You only realize how pampered the kids are when you take their Astro channels from them. My kids are in Malacca for a quick trip and they called me on the phone telling me that they don't have the normal TV channels. No Ben 10 and all that.
It's a revelation to them that there is this TV station called TV Dua and here's what my son has to say about it.

Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media.
