Today is Youth Day, people!

Okay let me start off with something very frustrating.
Youth Day is supposed to be a day for youths.
And Children's Day is supposed to be a day for childrens.
But what I have observed is that every kid in Singapore gets a holiday during Youth Day.
And no Youths in Singapore are allowed a holiday on Children's Day.
I do not know your defination of 'Children' and 'Youth',
but I follow the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.

But first, in case you don't know,
Contemporary: belonging to the present time/modern
So I am using a valid dictionary. You cannot argue about that.

Children: -someone who is not yet an adult
-a son or daughter of any age
Youth: -the period of time when someone is young, especially the period when someone is a teenager

Notice 'not yet an adult'. So youths fall under this category because youths are only supposed to think and behave like a an adult. But how many actually do? Youths are still at the learning process of becoming and adult, that is why they are called youths, not adults. And the 'of any age', that means if you have or had a mother and father, you are still considered a child. So are you trying to say, by not giving youths a holiday on Children's Day, they do not have or never had parents? Then who is the woman who nags about everything and the man who reads newspapers all day in my house? They sound like parents to me.

Then, the youth defination. 'especially the period when someone is a teenager'. All youths are teenagers. But not all children are teenagers.

Teenager: someone who is in between 13 and 19 years old.

So those below the age of 13 and above the age of 19, are not teenagers. And therefore, not youths.

So to conclude this, Youths should be able to enjoy a holiday on Children's Day but people below 13 and above 19 should not have a holiday on Youth Day.

Busy with homework, I guess.

Anyways, let's update.

Sunday: Went to Angsana, Johor. Bought stuffs.

Today: Plans are to go Nadd house at 4pm to do the Total Defence Gold. And the rest of the holiday is to do homework. Oh, there is tution at 8pm.

Okay, I am done blogging. Thanks to the people who are reading, who have no life.
