Courtesy

Maybe i have been with my Odacians for too long. Maybe its just me. However, i feel that the new bunch of people i have met have very little regards for courtesy. Or maybe its due to different family background or different culture, different age and maturity or even different lifestyle.

My bunch of Odacians have come to my house to stayover many many times. After eating, we will clear up the plates, empty the trash, wash the bowls, wipe the floor. We will make sure the family is as undisturbed as possible. We will ensure that we leave the place in the same condition as we came here. Is it because we are Odacians(Mr Lim taught us well?). But it couldnt because i notice the same thing with alvin and my other friends.

Not with this current bunch of friends. they treat themselves like kings and queens in other people's home. They expect things to be cleared for them, they expect the owner to serve them, they expect this, they expect that. late at night now, and i hear the demands of mahjong without the slightest hint of disturbing the family, i hear the noise level escalating without considering the number of people in bed(including our friends). ultimately, they lost my respect of them in this area.

Sometimes, spare a thought more for others. Dont be a spoilt brat.
