Guests: Arabaijop & Beh Ki Beh Lok
NOTE: I don’t know how to write Siao Lien Keh in Chinese characters. If you do please help.
Araibaijop and I talked about the things we did when we younger. Beh Ki Beh Lok shared his experience of being a youngster in the present. The differences, the generation gap was a hoot. We’ll do a second show on the games we used to play. The recording for it is next week, make sure to check it out in the forum. Share your own experience and stories in our Penang Hokkien forum.

when i was a siao lien keh i go fishing at the big stone beside batu ferringgi beach which was not allowed by my parents due to very dangerous, but i was not allowed to play kite coz i stay at somewhere near komtar so the traffic is so busy so my parents said if the kite string “putus” so you will run out the road to chase your kite than you maybe crash by a car or motor…
the game with the ‘batu’ and you play throwing and getting the rest on ground is called BATU SAMBUT!!! used to play that a lot with my fellow ex elementary school mates…..miss those! also a, e, i , o, u…then aci duduk….then ‘some mechanic, mechanic, some flower..in the long, in the long…cacaca cicici….played with 2 or more ppl with the palms on one anothers. and a whole lot more of games…some i just forget…but when someone said it out, i’ll remember! cheeers!
Siao Lien Keh in mandarin is :

I’m good in 7 stones too. We played everyday before UPSR since teachers stop teaching before the exam. We have our own point counting system:
You have to take the stone in sequent (1 stone,2 stones,3 stones) in order to gain 10 point before you weigh. You can take (1 stone, 5 stones or two stones, 4 stones) but no 10 extra points.
We usually take 1 stone, 2stones with tick-tock and 3 stones with tick-tock-tiak . This will help you to gain 10 point for getting 1,2,3 + 10 points for tick-tock + 30 points for tick-tock-tiak. You can also take 2 stones with tick-tock, 4 stones with tick-tocktiak-tick. This will get you 10 points for tick-tock + 100 points for tick-tock-tiak-tick.
With this point counting system we can played up to few thousand points in a day. it’s fun…
Katakpuru,
I want to play 7 liap buah when i go back. Let’s plan on having a 7 liap buah event!
Thanks Lin Peh for the Chinese characters.
We used to play one leg a lot especially during Fridays as the class start only at 2.00 pm for the muslims to go to mosque. Anyone played spiders? I used to catch spiders a lot with my friends among the bushes that have two leaves stuck together. Kept them in match boxes and catch flies to feed them. We would fight them with other friend’s spiders to see which one win. Remember the female ones are usually bigger size and they are black in color. Also eat tee teng lea (nail cockle) after school in the evening when a Ah Pek came and park outside my school. 20 cents a plastic bag with lots of tee teng lea with a dash of soy sauce. Miss those carefree days when I was a kid.
Sure, we can play! We can even plan to have 7 liap buah to be played in public by many people and create the record in Malaysia Book of Record. Hahahaa… I remember played a lot of kalituei. I organized our own inter-housecompetition of kalituei as well because in form 4 we challenge between houses (blue, green, red and yellow houses) not only in sport day but also normal day in these games (kalituei, tiao gao dong sen, 7 liap buah etc)
