan zaman after she was born.
Anyway, do you still rmbr Mighty Mouse? It always reminds me of Superman. Haha.
Yes! Mighty Mouse and Friends. The Ariba mouse cartoon existed for a few years during its zaman kegemilangan only. Then no more. No wonder your sister didn’t know
