So in this episode of Singaporeans Try,
you will be trying, 90's kids school creations.
Yes! 90's kids! Whoo! 90's kids school creations?
I remember when I was in primary school it's like you put the eraser then you put like the stapler bullets around,
as in at the back.
Then you spin it like a Beyblade.
Never did that before.
Huh? Really ah?
What is that?
The one you fold the paper then you open like that.
The flower one. Oh my god, yea.
Then you choose which part then you open another.
Yea! Are you really doing that?
I've never done it in my life!
Oh!
Is this the one where you got to spin?
Yes!
Huh?! What is that?
It's the one where you stapler like the bottom and then you gotta spin.
And then see who's eraser last longer.
Oh, I have never played this game in my life, I swear. Really?
I feel like from my memory,
you supposed to make like, like this right,
like checkered like that, I think is like this then like this.
Like that right...
Ah, then?
And then you make it into a star, like that. On top, oh.
Okay, that makes sense.
That makes sense, okay, okay.
Maybe I do different tactic from you.
Maybe I do like in the centre.
Oh wait, oh my god.
Is it supposed to be in the centre?
Wait, is it?
Let me just try.
Nope.
Is it I put too much?
No, you must make it like...
Flat.
No, no. It's not flat.
No!
Oh.
I try first, I try first.
Ah, like that.
Oh. Interesting.
No, you must balance it out, I think.
Oh my god.
Then you can like, colour, colour inside right,
then like can actually form patterns when you spin.
Are you serious?
Ya.
Actually, you can do it with just 3 stapler bullets.
Huh?! Are you serious?
Ya.
So it's like...
Oh!
Oh I know! I know!
You put then you must pull out.
Pull a bit.
Let's see if it works.
Oh!
Does this count?

Can I just keep it and put on my table?
In my pocket it goes!
Why your scissors bigger than mine?
I demand equality!
Rubber band...
Paper...
Aeroplane.
Nope.
I don't know what to do eh.
Oh my god! Is it the fling the paper one?
It's like you use the paper to fold like a little bullet,
and then you just use the paper to like flick it.
But like, I feel like my bullet very big eh.
This is the bullet?
I know, I know, I know.
You just cut small pieces... Ya, right.
And then you shoot the small pieces.
Then you cut a small strip.
Like that, correct. Oh.

Ya, must fold half.
Cause' you want to make the line so you can see. Okay.
I wonder really like, who thought of it eh.
If they actually like, "Stop it! Like stop disturbing me!"
Eh hey, then they hear,
then the girl like, "Eh?"
Then suddenly they like, "Oh..."
Wait ah, fold half first. Is it must make the line?
Ya, create the line first.
Fold up.
To the middle line. Okay.
Hold on ah.
Then how to make sound?
Is it on people?
My arm gonna fly off.
Oh my god.

Why you cannot?!
Do you feel me?
I don't know why it doesn't work.
*Obama out*
♪Mic drop♪
Oh!

No, I think it's quite creative to a point whereby they actually like,
think about trapping the air and all...
Yasia.
It's science!
If you need to like de-stress right?
Ape(what)?
Uh...
You give me pen for what?
Okay, we're gonna be making a pen gun.
What?
What's a pen gun?
So just throw at somebody?
No.

No, I never play this before. Shanice also never?
I don't think so.
Okay, this is the example.
Oh.
So you press it like that then you like, can just shoot.
I do not remember this.
Oh! Oh!
What was that?!
We need to like, get the spring out.
How do we get the spring out though?
Ah ha.
Eh, why got white colour thing?
Where's that thingy from?
Oh, it's from the inside here.
Oh ya, so must get it.
Ah there.
Oh.
Yay! I'm not so useless afterall.
Oh yes.
Put this,
then your spring,
then your this.
Then after that, they will lock.
So then just...
Wait, how do you get thing thing-
Wow! So fun!
Oh!
Wait, I don't understand!
Ready? 1, 2, 3.
Wah!
Okay, it's literally flying everywhere.
Press harder, press very hard.
Oh!
Ah.
Now we need to pick everything up.
Okay, so what your thoughts on all these different creations that you've done today?
Very creative.
I think it's very interesting how like,
such little items right,
can be something fun.
I think like these kind of games is very affordable.
What S.E.S(socio-economic status) you are at right, you can still play one.
So, it kind of brings everybody together in a sense.
That's true. That is true.
Ya.
It's really fun.
I mean, it's the kind of things that I feel like I would pass it down to future generations.
Cause' these are the things that remind you of like, easy, no frills kind of fun.
Okay, So which is your favourite?
Ooh.
I like this one eh.
Because friends.
Yes.
Forever.
*Aww*
The paper bullet. Cause' it's so simple.
And it's very, like good satisfaction.
And you can use it for a lot of different ways.
I really like the paper popper because it's very simple.
It's literally just a piece of paper.
And then just fold, fold, fold.
And then just like *ploop, ploop, ploop*.
Yea.
This.
The low S.E.S fidget spinner.
Like, I swear.
I'm gonna be doing this at my table like everyday, I swear.
The eraser.
Because it's very simple.
Plus you can like, customise, d.i.y(do it yourself),
and spin spin spin and challenge some other person.
Do you think students nowadays still make all these?
I think they still do you know why?
Because my rationale behind it is that in school, you cannot use your phone.
So you make do with whatever you have, your stationery you have.
So, maybe they do still play it?
I'll be sad if next time like,
like let's say our children right,
then when we say, "Eh, last time I used to play this."
Then they'll be like, "What?"
