When I was growing up, there was no computer, Nitendo DS, Wii, or Playstation. There wasn’t even color TV in my house. My childhood was all about playing good old traditional games that were tons of fun: ah chi lok (hide-and-seek), kah li toay (outdoor running game), chit liap buah/batu (a game about tossing and catching seven stones/small parcels filled with rice), skipping (with rubber band rope), and masak-masak.
I was the mischievous, naughty, loud, and devilish child who was always active and out-and-about playing all sorts of traditional childhood games in my neighborhood. My mother would chase me through the back alley of our house with her whipping cane while I was running breathless and frolicking in front of her. The enjoyment was more than Wii, DS, Playstation, and whatever toys combined. Fun was merely an understatement…
