Most of us grew up in the 1980s. If not the early 80s then in the late 80s. With each generation came a certain memorable event or show. Here are a few of those memories.
- The everyday cartoons, in the morning of every single day. Especially Friday cause TV started earlier by an hour.
- The opening of Kuwait channel 2 in the afternoon. Started with cartoons, then the regular sitcoms. Followed by an educational show. The news, then the late night movie :P
- Full House, Growing Pains, Family Matters, and many more.
- Running all over the place to find 100fils when you heard "bareeed, bareeed" just to rush after the guy outside to buy your favorite lulu, thahab, sandawicha, bo3elch!
- Playing hide n seek with e3yal el ferej.. the girls and the guys, the cute crushes as young as 6 yrs of age.
- Playing soccer two on two in the house, breaking the lights, and anything in its way.
- Going to the fer3, and yes buying all what you dreamed of with 1kd or even less (I had to mention it :P).
- Competing on who has earned the most in Eid, and of course, give me 1 ill give you 2 scam :P
- Pizza Italia, hungry bunny, hardeez (the good ol days.)
- Entertainment city was a whole day trip, it was our universe when we went. The house of mirrors was the most fun. Remember Showbiz? The machine with the Helium balloons?
- Buying the first Tape to play in your old Walkman, watching MTV and learning cool dance moves. (:P Yeah, Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer were on that list too lol).
- Hanging out at Cinema Alsalmiya, especially on holidays when it was even harder to find a parking spot.
- Travelling every summer to Egypt/Europe, discovering Hide Park the squirrels, and Alton Towers, and the Pyramids.
- Swimming lessons, and when you first learned to swim. "Hold on to me and move your legs!" That is what they used to say, as you thrashed along the coast line/swimming pool.
- The uncountable number of torn backpacks from school!
What else..
- Mischief? Don't let me go there :P These are better buried in the past lol. We've all had our share, good moments and bad ones.
This post was influenced by Cuteberry's Childhood Memories post.
Memories are great to be remembered, not to be pondered on or make us feel sad about the present, with each growing moment we come across good and bad experiences. Let the good that happens today be a memory for the children of this age. One day they will grow up and remember Pokemon.. etc lol.

Maybe, Who's to know :P But it is true, nearly all of *us* go through it. It is basically a certain sub culture.. I guess nearly all bloggers/readers have in common and can relate to.
