My younger brother is now studying at NUS, 1st year and he is
now on his term break for 1 month plus. For all this while, he has
been staying at home either watch TV shows, playing games,
downloading movies and every other stuffs he can download
from the internet or basically just rot at home. This
computer will be working harder than him and my home
broadband has been hogged by his extensive
'exercise'. When it comes to meals, My mother will
prepare breakfast for him and buy dinner for him
daily. There was only 1 time I was surprise to
hear that he went out with his friend(s). Soon he is back
on his daily routine, till now. I remember during my
school days, I would be eagerly looking for a part time job to
spend my school break and at the same time, to earn some
extra income. Basically we are already too tired to tell him
to go and gain some working experience outside while having his
term break.
Recently I came across a newspaper article on the death of the
recruit and the officer cadet during their training. In the
article, the author did highlighted that the lifestyle of the
nowadays youngsters could be one of the causes of the deaths.
I look at my younger brother and asked myself; "If more and
more of the youngsters are having lifestyle like him,
will National Service be expecting more and more cases of
such 'sudden death' happening in the near future?" Luckily for
my younger brother, he has already 'geng' his way out of the
National Service. There is one thing I really impressed about him
is how he can 'geng' his way throughout the whole 2 years of
National Service and finally downgraded. Trust me, if you throw him
a M16 machine gun, he will be looking at you blankly.
I have friends who are studying Uni now but their attitudes are
totally opposite of my younger brother. I am wondering what do you
think of the lifestyle of the youngsters nowadays?
