thoughts.

i wonder why people want their parents to fetch them up and down when they can travel themselves. apart from those who stays in private houses, having to walk deep deep down into the estate before getting home,or those who stays relatively far away from the bus stop/ train stations, or some unforeseen circumstances where quick transportation is needed, i really dont understand why people demand that their parents fetch them. after asking a few, their answers are firstly, lazy. secondly, tired. thirdly, faster. fourthly, more convenient. but i dont see any of these as a reason good enough. if you're lazy, why cant your parents be lazy as well? if you're tired, arent your parents tired too? if it's faster, wont it be slower for your parents cause they've to make a detour just to send you to whereever? if it's convenient for you, wont it inconvenient your parents because they've to go out of the way just to give you a lift? i admit i was like that when i was younger. i never did need to take any form of public transport. but, i've stopped. especially this year. once in a while, yes, because of time constrain or rain. but not on a daily nor weekly basis. not. at. all. it's not that my parents love me less than any of theirs do, but i think they deserve their fair bit of rest. it pains me to see them waking up earlier to just fetch me to school, or having to come home slightly later just to pick me home when they can rest for a little longer. they've their rights to do whatever they want to instead of ferrying me around. what do i deserve that any way? cause i'm their little princess? sorry, no. i am still their little gem though i dont get ferried around. they're getting old, at least my parents are. they need to rest too. working and doing house work is bad enough. having them fetch me is already a benefit for me. so, i demand no more from them.. perhaps people should think for their parents rather than for themselves alone..

next, i realised im really fortunate. after hearing stories about how poor people are, i really must must must admit that i'm so much better off than them. i dont have any financial difficulties, i have whatever i want, i get to learn what i want to and i have a complete family with loving parents and brother and not much family problems except some bickering here and there. what more can i ask for? my parents have provided me with a house to stay in, my room to myself, a personal computer, a personal tv, a phone, good food to eat, sufficient allowance to live, alot of freedom and so much more. i have friends that love and care for me, friends to play sports with, friends to do heart-to-heart talks with, friends to eat with, play with, spend time with, talk rubbish, study with, travel with, complain to, fool around with, meet with and most importantly, pray with. i cant imagine life without any of them.. wow, wonderful life i have, i really have to say.
