Nostalgic over prosperity burgers

Today, I fulfilled one of my chinese new year resolutions.
Which is to eat a prosperity burger.

Anyway, while me and my classmates were munching into our hoard of cholesterol inducing food and Mcsizing ourselves, Yvonne suddenly mentioned that kids these days just arent as lucky as kids from our time.

wahseh, like so old lidat
but you know what, she has a point.

Then Erh continued by saying kids these days are lucky IF their parents are loaded.Cause people are so scared of letting their kids run free they lock them behind the doors and stuff them with all kinds of gadgets to keep them occupied.

Dulu: Get off the sofa and find something to do outside.
Now: Bored? heres a PsP. Now dont run outside and play ok?

The whole issue is so bad that even kids have become materialistic. Qiqi has a bratty cousin who rejected a doll she gave to that lil monster cause well, it wasnt BARBIE.

...........wtf. Got difference one meh?
She should have told the little monster that Barbie is divorced. Boohoo.

Guess it takes more to make those people happier now.
I mean, do you remember the fads during primary school?

• the shaker pens?

• the water drinking contests the boys used to have?

• and the burping contests? haha damn gross

• the pokemon cards?

• digimon stickers?

• tamagochi?

• gameboy?

• power rangers?

• and godforbid, sailormoon.

• the way your teacher would seat the boys with the girls to keep the class silent? yeah right it only works for like... a day?

• the way you hated the idoitic boy who sat next to you and you would tell him to keep within the imaginary line you drew across between the gap of the tables?

• the way the prefects would budge into your classes and act like pompous arses.

• the way your class monitor would write your name on the blackboard if you were noisy?

I was the class monitor for 3 years in primary. Haha, I still remember some of the few noisy people's names cause I wrote them everyday. Liang Jiun Jie, Kong Kang Hao and Ting Wen Hua wtf

• the way you would race to the school gate after school?

• the way your bag used to weigh more than you?

I suppose it didnt take much to make us happier when we were younger. We believed more, criticized less. We used to believe that imagination was cooler than sarcasm. It didnt matter at all if you were clad in kikilala or lalakiki. We used to believe that ice cream was the antidote to all problems and that where babies come from was a fascinating question..

eh wait, we STILL think that is fascinating question! lol

On another note, heres a conversation I had today:

Me:How come the prosperity burger this year not so delicious one?
Qiqi: Maybe cause when you were younger, you were happy to believe that anything from McDonalds is delicious.
