Who says kids nowadays are getting worse in attitude?
Kids do possess moral values if they were imparted with the right values

Dressed in SAF army uniform, i was waiting for bus at the bus stop as usual this morning
didnt notice there were 2 school children around me, waiting for bus too
probably still in my dreams
they're about 7 to 8 years old
i know they're glancing towards my direction, but i didnt bother

they finally approached me after repeated glances
one of them opened and showed me his palm
on his palm there's one 5 cent, one 10 cents and one 1 dollar coins
his hand was shivering. Anxious.

me: "huh?"
boy: "i found these on the bus stop seat kor kor"
me: -looking at the coins, stunned for a moment- "oh then you keep it lo"
boy: "thank you kor kor"
me: "gong xi fa cai"
boy: "?!"

they walked away happily, with a wide grin on their faces
$1.15 might be just a small amount to us
but for school kids like them (where most schoolkids faces shortage of pocket money)
$1.15 certainly means alot to them

this small sum shall serve as a reward to them for their honesty

Life everyday is so hectic and rush
I cant even find time to think and plan about my future.
rest is never enough; entertainment/leisure time is insignificant

I need a life.
