sad

I love my brother so much that I think about buying things for him a lot, even when he doesn't ask me too. I am only thankful he's not a spoilt 15 year old. I am thankful too, that I am employed.

While I was queuing up to pay for my purchases at Popular Bookstore, I heard 3 kids pleading with their mother to buy stationery for them. I pitied the mum when I saw the amount of stationery in their shopping baskets.

I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness for the parents who are unemployed and parents who only earn enough to put food on the table. Most parents who are poor materially mostly do not have high education. They are proud that their children are still in school. Coupled with the fact that they love their children much, not being able to buy what their children want must have broken their hearts. So sad hor.
