And yeahh I do agree that, old people are always judging & criticising the younger generations while worrying for Singapore's future.... But not ALL young are bad, there are obviously very good youths with bright futures. Similarly, I cant say all old people are good bc there are so MANY gangsters back in the 60s so... Should overgeneralised??

    Ok this is a cute experiment. The proverbial stoic unker meets a kid (who happens to be such a nice young man.) Kid is earnest and puts in effort to know the unker. And funnily the unker was saying "i thought it was part of the script but he actually invited me out of kindness". It's a rrly candid moment, imho. Also i thought the kid was sensible when he commented, "i don't want to tell him everything abt me. He might not even like me."

I'm still in school, studying right now, graduating soon,turning 21 in a few months time and just trying to be better,I got a girlfriend too over the few years and now we both just head over to bill's comic shop every once in awhile to get comics. Bill retired from the shop slightly after too and so I don't get to see him,but I talk to his friends there and they're really nice people, amazing people ❤️
