I've wondered how did today's parents deal with problems today's teenagers face.. until I remember that it's the computer age, a new kind of leisure and relaxation is formed. Last time (not very long ago actually), they didn't have computers or coloured TVs and all that. So I feel it's very unfair when they chide us for spending too much time on it and becoming addicted to it. Some of us aren't even leeched onto the computer like they think! And then when they chance upon their children's blogs they happen to see things like "___ sucks" or they just lament about daily life and the problems their families are facing, which is ironic because they're talking about the people who are reading their blogs. Whose fault is it? I have no idea. On the other hand, when the parents request to read their children's blog, the child doesn't feel comfortable letting them do that, because of this simple reason - privacy. So instead of preventing their parents from reading their blogs, it has the opposite effect! The skeptical parents suspect something is amiss and wonder if the children are talking about them and then go online to read it every single day of their lives. Whose fault is it? This isn't even a question of whose at fault.. How would you like it if I looked into your diary even when you declined my request to do so? It's simple as a word - privacy. How come people just don't get that? To make things short, the adults use the computer for work and end up disliking it while their children turn to it for games and end up liking it. They should have seminars for adults and children about understanding each other better in terms of the computer. Seriously.


Skipping the above if you want, I shall move on to my life now.

So.. The first two days of school were quite expected and.. same. Everything seemed the same to me, except that I was sec 4. Oh crap.. O levels. I have 3 new teachers this year for the O level subjects - English, Literature, Physics. Gotta read To Kill A Mockingbird.

On a lighter note,
1) Jas and I are getting (fanmade) Alice Cullen chokers!
2) I have (finally, I know) decided on Leah as my English name. No more changes. :D Btw, the name's got nothing at all to do with Twilight.
3) I am going to be sweeeeeet 16 this year, woohoo!
