So this user posted the word 'Chiji' on one of my statuses on here earlier which reminded me of my childhood days and how people would tantalise me for small things without actually offering. :(

"Tenu 'chiji' leke deni ah, ah karde?" Sounds familiar? Hackneyed isn't it? Haha!

From there I thought if we could make a topic? So yeah let's all blissfully reminisce our childhood days on here!

Share your childhood experiences, things you liked/disliked, things you enjoyed doing, stuff you was fond of the most etc. This can also include things you was deprived of  (Considering we have all been brought up by "Asian" parents) 

Never mind if they're happy or sad stories. But if they were sad, include a corrective action you would take to ensure your own future kids don't face similar situations during their childhood.

Here's mine:
My childhood bike - So I was brought up in a city that was too densely populated with shedloads of traffic everywhere. Like even the nearest park was miles away! And reaching the bike lanes wasn't too feasible without actually driving through busy roads. :/

As a child I was too fond of bikes ( bicycles, as some may call; pretty normal for a lad ) and I would ask my dad to buy me one? He had always refused to get me one, reason being the above busy traffic ^ and he considered it too unsafe (Overprotective Asian parenting *sad face*). I would watch my neighbourhood mates heading to the park on their bikes, whereas I would go by walk. A few would offer me theirs to just ride in the park, temporarily. But that wasn't as fun as having my own, you know! So I would come back home and whinge about it to my mom but she wasn't too keen on pushing dad, either. :/

There were days I would cry cry cry and cry off to sleep just because no one would buy me a bike! ( I'm just laughing whilst reminiscing this bit right now ) But then yeah such was life back in the day!

Years down the line, I'm all grown up, made my mark, have a job, own a car, own a motorbike too (Bullet in fact, yay!) And can even purchase the most expensive bike available! But then whenever this sad bike story occurs to me, I just feel like asking dad to buy me one and get me them childhood days back! :'( So I can head to the park, ride my bike like a bird, flaunt it to my mates and do all that kids do with their little possessions :')
 
Corrective action - I shall ensure I have my kids' bikes ready even before they're born so that they're never deprived of bikes, even for a single day! :) Kid(s) - Yes I plan on having 2 or even 3 LOL

This was all I could think of just now, now go ahead, share yours! And trust me I shall read them all :)
