Pampered

  I have always wondered about this question since I was a child. Why do elders, like our parents, always love to give us this sort of quote: "You're so pampered."?? How do we know whether we are pampered?? For all I know during my childhood, I wasn't pampered. For one, I always had to work to get what I want, and sometimes I won't get what I want. But as I got older, I finally realized what they meant by "being pampered". I've listed a few questions based on the olden-day stories that my elders have told me, and also based on my experience to determine (more or less) whether I'm actually being pampered. The list of questions (not in order) are as follows:

1. Do I have a roof over my head? - Yes

2. Do I have food on the table every single day? - Yes

3. Do I have my own room? - Yes

4. Do I have to slot hard just to live? - No

5. Do I have allowance every day? - Yes

6. Do I have my future secured? - Yes

7. Do I have to fork up my own money to pay bills? - No

8. Do I even have to pay bills? - No

9. Do I have to worry about my living state? - No

10. Do I have to take living responsibilities? - No

11. Do I usually get what I want? - Yes

  From the list of questions above, it's been concluded that I'm TOTALLY PAMPERED, because I NEVER had to take the responsibilities which my parents are actually taking. In fact, my parents bought a FREAKIN' huge condo for me so that I don't have to stay in a hostel. Not only that, they're even buying me a car so that I don't have to endanger myself everyday with public transports. They even give me an allowance of a few hundred bucks PER-WEEK so that I don't have to suffer here in the Big City. And for me to get these sort of luxury, my father had to be away from my family to get a higher-paying job, while my mum had to go back to the working world as a teacher. I feel so blessed, at the same time guilty. That is why, I am determined to repay them by studying hard and earning myself a high-paying career. :)

  So.... Are you being pampered?
