Random Rant, again.

As I read a column in the news paper today, I was quite sadden to agree that life nowadays are a-changing. No longer do we live in that simple world that I use to be, or at least I can proudly say I live to see the change in the world, the entry of the electronic media.
I don't know much about you guys out there, but my childhood memories are filled with bicycle rides, pebble throwing, hopscotch, shuttlecocks, badminton, spinning tops and a lot more us budak kampung would do. I don't really blame the changing of trend, I blame the consequences of such change, and while I'm at it, let me hit out some points that I find disgusting to the core.
Long ago, during my childhood days, we look forward to November the first if my memory serves me well. Well, it's a special day for us children to commemorate the National Children Day, where we get little goodies from our good old teacher, celebrated and played and enjoyed like no tomorrow. It was certainly one of the best days in schooling life. Along came chocolate biscuits, jellies, candies and chips, and all that for being a child. Life certainly was good back then. We also had competitions, decorations, parties and what not, fun.
What I do see now, is shame, SHAME I TELL YOU! For, no longer are Children Day being celebrated as it is meant to. No longer do children get to play like they use to. The simple life has become something so complex that even I as an adult now can barely understand. Where were the days where we played skipping ropes? Do children nowadays even know how to spin a traditional top? Are they capable of shooting bottle caps? (the metal ones, duh.. plastics are for sissies)
What I'm trying to say is, the Children Day is no longer a day where children experience fun, but more of a day where we are reminded of a Child's Right. No longer are they safe, or free to enjoy. No longer are there celebrations. It's just national level act on the Child's Right, which I think is WRONG! Who could imagine such a drastic change took place and ruined the childhood nowadays? Electronic medias are now the tops, the skipping ropes, the bicycles, the shuttlecocks, the badminton, the bottle caps, the hopscotch, the five stones and the ice cream sticks that I used to play back in the 90s. 20 years down the road, and a new saga is born. For better or for worse, no one is to tell. Rampant cases of abuse, torture and trafficking of children plagued the newspapers almost on a daily diet enough to make me feel sick. The beast in sheep's hide should be eliminated as soon and as swiftly as possible. 人诛 if not 天诛.
