今日同同事一齊食晏嘅時候, 見到有班中學生, 搵到張檯後, 頭都唔擰就咁坐低喇.. 我覺得哩, 而家啲學生真係有錢兼幸福囉.. 點解咁講呢?? 因為呢度食一餐, 閑閑地都要十幾廿蚊, 想當年我一個星期零用錢都係咁上下咋(仲要係搭車食嘢雜費全包嗰隻), 佢哋竟然可以眼都唔眨下就一餐洗晒..

仲有啊, 以前我哋去嘛嘛檔飲杯茶都要諗過度過, 但係而家啲學生哩, 拎住杯星巴克完全係若無其事架.. 唔好話以前喇, 其實今時今日, 我都覺得十幾蚊一杯咖啡真係攞我命囉.. 仲有快餐店啊, 以前儲夠錢一個月都係去得一次咁大把, 但係而家, 啲學生去快餐店係唔係仲頻過去書店吖?? 話是話, 以前啲漢堡包好似大成倍咁多囉~~
was having lunch with colleague this afternoon, when i saw a gang of students came in, found a table and immediately sat down without hesitation.. i immediately think that students nowadays are indeed very rich and spoilt.. why did i say so?? because eating in this restaurant would cost close to RM20, it's like my one-week pocket money (inclusive of all meals, transport and misc expenses) back in my student days, but they can now use up the money in one single meal..

i can remember back in the old days, i still need to think hard and calculate carefully before i can even go for a drink at the mamak, but now, holding a starbucks in their hand is just nothing but common.. not to mention back in the good old days, but even now that i still think a cup of coffee at almost RM15 is actually very expensive!!

and what else, fast food chains maybe.. remember i'd have to save up for the entire month before i could have just enough money for a basic burger, but now don't you think the students actually frequent McD more than they ever go to the bookstores?? and not to mention, burgers were almost double the size of the ones we can get now..
