Times has changed.

Back then, when I was still a young kid, mum used to say that when I grow up, I should work with a company who provides you a company car. Because then, dad was provided with a company car to travel about, and I guess, being an Engineer, that's the nature of his work. However, now, when I've started working, and was given the privilege of a company car, my mum went all.., "Hah..why give lauya car one? Cheh."
When I was younger, when laptops just started making their way to the market, dad was given a personal computer and a palm top, due to his nature of work. These days, when I told her that I'm given a personal laptop as well, mum would say, "Aiya, laptop only mah. So common." I thought she told me that it would be good if my future company would provide me with a personal laptop.

My point is, times has definitely changed. In the past, benefits such as company cars and personal laptops seem to be THE thing, but now, whenever I say to my mum, she would shrug them off. Anyway, I guess it's always difficult to please the older generations, especially my mum. So there you go..
