Ye...zaitgha, thanks for the visit and the comments. Yes I too do learn a lot from my grands. Never underestimate the knowledge these kids have. Their minds are like sponge and absorbed what ever they see especially on TV and what they heard including from us. <BR/><BR/>On TV that day I related my experiences with another grandson who is just five years old. Azib is his name. He ask me why we did not fight the British and said that if he was born at that time he would have fought. I ask him how since we only had the Keris. He said that he would kill one enemy and take his gun and would fight. I was actually shock to hear what he said but accept the facts that he saw all these fights on TV and computer games. <BR/><BR/>I had to come with an answer quickly. I told him we need knowledge to use technology and he first has to go to school. I told him that with knowledge he could improve his Keris with laser. He just laugh and of course ask more questions. Well, that is the present kids, they are a better species of human then we are. <BR/><BR/>Its good to listen to them. By the time you become a Nenek yourself you would have plenty of questions to answer. So be prepared. Have a nice day and take care.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-34535522111247044662007-10-25T13:17:00.001+08:002007-10-25T13:17:00.001+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.zaitghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891046619257011245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-12129352664713710992007-10-25T13:17:00.000+08:002007-10-25T13:17:00.000+08:00when i read abt the nenek and grandson para, its r...when i read abt the nenek and grandson para, its reminded me of my son and me....i learned a lot from him though ....i wish i watched you on tv that day...zaitghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891046619257011245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-62921418274256907072007-10-25T12:49:00.000+08:002007-10-25T12:49:00.000+08:00mutalib, thanks for the visit and those kind words...mutalib, thanks for the visit and those kind words. We have to take one step a time. This is a new technology and as usual it takes time for the authority to understand it. <BR/><BR/>It is here to stay. Blogging and You tube are the new media for the dissemination of information to the masses. <BR/><BR/>Let us cross one bridge first and takes it from there.

I especially like ...Excellent comments, Pak Idrus. I especially like your emphasis on using the internet and blogging to bridge the generation gap. Most of our young in today's fast progressive world of science and technology view life and what it brings so differently from the old days when relationships, family, moral and bsic human values matter. If blogging serves to slow them down to consider what they are missing out on, why not. I congratulation you again on your contribution, Pak Idrus. Take care. :) By the way, someone commented on your looks, I have to agree. You cannot be 68! No grey hair, nor wrinkled hands!Rita Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777602037418303561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-86650031997121309262007-10-24T17:41:00.000+08:002007-10-24T17:41:00.000+08:00akmal, thanks for the return visit and I am indeed...akmal, thanks for the return visit and I am indeed glad that you are a blogger now.

Fi...Akmal, thanks for the visit and the kind words. First I am indeed glad to get a feedback from someone who saw the talk show. In that short period of times I tried to give as much and am glad that you got the message loud and clear. <BR/><BR/>You are from the generation of my grandchildren, a generation that was born and grew up during the time of our TDM, to me the father of modern Malaysia. A generation that are indeed lucky to have everything that a citizen need to improve oneself. <BR/><BR/>Most of my generation are the first grandpa and grandma who had education and literate. So we are able to pass down to your generation things that we got first hand. As you know history books are never hundred percent right. History is the product of the victor. <BR/><BR/>I am trying to pass on whatever I could, in a way of giving back to the society that gave me so much. <BR/><BR/>Do blog. In a way it help to do creative writing. Have a nice day and take care.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803753.post-41579723967046239762007-10-23T18:30:00.000+08:002007-10-23T18:30:00.000+08:00AssalamualaikumI'm very fresh around here.

Well, you really gave me the meaning of how a blog should be: not just a place where people say stuffs. I am not from your generation, in fact i'm barely twenty. I can see what do you mean about difference in generation doesn't cancel the responsibility in spreading out the knowledge we have in our mind, especially when people from your generation have vast experience of the previous years that i don't have the opportunity face. I am a student and i rarely online, but i think i should start with my own blog.(",).<BR/><BR/>By the way, you look great on TV.

More must be done to get people of our age group to blog. We all have so much to share with the present generation and if not done using the present technology, it would just go to waste. <BR/><BR/>Maybe we should think of getting the authority to conduct seminar on the subject of blogging and its effect on nation building.

We blog with responsibility and with respect to others. <BR/>Our future generations can learn from their elders. There is no need to reinvent the wheel any more since it is already there. Just improve on it and see how to use it the best way.<BR/>High time more elderly people embrace the internet as a mean of communication that will reduce the geographical divide. Via the internet, distance is not a constrain anymore.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.com
