I want to sleep in so badly today, but I was out by 6.30am. There was a football tournament between under-18 clubs from Klang Valley, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and even Malacca. The Miss Soccer finalists were invited to the opening ceremony. Hence, duty calls - no sleep for me.
I witnessed something which made me realise the vast difference between kids these days, and my generation. Not that it ain't perspicuous enough through my daily observations. Back in my schooling days, we were taught to respect the National Anthem by standing still no matter when and where it is played. We were conditioned to do so, and till today most of my friends and I still practise the act of doing so, although some barely remember the lyrics to Negaraku. I have the National Anthem memorized by heart, obviously.
During the officiating ceremony this morning, Negaraku was played, as usual. From afar I saw boys running and walking across the field when the anthem was being played. I recall having to halt and didn't even there to move when the anthem started playing, even though I was late for assembly and stood outside the school hall. Kids these days have no respect at all. Don't get me started on the younger generation showing respect to the elderly. pffft!
On Tuesday, the UIU delegates bought pizza and partied with us outside Fayette House. The Americans are crazy, and they know it! For some reason, I think I'm getting pretty emotional lately, especially pondering upon the fact that I will be graduating soon. Mingling around with these freshies made me wonder about
my very first semester; when I first knew Dr. D! He did a short breakdancing stint for us after all that pizza. Impressive!! The comments on the facebook video are simply hilarious.
