Those were the days...

I was watching tv with the girls just now when I saw a snippet on Beverly Hills 90210. OMG! Flashback to all those years when big hair was in...

I remember waiting anxiously if I'm not mistaken on a school night for the show to come on TV2... Those days, Astro was unheard of. My parents would turn off the TV and told us to sleep early but my brother and me would sneak out to watch the show anyway with volume down and lights off. It was a treat if we get to watch how Brenda & Brian tried to adapt to living in Beverly Hills.

My mind drifted to those years. When I was still a teenager, eager to be part of the trend. While my cousins were the only friends I knew and could trust, I looked up to the older ones for trendy tips. I remember trying to get my bang up ala Cindy Lauper, but failed miserably because I had had such fine hair. I used to nag my parents on buying me carrot cut jeans (Thanks to MC Hammer) because I just had to wear it with the oversize t-shirts my aunts got me for Christmas. I loved my aunt Judy especially for getting me that high cut Reebok sneakers and I couldn't stop wearing them everyday because it was such a big thing back then. And then for school, I insisted that the seamstress did my pinafore in a way that resembled an umbrella. Because everybody else did the same. And then, Swatch was a must have. If you haven't got one, you haven't got the style or so we thought.

Sweet time those years. When we didn't have to worry about anything but study and boyfriends. When money was not in our mind, just fancy stuffs that our parents got for us. Worries were little, gossips were aplenty. How things have changed. The only thing that lasts is the friendship we made as we grow old...
