Look what we have become. Our lives constantly revolving around the internet. I wonder, are the kids these days dying to go out in the evening just to play with other friends? When I was young, I was only allowed to leave at 5:30pm and back by 7pm. But, the trouble with me, I love playing football so much that I usually sneak out at 4pm or so and then head home around 7:30pm, only to see mom waiting at home with a rotan. SIGH. I miss those days (but not the rotan!).

Oh the good old days of getting home from school and heading out for a game of footie with our buddies and hearing mom scream for us to get our butts in the house this very minute! LOL! And yeah, those rotan’s freak me out too
Oh and on a completely different subject, I noticed you’re an Arsenal fan, ya? Well, good for you cos I’m a loyal die hard fan myself but I’m not holding my breath for them to win anything this season though …

It seems to me our lives are pretty much controlled by screens of all kinds. Computers, TVs, hand-held computer games, screens on trains, screens on planes, satnavs… and so the list goes on.
My girls were allowed 30 minutes of TV every night when they were little. When we got a computer they were allowed an hour a day on that although more often than not they didn’t bother. By then they’d discovered that playing out and being with friends was far more satisfying.

Xander – Bad father figure. I’d just rather my future sons grow up respecting women and my future daughters grow up independent.
xin – Look what we have become!
Nick Phillips – Without the rotan, the childhood stories wouldn’t have been complete! LOL. Yes, I am an Arsenal fan, but I dislike the current team, aside from Van Persie, Fabregas, Sagna, Nasri & Clichy – the rest, we can dump them!
kaDusMama – Yabah, we might need to start Computerholics Anonymous, unfortunately, when it comes to computers, there’s no such thing as anonymous!
eshark – Childhood girlfriend? Ish, kecik kecik sudah pandai…ko tidak main bola sepak ka? Main bola lain la tu?
Sharon J – That is the way forward, setting time limits for our kids to be in front of the computer/TV, and encourage them to play outside! Nice one!
