hari raya
i just glanced out of my window.. guess what i saw?a regular van pulls into a parking lot, its rear door slightly ajar, providing ventilation for hidden back passengers..
the front doors opens, and three young malay men climb off. one goes to the rear door, opens it ever so slowly, and TA-DAH! There we have, a van-load full of young children!
o_O shocking. it's like a travelling nursery. or a mobile orphanage. or..or.. a moving pediatric department from nearby CGH. or maybe they are baby movers. the next newest thing you need to hire when you're moving into a new house. eek. i am so lame. that was so cold.
anyways, i'm just tryna say that i'm shocked. out of all the little kiddies (i swear there's 8-10 of em inside, mostly boys) there were only 2 young females. are those their kids?! how do they afford it?! how can they stand to have so many? how do you control kids when you have more than 1?!?
then i realised, they don't control their kids.. three start to run around, oblivious to the shouting "eh don't run so far ah".. the youngest breaks into tears, and another one follows.. the others just take their time getting off, pushing each other a little, shoving their way off the van.
tsk tsk. suddenly all the admiration just disappears. poof. gone.
i turn away from the window; the last memories i take in are of the women, standing around, arranging their hair, their dress, while the kids scatter themselves.
