This week is school holidays. The two older boys are playing computers and attending extra classes in school. School does not stop during holiday. It is very different in Canada. In Canada, holiday is "real". No homework or assignments. Plans for trips usually do not get disrupted. Holiday is time for family, part-time employment, sports, working around the house(maintenance) and vegetating(do nothing:)).
We are in a non-stop rat race. Any one falling by the wayside will have to dropout. We celebrate success, wealth, power and all visible signs of material accumulation. Rare do we publicize acts of compassion, charity and kindness. Straits Times Interactive should have a Act of Kindness site like Toronto Star.
