HILL MYNA

Remember growing up.......... your grandmas house would usually have a BURUNG TIONG, the amount of time you would spend trying to teach it rude things to say......... and to hear it mimic peoples voices and sounds around it was much better than tv back then, well considering we only had tv from lunchtime only, or was it later than that, the time of borneo bulletins coming once a week........ where laserdisc machines were the THING!!!! and computers and mobile phones cost a BIG HUMUNGOUS BOMB..... hahahaha mobile batteries used to be the size of a briefcase.......

But my point is that, I want to get a burung tiong man for my little girl, but surprise surprise you cant get them anymore..... you need a license, u need a permit blah blah blah..... Yes yes, I agree they are endangered now and it is cruel and unkind to take them out of their habitats, blah blah blah....


But the burung tiong will always have a special place in my heart.......... So folks, presenting, the burung tiong, the HENGLAND name is Hill Myna.........

lets sit back and reminisce, bout nights walking up in front of the tv and watching the WHITE DOT(we didnt have programs on 24-7 back then), and to pagers and smileys, to GI Joe, He-man and She-ra, to Night Rider and the Misfits of Science(a very young Courtney Cox starred), to the Love Boat, to burung tiongs in almost every house.......... hahaha.........

I sometimes wonder about our children, they wanna grow up too fast too quickly. I wish they would understand that your childhood is the best, it gives you so many great memories..... now they want the latest games, computers and mobile phones, they're only ten and they want these things....... its scary, but I guess thats what happens with every new generation, they do things differently BUT I just cant help but worry...........
