playing with rubber seeds

in our childhood days, we used to go around looking for rubber seeds which were not hard to find. they are still not difficult to find even today. many of our nature parks were once rubber estates and there are still rubber trees in these parks. some of these parks are ang mo kio garden east, yishun, macritchie and bukit batok nature.

being the naughty and playful boys we were, we would rub the rubber seed on a hard floor until it was hot and immediately transferred the rubber seed onto our friend's body, usually aiming at the thigh, the arm or the neck. we would laugh with glee as we watched our unfortunate victim jumped up with a start, and screamed.

that was also how friends became enemies in the old days. some just could not appreciate this type of painful fun.
