the weekends were bz with work, chalet, work, work, work and more work. hectic and so demoralising to be back at office consecutively for so many days tt i decided, i needed a break. im due for half day off today. gonna mit up with jia for kopi and movies and behave like im a student on holiday for ONCE. i realised i never really did enjoy my holidays from SIM. after i finished my last paper in june, i got ready for my china trip and started work almost immediately after i returned to singapore till now. i got 1 week's break b4 sch starts.. i'd better take ample time to rest.. recover and replenish all i can.. for anor year of battle.
was at the musical fountain last sat before going down to jennifer's chalet. long long time since i last went there tho. it brought back fond memories as a child, wea there were zoos, bird parks, the long forgotten haw par villa, big splash etc. as we grow up, obviously the places we go change, tots change, every other thing changes. hopefully for the good. up till now, i still think family upbringing is very important for the foundation of the kid. if u ask y.. when i was with caron at yishun mrt on sat.. we overheard 2 kids.. the most say.. 7 years old? they were playing some games.. and suddenly.. in the midst of my conversation with caron..
kid: "f*** u lah!"
me: *gasp*
caron: *turns to me* i feel like telling the kid off.
mind you.. the parents were within a 5cm diameter.. and they did NOTHING. but wait! tt was not the end.. they decided they wanted to stop at JE too.. so when the train approached the station.. they ran to the door.. stuck their face up the door.. and when the door took a moment to open.. one of them went..
kid: "quick open lah, CH** BY*!"
*FAINTS*
what in the blue hell is wrong with this kids? and the parents? no discipline? i wondered what kind of languages they use at home behind close doors.
then there was this mother at northpoint. her kid was holding on to a take away ice-cream from macdonalds. while walking, the boy accidentelly fell and the ice cream flew like 3 steps away. if you were the kid's mum or dad, what would u have done?
A) check out ur kid
B) check our ur ice cream
C) scream "KANINA" and whack the kid's head for tripping and dropping the ice-cream
okie.. the mother belonged to cat C. i think even if you decide that u belonged to cat. B, i would forgive u too.
*shakes head* poor kid grows up in an unhealthy environment, full of vulgarities and beatings uncalled for. im not saying that kids shouldnt be subjected to the carrot and stick method, but there should be enuf space for the kids to fully understand things by themselves. sometimes, its either they listen to ur advice.. or they learn things the hard way. my mom has been v v strict me with since young, and i might wanna thank her for that, coz without her.. i'll prolly be some ah lian on the streets. coz im one child who decides that i wanna learn things the hard way, u dunno how painful it is.. until u are introduced to pain.
another room of thoughts: do singaporeans get married when they think its time to.. or do they abide by what the society tells them, that getting married in ur early 20s is like a big no no. *ponders*
time to get back to work.
