Does Tom & Jerry ring a bell to you ?? I guess it does to every human being on earth who had a television set at home ... Today one of my relatives came over for a visit and being a good host I search for T&J on internet and broadcast it to my 52inch TV for my 5 years old niece to watch.. I joined her for a while and when I was watching T&J, suddenly memories of my childhood flooded my brain.
I remembered back then when I was just 5 years of age, my mum told me that I will sit down in front of the TV at evening time waiting for T&J to start. Somehow my mum used T&J as a bait for me to finish my rice or the veg I hated so much.. T&J was basically my first watched cartoon and back then we don't have cartoon network on Cable TV or internet unlike now. How I remembered that I will do everything my mum ask of me in order to get to watch my favourite cartoon.
The cartoon is so simple , every eposide is the same Tom trying to catch Jerry and Jerry trying to outwit Tom to escape his clutches. . but yet I like the cartoon so much.. I still remember my mum favourite pharse " if you don't finish your rice , the mata (police) will catch you " In my kindergarten (pre school) days I remembered that I always wink at one of the girl sitting at a corner and she will wink back at me.. We talked about being together forever but lost contact halfway when her family migrated.
I used to go to this mama stall and buy my favourite "sheng Bao" (ice cube) .. it comes in bandung , milo or orange flavour. It only cost 10 cents back then.. Now it is almost impossible to get one.. I guess If I will to continue my childhood memories it will never end.. These are the some of the stuff that I will always remember and probably tell my grandchild.
How about you ?? what is your most memorable childhood memories? or what come to your mind when you see this Tom & Jerry cartoon ?? ......... How I just wish to go back to my childhood days where without worries and so carefree.. Argh ............. :(
