Well, our world isn't that far apart. I was there when all these games were played and enjoyed by most of the kids especially in our hometown, SIBU... Those were the happiest moment in my life, I would say. I had a lot of friends and some of them I didn't even know too, especially my seniors. My favourite games are Police and Thief, Zero Point, Marble, Spinning Top, and Who's the Monkey. When I think back of all these, how lucky we are to be born in those years. I know there certain things that we didn't have back then. However, the sweet memories remain till this very moment. We were the creative ones. We had our own signature games that kids these days just couldn't even think of. Well, great to be there once and miss all those moments... Hi Clare,

Two players put their own rubbers in the opposite corner of the table. Whoever manage to hit his opponent's rubber down the table declared as winner, and of course winner take all! Back then, parents kept asking why we kept losing our pencil rubbers. It's like carom.</p> During our time, we also play with pencil rubber.
