Childhood TVB Chinese cartoon nostalgia

This year I have been finding and watching childhood cartoons I watched as a kid in Chinese dub

With the likes of Sailormoon (美少女), Old Master Q (老夫子), Doreamon, Candy Candy (小甜甜), Dr Slump (IQ博士) there is a few more!!

What I'm still hunting around for is Animitsu Hime (甜甜公主) but I still haven't found it in Cantonese!! Seen it in Original Japanese but not the same!! I can only find the Chinese theme song thanks to youtube

But recent discovery thanks to Mum and my mum's best friend, they made me rediscover 忍者小靈精!! Cartoon about a Ninja who helps a kid out & keeps saying his catchphrase "yun yun yun" made me smile -^.^-

Nostalgia of cartoons; they were funnier back in the day, can't really appreciate the new cartoons now!

Childhood's favourite Confectionary

A thought popped into my head today, what has happened to penny sweets? do they still exist?

I remember going to the post office after school & getting a few cola bottles, sherbet straw, sour dummies, childhood nostaligia -^.^-

This week when I popped into a Newsagent to get some water before my Zumba class, I noticed they sold the classic chocolate Freddo! what completely threw me off was the fact the original Freddo plain chocolate, was costing 20p, whereas the Caramel centred Freddo 3p cheaper at 17p...... What the Hell Man!!!! When did Freddo bars fluctuate/ double in price?! I swear they have shrunk too!!

Not impressed! ( I.I ")

Free gig @ Old Blue Last

Back in the college days in Exeter, it was pretty normal of me to go to gigs 1-2 times a month. Now in London, doesn't happen as often likely because of being spoilt for choice of artists that come and perform an of course lifestyle in when where to fit the activities.

Well FB is a handy thing to have, my gig buddy Adam from uni days was had this free gig posted on his wall. I thought why not join, free gig and over East London, not far from work! + over due need to go to a gig!

Unfortunately my gig buddy was unable to attend so I went with a few others Inc my old flat mate in uni days! As I thought he wouldn't mind it, it was free & en route to home for him!

Gig over in the location called Old Blue Last, quite a big pub on the corner in the middle if Great Eastern Street. Maybe it's the Britishness in me but I do love a gold old pub! How often so you see Chinese people in them? Majority of the young professionals will opt for a cool trendy bar to an old pub drinking cider! How West Country can I be??

So the bands who performed, Talons, &U&I and Adebisi  Skank

Quite intimate room upstairs of the pub where the bands performed shame majority of the drink was on draught, I wanted my bottle of Gaymers Pear cider!! My friend Lou who joined me to the gig noticed there were a lot of  men & there was a serious man stench in the room.... Kind of normal in a rock gig, didn't bother me hehe

Talons were quite a good band live, I loved the fact he band were different in using violins as well in their music; very haunting but sets a mood, had a slight 65 days, machine head influence but instrumental. When I listened to their music again on Spotify,  didn't sound as good compared to live.
 
&U&I I wasn't really felling, brought me back to college day music of gaw grid music so stayed downstairs with my mates

Adebesi Skank were not pretty alright fun music instrumental rock electro vibe mosh pit was created and crowd surfers appeared. I think I'm a bit old for mosh pits!! Well wasn't in the frame of mind for them as it was after work and had big bag with me haha!!
