My previous post has somewhat sparkd me to blog about this. It's true what they say that idea comes when u least expect it. Heh? True-ISH.
Anyway..when I was growing up where money is limited; iv bn told so many times if I want something I have to earn it. Like I remember when I really wanted to get my hands on the new smash hit magazine which cost about RM11 back then, I helpd my aunt selling "kuih" and save like whatever she gave me at the end of the day. I was kinda embarassed when my classmate saw me and stuff but nothing beats the joy of getting my hands on the mags! woohoo! I remember letting it wrapped in the plastic bag and only opened it after I cleaned up. I guess it's the process of how u get it is the highlight of everything.
Why I want to blog about this is because kids nowadays got it easy! I'm not blogging about this just because I had a rough time growing up and not because I'm comparing the life of the rich and poor. It's simply because IMHO they don't earn anything they got. Most kids in town nowadays carry a handphone (and not just any handphone) which I only have when I first started working. And partly I'm blaming the parents for this. I know a lot of ppl don't agree with me on this. Handphone is a necesity nowadays, I bet they'r gonna say that but that's not the point of this matter. It's how rather than what. It's really hard for the kids to be independant when parents are acting like the genie in a bottle. And I'm also not denying the fact that the time now is different than when I was a 10 y.o. The pace of life is rapidly changing and we are fed with what we could have on tvc every single day!
Well, Im not done with stressing my point here yet. Il be visiting this post sometime soon
Good nite people. (I'm wondering what happen to that smash hit magazine now?)
