This is 'tikam', if you still remember.

I had the the same Game Boy and still keep it at home! I think I can also open a museum like this with the stuff I still have with me. Hahaha.

The oldest toy in the museum is the Victorian Era Triangle Horse which is handcrafted from wood made in the 1800s

I was a Dumex baby!

I was not the only one getting all excited to see the toys once were my favourite, but so did my mom and aunty. They pointed out every toys and rides they used to play and excitingly told us stories on their childhood. My husband got his hands on almost every toys that are available to play with. But my little cousin who was born in 1995 has the least memories of the toys. But she enjoyed the visit anyway. And enjoyed making fun of "our" toys.
