The Good Old Days?

Just came home from a b'day dinner with another family at Tai Thong Restaurant or Imperial Palace Restauran. It was a great meal, ate to my stomach's satisfaction!! Man, had dinner, now typing this entry, while tomorrow mid-term exam awaits me, and i have a couple of assignments haven't type out yet...

Physically i feel tired and lethargic, been taking a medicine, probably the side effect is drowsiness, today i came home and slept a 3 hour nap..Eczema taking a turn for the worse, and not only that, i seem to suffer from other physical illness which seems puzzling to me, sigh, can't concentrate, can't do much without feeling uncomfortable one way or the other.

So, can you people pray for me please? desperately need healing.

Aside from that, my project i was talking a few entries earlier is coming to place, sent in the letter to the hospital today, and we'll start this thursday. Thanks to those who gladly helping me out in gathering some materials! i'm sure the kids will be much blessed by you all.

Now come to my main tpic of the day. As i was sitting listening to the adults' coversation, they kept talking about how good the old days were, no doubt i must admit that the old days really was cool, as in, education system was top notch, it was safer, environment was great etc. etc. Yet i couldn't help but feel annoyed when they kept saying how MY generation was this and that.

Case in point- They say they used to get themselves dirty and catch bugs and stuff to rear, then they went on to say how we don't wanna get dirty and stuff. Mind you, i kept spiders and others before, i played in muds, i went fishing and all the things THEY claimed they did as a child and we didn't do. Just because i'm afirad of cockroaches doesn't mean i don't touch other bugs and go get dirty.

Another thing that i was most annoyed by this person who said,quote," Our education system was British, now the spm and stpm papers are worthless." end of quote. I beg to differ!! Maybe spm standards has dropped quite badly, if i can get A1 for add maths, anyone can too. But Stpm is something that still has standards.

I just dislike the fact they think we're sooooo useless and sooo caught up with luxury, well, i can't say for sure all my peers likes doing outdoor stuff, i can safely say most of us still like to sweat, do stuff that doesn't involve air-conds. Plus, the weather now is horrible, the roads are unsafe even in broad daylight, it is the parents who refuses to let us go do our stuff, it is also wise to be careful, so things changed, for better or worse they did, so no point in dissing my generation, i guess adults like it.

I pray i won't end up like them, talkibg bad bout the new generation, if it's anything at all, i'll just say i'm old, and i like being old, the kids can go destroy themselves for all i care.
Ha!!
