There used to be a time, where kids or men proclaim that they are rugged enough to live in this World. I guess that time is either slowing down or dying off each generation. I have this mentality that parents who oppose their kids to joining certain activities (meaningful activities), had a bad history with it.

I may not be parent yet, however seeing kids this days. I do not know whether to envy them for their comfort of living or pity them for what is to come for them in a worst-case scenario situation. I stand by the fact that kids needs to be expose to outdoor living and stuff so as to get used to the environment. And I strongly oppose the pampering of kids by resisting them or brainwashing them to be computer geeks (no offence, really).

True enough, based on the past year of medical incidents of Army life adaptation as well as sports activities... I wonder, will the human race be complacent in their lives? My seniors and elders told me about how their Army life were and the war stories... I trusted them about the hardship and sacrifice that they had to made. Comparing then and now... I do not know how to react to this.

Well, being a leader, seeing parents defending their kids at weird moments... I wonder how effective are they parenting their kids to be strong humans that can withstand different situations in life.

The old challenge: Street Smart V.S. Bookworms... who shall prevail.

Well... I disagree with many things especially with the current education system. This has been a topic for many years and the situation seems to be from bad to worse. The topic on School Holidays. I respect the choice of the school to have enrichment lessons for kids who needs assistance as well as other matters... however shouldn't these be part of the lesson plan by teachers? If not, why the need to do lesson plans for their teaching schedule each year?

The new CCA will soon be Enrichment and Remedial instead of the current sports, uniform groups, musical or clubs. Why? Simply, the focus are on academics, academics, academics... yes, we need the paper!!

Paper, paper, paper... isn't it just prove that we have been there, done that, achieve it and be Eligible for it... reminder! The word is eligible but not guarantee. So what's your take...

The new challenge: Moral, Values, Survivability V.S. Papers.

Well... it only takes a spark to keep the fire going... so how do we continue to have a balance of both and yet, stay sane in this World?
