HERE TODAY GONE TOMMOROW: HOBBIES IN THE PAST THAT SEEMS OBSOLETE NOW

Just taking you guys to a look down memory lane where we'll be looking at favorite pastimes that was all the rage at that time and seems to be fading nowadays, some are still here but not as popular as it was yesterday and some just disappeared.

Paper Art

I don't know what to call this one but it involves folding a piece of rectangular paper into a triangular shape and connecting those pieces to build something such as a bird like you saw in the picture above. The owner of the picture above took 5 years to complete the bird.

I remember every stationery shops sell the rectangular paper and it ain't cheap so most people create their own rectangle paper (which is not easy I told ya !). Sadly today, it's not common to see this art been sold or even displayed.

Plastic Straw Rose

My sister and my cousin is crazy about this !

This one involve cutting a special type of straw (same like the one you use to drink but this one is slightly flimsier). It used a special type of tools which is a small razor attached at the end of a stick to cut the straw. Then, the straw is folded into a rose shape.

This one required special skill especially the folding part and did I tell you when we were doing this back in the days there's a lot of blood spilled due to the sharpness of the razor used.


Stickers

This one is still around but it was not as hot as it was.

There's a lot of type but the popular one (in my school) is the plastic one and we even trade it with each other, but now it seems like nobody cares about them, just look at your nephew/niece generation...

Trading Cards Game

This one was probably new, there's Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and more. I'm never good at playing this one tho'. The generation that have been introduced with this game had moved on I guess.




Electronic Pet

The picture above is the counterfeit version of Tamagotchi (sadly I own one).

Tamagotchi is made for girls while for the guys they got Digimon. One of my guy friend own a Digimon which required to be shake with a rather sexual gesture.


Friendster

Some friendster avid fan will definitely be mad at me because this site is still around and people are still using it but to be honest most of my friends are moving to you know... facebook, twitter, etc. so this one can be considered as favorites that become forgotten.


I don't like the new logo so I put up the old one there.
