The next generation thing.

Some time ago, not too long, I start to wonder how would our(my) generation bring up our(my) next generation?

In my generation,we're mostly the only child or only daughter/son. Lucky enough, you'll have a few siblings. 3 sounds good. Excluding yourself, you've an elder brother and a younger sister. To see a family with 4-5 children is very very rare. Still have, but, rare.  Come the next generation, I'm sure 2 is already an exaggerated number. Most couples will end up with 1 kid and the reason for that would be - raising one is tiring enough.

From the single statement answer alone, I can conclude several things. What does it mean by tiring? Obviously not the literal meaning of physical fatigue I'm sure. More of mental tiredness. 

Nowadays, younger parents (assuming both are educated) are putting a lot of emphasis on the growing up years of their only child (at most two). From as young as 2 years old, kids are sent to toddler-class preparing them for nursery. From there, the whole journey of education starts and will not stop till they're about 23 (for girls) and 25 (for the guys). 20 years of........learning, going through examinations and extra curriculum just for...a bright future. I would say, all these will just help you remain competitive in future because most children will have a bright future and the key factor is to remain competitive. Parents are tired because they've to make sure their children are competitive enough.

Take away academics, parents have to worry for their children's social life. Worry if their daughter is safe with her male friends and worry if their son is mixing around with the right company. All the continuous worrying is taxing on the parents' mental. Things get worse when parents found their children on the wrong track and trying very hard to get them on the right one. This usually happens during their teenage years - rebellious and stubborn. And, communication between parents and children start to fall in different frequency. Smart parents will try to minimise conflicts between them. Smarter parents will keep nagging to minimum and show their kids that they care; through one way or another. It is then parents will start to stress over how to maintain good relationship with their children and realise that their small lil boys and girls are no longer the same anymore. Dictating their lives is the last thing to do. Ah, parents are stressed.

And, the cost of bringing up a child is WAHHHH. And, the returns? HAI. 

Okay, I'm gonna watch my tv and destress. I feel stressed up just by writing about it. I'm sure that was me being a parent I was talking above.

Sheesh. 

Kids.......are.....scary.......monsters.

That IDIOT!

I need to find that idiot who buang-ed my dad's car don't know when......

MY CAR IS NEWWWWWWWWWWW PLEASEEEEE.

Who the hell did that?!?!!?

cannot drive properly mehhhhh.

I guess that idiot hit my dad's car when turning out from the carpark cos I parked the car at double yellow line.

Best part, my dad and I didnt realise anything until...when hg and elmo asked me about the dent. 

AHH.

screw you. 

I'll start looking out for cars in my carpark and see which car has scratch marks on its right front.

The Best So Far!

High School Musical 3 is a blast!

Screw that 2 stars ratings on papers.

It's so obvious that the movie easily deserves more than 4 stars.

I personally rated it 6/5.

That's how much I love that show.

AWESOME! 

It was brilliantly done up.

The chronographer choreographer of the show is a semi-genius!

Look at the amount of effort that went into the movie. 

The casts, the settings, the dance steps, the way they present it.

Everything is well done. Not so much of a storyline I'm talking about but rather, the feel and the whole presentation of the movie.

PERFECT. p-e-r-f-e-c-t!

I'm sure there's no lack of positive adjectives to describe the movie.

Say I'm a kid in me.. but, young children won't be able to enjoy the movie as much. 

If all this while HSM has been giving you the wrong impression of being childish or whatsoever bullcrap, scrape that mindset please.

Watch it and tell me again.

Love it and still loving it.

AHHHH. JUST WATCH IT!

Ask me to watch it again, I would.

=D

=D

=D

Something is Growing inside.

If headache can kill, I should be dead by now.

The pain is abnormal. I missed sch today as a result. First time in this sem!! I don't miss sch on thurs! 3 freakinggggg lectures. And, I can feel the pain AGAIN.

Screw it.

Food for Thought.

If you have taken the MRT recently, you would have seen billboards with questions to trigger your thoughts.

I'd my mind on this,

'Global warming: man-made or natural?'

The answer can be pretty unclear at this moment, but once you get it, it's right in your face.

pissed.

Secondary school boys who love to doze off during train rides please DO NOT sit next to me!

I don't have a spare shoulder for you!

Cannot stand it.

Was at grandma's place celebrating Claresse's 8th b'day.

Played with distant-aunt's baby boy and realised I love the company of babies to children. Babies are so much easier to look after in the sense that they only eat, shit, sleep and cry.

Children are horrifying monsters especially when boys are at the age of rebellion. That can be a disaster.

Exam is Monster.

Spent 5 hours tutoring my P5 cousins for their upcoming SA2. It was as though I'm the one going for the exam. I'd to teach them every single problem sums in their practice papers and to make sure they understood everything.

It was not easy.

The sums are easy for me. But to teach them is not. I almost puked blood all over.

I don't rmb myself going through such difficult times when I was a kid. Maths was never hard on me. To be fair, maths these days are alot harder. 

Told my dad that kids are using calculators to do maths and he said something quite funny..

"then maths now test about what?"

how true.

Back in those days, we just gotta keep showing workings. now they don't even have to write statement for problem sums.

This is no ending.

Ten years down, imagine our kids. And, I decided not to have any.

Durex will be a listed-company soon. (wait, is it listed already?)

It's time to bring them down!

I've a random urge to do a documentary on ugly singaporeans during peak hour.

But I thought I shouldn't be so mean...no matter how much those ugly ducklings deserve it.

I'm just gonna write an article about it and send it to the media.

I'll probably gonna focus alot on the "priority seat".

That sign is a paradox. 

With all these unsightly, yet interesting dramas going on during peak hour in the trains and also on the platforms, observing the crowd has become my interest and the perfect way to start a routine school day. 

Taking the train is never as boring anymore.

Now, I hardly fall asleep during train rides.

It's good writing material too.

My blog has hope!

Watch me write about...ugly train commuters soon!

And that would most likely happen...after my exams assuming I still have the kicks to write.

Oh!

Hamilton finally came in first for this season's F1 race! 

=D

hahaha.

i'm having so much fun playing with all the photos at photofunia.

=D

=D

get back to projects!!

=|

My family is growing Apples.

Recently, I click here with an empty mind.

I don't wanna talk about school. 

But what else can I talk about apart from sch which is the integral part of my life and my utmost concern now.

I'm getting annoyed with nothing to blog.

If only my life is more spiced up then I'll come here and talk about my new encounter with someone random, like an ONS. 

One day, one day. just you wait.

@#$%^

I need to go somewhere.

hmm..

by car, by bus, by train or by plane?

I need to go somewhere.

This is Shit.

I've a 6pages econs essay due next tues. (they uploaded the assignment ytd!)

trying to be funny.

Just finished my competitor study on coffee bean.

Midterms officially ended.

Once again, Bell Curve sucks!!!

For a 20marks MCQ-paper, the mean score can be as crazy as 19.5!!

#$%^&*#$%^&*@#$%^&*

Why is it always on the rise?

Goodness. I seriously wonder who is chalking up my handphone bill every month.

Did I msg you alot?

Who did I sent 1354 msges to every month?

Those hundreds minutes of talktime, did I call you all the time?

I'm always paying more than 3 times the price of my plan.

ridiculous.

Singtel changed my ringtone to color-me-tone and I gotta pay for it. I didn't even request for it in the first place.

To everyone, I'm not gonna msg, call or mms you for a month and see if my bill is still as high.

Why mug when you can slack?

I wasted the whole day not mugging when I don't have to celebrate Children's Day and Hari Raya.
