As part of this year corporate community's project, the committee has come up with the "adopt A child' program.
Employees are encourage to 'adopt' a child by granting at most three wishes to their children. If you asked me, I think the whole concept of 'adopting' is being misinterpret here. How could you adopt a child by just granting him/her three wishes and 'cuci tangan' (wham bam, thank you mem) after that? hmmm..
Anyway, that's not the point I wish to debate here. Two things that caught my attention, that compelled me (awww, how nice of me!), to shared them with you guys, my precious readerswhich lately are bum lazy to read without leaving any comment!.
Those 2 (two) things are: THE AMBITION and THE WISHES
Let's look at those wishes, shall we:
Standards wishes that we, the adopted parents, should fullfill: Stationery sets, exercise books, dictionary, geometry sets, clothings, scientific calculator etc.
Fine lah, even though I could have swear, when I was in school, we were not allowed to use calculator for Math. The only aid I had back then was the red 'Buku Log' (time table like) to calculate that trigonomety-thingy manually.
Plus, learning in bahasa, we also required to know all the silly terms like 'lokus dalam dua matra', 'teorem pithagoras', 'garis dan satah', 'penaakulan mantik', 'modus tollens' and 'modus ponens' (excuse me, but in Bahasa Utara, ponen is sissy, imagine the fun we had back there when our math teacher mentioned ponen) and much much more, which didnt make any sense back then (or even now).
To the higher extreme, this guy was asking for the microscope. I'm sure the price is not the issue here, but getting one might be. I have yet to see a microscope being sold anywhere, well, unless he meant the Toys R Us version :p
Then, enter the absurdity. Yonex? Nike? Have u heard a brand name Bata before? I thought that was untill I reached at his wish #3. Almost died of heart attack. Gee, need laptop to do your homework? Sorry hun, uncle doesnt even have a PC to do his actual work, let alone a laptop....pencil and paper will do your you :p
well, well, well, for a guy with no ambition, you sure asked a lot, arent ya?
=====================================
And as for the ambition (or lack thereof), gone is the day when they all want to be a teacher, bomba,corrupt policemen, ahli majlis tertinggi UMNO, or what not... here's what kids nowadays aspired to be:
A business man.. good good! :)
CEO!!! Even better. :)
Wah lau weh, psychologist. Repect that!!! Jangan jadi psycho sudah.
FORENSIC! Must be influenced by the CSI series. Anyway, you made this uncle proud ;)
Wartawan penyiaran (Anchor Woman)???? Ok lah.. Its still a job what..of course I wouldnt approve that, but hey, whatever makes you happy!
But then hoo.. come this hillarious girl with a sound backup plan shall her dream of becoming top Neurosergeon and/or oncologist foils:
....... freaking STEWARDESS!!!!!!! she's willing to trade her scrub for a kebaya...
Coffee or tea sir?
stewardess... hmmm.. neuro.... STEWARDESS... whyyyyy???
Sorry, bukan menghina pekerjaan itu, but from neurosurgeon to stewardess, very hard for me to digest... *let me get my aspirin*
