OF WATER HOSE AND SUCH
I still have a lot on my work plate. But something inside me is just screaming to get out. I succumbed to the pressure and decided to abandon my half done document and shift my attention to filling up this new blog of mine. Perhaps it's the "kid-with-a-new-toy" syndrome. Call it whatever, but my hands are just itching to fill the page with my endless ramblings. I bet Kak Semah will have a thing or two to say about this.
Was on my way to the mall (which is right next to my office) just now to get some light lunch. Saw a couple of kids at one of the water hose reserved in case of fire. Those darn kids! Don't they know that it's not a toy! That the hose might be able to save lives one day? Vandalism is truly despicable! There were 3 of them and one of the boys was trying to cut the hose. I was like..."Hang on! what the hell do you think you're doing?" I gave them one of my evil stares and they started to flee. This incident brings me to my question. How do we educate our kids to respect public property? (Not that I have any kids though I wish to have some soon) Through examples? By instilling values in them? How do we tell them to not drown themselves under peer pressure? Kids seem to absorb things into their head like sponge. But they also have the tendency to lose them like a punctured balloon if we're not careful. Geez! Suddenly, I'm beginning to worry about these things. Maybe it's the age thingy or maybe it's the hormone and maternal instinct kicking in. Maybe it's a bit of both...
On a lighter note, I hope Cai has finally settled his BIGGEST worry for the day...finding a suitable title for his blog. I think you should start looking for your baby's name soon, judging from our mini exercise today. Seriously Cai, "Gambir Sarawak" doesn't sound too bad, does it? As I have said, intelligence and wit will surface from your writings, of which I'm sure you have many. And to Kak Semah a.k.a Sha, "what happened to your url la?". Want to challenge Rupaul's blog issit? You go! Be the voice of assertiveness!
The working hour is slowly coming to an end. And suddenly, I'm missing my baby...hiihihihi!!!(kak Semah, I know you're puking while reading this *grin*). Gotta finish up my work so I can go home soon. Later peeps! More to come...
