Rude and ill-mannered

Youngster nowadays are so rude and incomprehensible.  I am talking about those Gen-Y going to college right now.  

See, I worked in a university.  I see many of them day in day out.  Everyday, there is something to talk about regarding their behaviour, attitude and what not.

Why does Gen-Y feels like they own the world?  Is it because of the upbringing?  Is it because the parents give them everything they wanted?  

I don't know what's wrong with them.  But I can see they are becoming society's burden.  Rude and foul-mouthed.  I asked myself, is this how I want my kid to be brought up?

I can make a list of their weird and strange behaviour which we at Gen-X would not understand.

1. After they have entered the lift, they don't keep the lift doors open.  Twice, I have been knocked when the lifts doors close while I was walking into the lift.  

2. They enjoyed chatting in a group and walk in a horizontal row.  They don't care if they blocked anyone.

3. Even if you are carrying a tray of hot food, they don't bother if they knock into you.  Their world is more important than anyone else.

4. They think everyone is at service for them.  Be it you are an employee, a cleaner or a manager.  They really do not care.

And so on and so on.

Just today, I was knocked on purpose by one of them.  He saw me walking towards him.  He was walking towards me.  I moved aside to let him pass.  He insisted on walking in the middle path and hence uses his arm to knock me.  On purpose.  Because there was ample place to walk on the side but he insisted that he needs to walk in the middle path.

Excuse me, I am 9 months pregnant for God's sake.  Anytime, I can deliver.  And this guy doesn't even comprehend my huge stomach or how pregnant I was.

While I do not like to generalise that all Gen-Ys are like this, but I have seen too many of it happening.  Especially those who has maid at home who does everything for them.  

I am sorry if this post hurt anyone.  But all I can say is, we the parents are spoiling them.  Hence it's our fault.  I hope I don't repeat the same mistakes that the parents did.  Because it's irreversible.  

Teach your children to respect elders.  Help out those in need.  Understand what it's like to be in other's shoes.  Teach them to be kind and compassionate.  Teach them to love and not hate.  Tell them foul language is very bad.  Teach them to be useful.  Share life with them, not just gadgets and stuff.

The list goes on and on.  I am hoping I can do all these with my kid.  Let's make it a trend to be nice and kind.  Not rude, ill-mannered and what not.

Sorry for the vent.  But I really cannot tahan people seeing you pregnant and knock on you on purpose.  It's almost like not offering a seat for you in the LRT.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
