For me it has to be the Yoyo.. i dont remember what makes me interested in them but i remember the first time i heard about the yoyo is during my elementary school day in the late 90's. I remember how me and few of my friend snuck out of the school gate just to buy yoyo from this shady dude with a sack full of handmade yoyo, cost us around RM2 i think for each.
Why i love this toy, cause i'm the best among all my friend, i was admired and treated with respect among my friend just because of this toy, i learn most of my tricks from one of my cousin who unexpectedly love this too, he even got a VHS of trickshots.
