Generation TOF

Generation TOF.
TOF stands for teenagers of today. Just wanna share my comments as I guess some of my gfs who have younger kids like me, will be facing this problem, say, 8-10 yrs from now?! =)

I was on a SBS bus going to fetch my son after school. A group of sec sch kids around 5-6 of them- boys & gals boarded the bus. I was seated at the last few row. They headed straight to the back seat. Once they plonked their bums onto the seats, they yak so loudly as if the other passengers were transparent. Me, of course can hear their conversation so clearly. "Bu ting bai bu ting" mah plus kpoh as well la..... Lol.

Anyway heard them yaking abt NKF- all bullsh**, kanna 'sah boh' , kanna 'sai' etc
made all sorts of "teenager's philosophy" I was smiling to myself. One gal trying to talk like Hannah Montana wif ang moh slang....Aiyo dear gal pls spare my ears!!! >.<
Another one suggested to jio her kakis go Geylang on wkn.
I was like, hmm: "Of all place jio friends go Geylang?? Whatever for?"
"To eat durian lah, u think what"...she rebutted her guyfriend. OmG.....

Teenagers are also good, I mean they are very good, at using codes to shorten a sentence. Like TBC= to be confirm, emo= emotion, wtH= what the he** to name a few. I'm trying to think back on my sec sch days if i was like those kidz....i do hang outs after school, i do chat on public bus but some how I feel, I see and I hear, it was very different as compared to my time. Cannot imagine what our own kids will be like when they become teens. A real challenge indeed!

Well I m not saying that teens now are bad. Perhaps its the education system of today that may have created it. Now I hardly hear abt schs teaching "Hao Gong Ming" - civic & morale education. The teenage world is really vast & complicated. I do have a few teen friends and also go into their blogsite to read their posts. That's where I learn and get to understand their needs, their passion and their way of 'surviving' in their own little planet. I guess teen now are very bless wif High-tec computers, hp, blogging, Msn and what nots. Our time, hanging out at Mac was consider 'naughty' liao. Haiz....agree?

No matter what, life goes on...I am happy for what I am and I m gald to have passed my teenager age, esp schwork, hahaha....No offence teens, I still luv u guyz!
