kiddie reflections

actually this is meant to be a reflection done long long time ago. But i didnt have time then (not exactly that i have the time now. But really damn stressed up so feel like doing something else to let me forget about all the other idiotic stuff). I had saved it as draft the other time, so i shall now try to recall how-ever-much i can...

Start with a "funny" one 1st.
I was going home from orchard the other time, taking the MRT. Then at city hall i gotta change train mah. That day was around 6++ i think. So lots people going home. The train was damn crowded. Then the doors were finally closing. But i think cos children are too small to be sensored, the door actually CLOSE while the kid WAS STILL WALKING INTO THE TRAIN. The mommy and her sister were already inside the train, so die-die the kid gotta get in rite? But luckily the sides of the train doors have those kinda rubbery cover by the edges, so i think at least the physical pain was slightly reduced. Even most FORTUNATE is that the little gal's mommy & her mommy's friend (or was it some helpful stranger?) managed to pull her off against the resistive forces of the closing doors and got her onto the train. SO SCARY to see such a thing happened right IN FRONT OF MY EYES!!! =s im quite scared myself actually. cant imagine how traumatised the girl must have felt. Okie, maybe this isnt exactly a "funny" thing (as i have said right from the start) the funny thing is that the girl and her sister were crying and crying all the way from city hall to paya lebar (where i dropped). maybe even further down the line but i couldnt see liao.. hAhAz. okie, i shall not be so mean to elaborate how hilarious i find this. But i feel quite touched that her sister actually also feel for her and was so scared that she was crying with her!! So you can imagine how hilarious it looked! erm, but i shall not be so mean. I mean, on one hand, im quite amused by the scene; on the other hand, im really shocked at what i saw [how the doors closed, trapping that poor girl]; on the third hand [yes, im 'san zhi shuo'. hAhAz], im touched by the sister love. maybe the sister cried because she had thought she was going to lose her sister when she saw her being trapped. They must have been close sisters...

Another encounter with kids...
Went to dental on the forth day of orientation (if i didnt remember wrongly). then hafta go back school mah (went in the morn. then when i went back, the uncle said to me "Late arh?" haha. so funny) anyway, dont off-topic. Took 174 from dental back to school. Was really touched by what i saw. When i went up, there was already a young boy with his mom. They don't look ang moh, but their english was accented. Anyway, just a few stops after i got up, another kid came up with his dad. At first, i had the same thought as the young boy, thinking that that is a girl cos of 'her' looks. So, the young boy was already sitting at the front seat of the top of the double-decker, with his mom sitting a seat behind. And i think the other front seat beside it was occupied. So when the 'girl' wanted to sit, but couldnt find an empty seat, the young boy actually offered that kid the other half of the seat! (Even though he [the young boy] called him [the other kid] "hey girl" hAhA) That young boy was like, so outgoing, so friendly, approaching the kid as if he'd known him for ages. Then suddenly, it struck me that kids can make friends so easily. In their world, everything is still pure & innocent. Everything is so simple. They either share or be selfish. So unlike grown-ups, who often hide their true colours. I suddenly realised i was envious of a kid's life.

Too bad i've gotten out of it already. If given a choice, would you rather stay there or move on?? despite envious of them, i'm actually at a loss to make a decision. what about you??
