Spoilt teenagers of our generation

Just wanna write about 2 incidents which i came across recently..
Well.. It's kinda funny initially but then it's kinda sad to know that the young people these days are so spoilt by the comfortable living environment & took many things in life for granted.

Yesterday while i was in a supermarket's drinks section, this group of young guys walked into the aisle & someone suggested buying a 1.5litre bottle of soft drink since there were so many of them. Then one of them looked at the bottles lining the shelves & said 'Hahh! 不冷的,怎样喝?'
Hmm.. that goes to show that this guy is so spoilt, he can only consume cold drinks.
I wonder how can he survive army life... Surely there aren't chilled water available in the jungles. I think he's gotta die of thirst then. Lol.

A few weeks ago while i was waiting in the dental clinic..
2 young guys and their mum walked in, after their mum made enquiries about the waiting time at the reception (a long time cos the clinic's really packed that day), she turned to them and asked this question which stunned my mom & i. '你们会从这里回家吗?'
Hey! Those 2 aren't primary school kids, they are like secondary school students (at least sec 3?) both of them are of the same height & are dressed in a similar fashion, i think they're twins.
Their mom continued saying that she'd to attend some seminar and intend to let the 2 of them stay there to wait for their turn after having lunch by themselves. But she's concerned that they don't know the way home.
One of the brothers' immediate reply to the above question was '搭taxi la!'
I almost fainted, that means they really don't know how to go home from here.
Their mom continued to talk to them outside the clinic after failing to convince the brothers that they should learn to take a bus & blah blahblah.. Learn to solve their own problems..

10 min later i peeked out of the glass doors of the clinic in curiosity, their mom's still talking to them..
15 min later she's still talking, hmm i wonder whether the brothers are still listening by then..

My mom said 'In the end, the mother will stay with them.'
I didn't quite believe what my mom said initially, but it turned out to be true cos more than half an hour later, the 3 of them turned up at the clinic again.
Aye.. 天下父母心.. Only parents understand parents sometimes~
And that's precisely why the brothers can't grow up & be independent.. Their mom's showering way too much care on them.
Hmph... Those 2 teens are living such a pampered life!!! It's 2 of them, they'll have each other for company if they somehow lost their way in Singapore while taking buses. What's there to be afraid of?? Ghosts? Kidnappers?

That'll be a different case if it's a clueless girl with no sense of direction, trying to find the right bus to take her home at 1130pm. Needn't talk about that at the present moment.


Cloud just can't stand spoilt guys~
