Old folks these days...

I was planned to swimming at this afternoon. But due to my laziness to wash the swimming suits, I decided to go for jogging. Once I reached Bulatan Park, I saw all the old folks holding an umbrella while jogging. Looks like jogging with an umbrella has become a trend. Luckily there were youngsters like me jogging with empty hands, otherewise I'll be an alien at the scene.

Just a few minutes before I went home, it started to drizzle. All the old folks opened their umbrella and I was totally speechless. Well, actually this is what we called old folk's wisdom. It is the wisdom that the youngsters never want to learn.

Many of us often look down on the old folk's stamina. You will know that you are wrong when you saw how the old folks 'exercise', especially when you go for jungle trekking at Canada hill. In my opinion, it is more suitable to call 'jungle jogging' for the old folks. You can't imagine how they run in the jungle. I actually felt quite embarassed when saw the old folks overtake me and disappeared just in seconds. I still remembered the my first time jungle trekking with my sisters at Canada hill, we did not know the right tracks. So we decided to follow at the back of an old man and his daughter. Just like what I mentioned, they disappeared in seconds and we had spend more than an hour to find the track out ( normal time will be 20~30min). My friend, who had similar experience, told me he met an aunty with a leg a little difficulties said"年轻人,第一次啊?". He felt so embarassed because even an aunty got a little "bai ka" also can walk faster than him.
Old folks these days... sigh... really geng ah!! Do not look down on them or you will regret.
