      [quote=\"dimsum\"]Yes, I had stumbled across some young mummies' blogs for their babies and gosh! The F words and other vulgarities were used freely too!!


      Honestly, I'm less disturbed by the language than the message she was trying to bring across - that people only care about a person's death out of hypocrisy. It's too cynical a view for a young soul to put forth.

      Same. I'm stunned by her cynicism. Is it the generational gap? Are our young so lost different from us?

      There is a post in which she complained about having spent $21.5 for cabfare to the poly, but it was for the wrong day, so she felt she should get some compensation. Why this sense of entitlement? She could be that teacher who sued MOE all over again.[/quote]Can anybody share what did she write in the first place that led many people say that she is insensitive? Read her apology letter but still :?

        Scenario one - Overheard at McD drive-in - young girl asked her bf: \"why stupid McD breakfast extend only until 12 noon during weekends? We were out all night and I want to sleep in and eat breakfast at 3pm, cannot meh?\"

        Scenario two - I wanted to take leave and my boss said to me: \"your leave is an entitlement, not a privilege, please don't abuse it.\"

        Wait till these youngsters grow up and waddle waist deep in corporate bs.

              Breakfast at 3pm ? :x This girl is beyond hope...she is the stupid one, not McDonald's. She should be eating TUNCH - lunch and tea.

                hahaha, Last weekend, I wanted to buy a lunch meal for my gal at 1130 and McD told me, sorry , breakfast ends at 12pm on weekends. I was like, why? used to be 11am right? Why would anyone buy breakfast at 11 plus? Now I really see the generation gap. The early bird which catches the worm is dead. :rotflmao:

                  I wouldn't be eating breakfast meal at 11am...would prefer something 'heavier'.

                      best for both groups if McDonald’s can serve both breakfast & lunch between 11am to 12pm.

                        This 'sleep late and wake up late' syndrome seems to be the lifestyle of many youngsters nowadays..many of my friends' teenaged kids are doing that...they give the excuse that they are the generation Y and it's their lifestyle...We need to accept their way of living! :?


                        I, for one, will not buy this argument... I still believe in 早睡早起,身体好!

                        This lifestyle will likely to take its toll on the youngsters' health in the years to come :lol:
