Watwheels Supersonic January 22, 2013 Share January 22, 2013 (edited) It's sad to be old. Not only you loose your dignity as a human being you also loose your strength, your money, your hair, your looks, your teeth and even your erection.

Worst of all nobody would pat you on your back to praise you for all you have done to the country. How I wish I would gow old to be like hugh hefner. That is the price of mindless chase for economy growth that many of us forget about pple around us, especially the eldest and youngest. We also need to reflect at our own society today which will become more Japan-like in the near future. For starter, we can do more with some consideration for those older cleaners at our hawker center. A small effort of understanding and appreciation goes a long way for this people who should be in their Golden Age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
