I just got back from 6 hour of royal wedding watching at D's. Wasn't planning on it, but our exchange student from N.Ireland was really excited about the wedding, so I went. D had recorded it, on HD. Good small little party, I must say. Just 3 of us, hanging out, eating pizza, chilling and having ice cream. Good times. Almost made up for me having to watch the kissing clip 20 times in a day.
We were talking about tv channels. I said when I was growing up we had 3. Remember the pre-Astro years? Antennas on our roofs instead of satellite dishes? TV1 was a write off, we'd watch mandarin news and TVB series on TVdua and sometimes movies on TVTiga (~~untuk anda). There were always anti-dadah warnings and all those weird/old government stuff. Cartoon shows were interleaved with mamee or other snack commercials for kids. Those were often weird and old too. Chinese programs were scarce. My bro and I spent sunday afternoons watching indian movies, before the was such a thing as Bollywood. Remember the excitement when NTV7 came out? I still remember the "I feel good" commercials they had when they first started.
Then Astro happened and everything was history. I think someone even hosted a party in high school and we spent 3 hours watching (re-watching for almost everyone) Titanic in anticipation of less censorship. I don't remember where it was, but it was very hot - weather wise, and ppl were bbq-ing. Sometimes I don't remember how I got here, and what happened between then and now.
