Children

Children are so innocent. That's why we must take advantage of their innocence.

When I have my own children one day, you betcha that I'm going to buy clothes for my kids from Wal-mart or the Malaysian version of it which is "Kamdar". Why waste so much money on a kid by buying them clothes from designers such as baby gap?

Bazir duit. Waste of money. Petuih*.

These kids got to know where they come from, they are going to come from middle class parents such as myself who would rather save up money to upgrade my car spoiler than see it go to utter waste by buying them Adidas shoes. Please la.

Kids don't know designers. They don't go judging their classmates from school by who has the more up-to-date handbag or who is wearing the new fall collection of clothing. All they know at that age is that "my shirt is clean" or "this shirt is baby blue" or "I love this color more mommy!" and that's about it.

Of course, when they grow up they might wonder how they were treated when they were little children. They won't remember their childhood (unless it was really bad like for instance if you abuse your child). So how do we create this facade that they had a good childhood and that we gave the best care for them? Easy. Take a picture once in awhile of your child wearing nice clothes. They don't even have to be the child's clothes, just some clothes that you borrowed somewhere or something.

A child is a child. Just feed the kid. Cloth him in average or lower than average clothing. Make sure you brush his teeth and make him take a shower at least once a day. And make sure the kid is potty trained. Done. You are a magnificient parent.

Exactly as Tun M took care of us ...told us to sit at the corner and shutup...and look at us now, all bright eyed and bushy tailed and raring to take on the world (not!)

We can't even compete with Thailand on the education scene let alone being able to generate world class academics.

Those who have excelled for a vast majority did not do it with Malaysian public schooling!

Wassalam

P.S I am an exception to that last statement ;=)
