My life
One more week marks the end of my holiday. I had been so buried in my work, so deeply buried underground that I had lost touch with the world, lost track of television programmes schedule.
But I have enjoyed myself thoroughly. Children are the answer to little miracles in life. Of course, they are also answers to little tradegies. Anyway, that is not a question. Catch this.
Just that day, we went on a Sentosa outing. That was technically my last day. I paired them up and had to partner one of them because he did not have a partner. He is the younger brother of the twin and the twins look extremely alike, such that many teachers had difficulty in separating them. Big round eyes, big round face and big round body, the brothers are my favourite. Their parents, a very nice and friendly bunch came along too. During lunch time, I heard my partner telling a small group of friends(they were all surrounding him, kneeling down eagerly while he sat down on the canvas sheet)
Him (smiling):"I Love Miss Foo leh!"
Friends (giggling):"Yeee.. hor hor! you say love! Then you want to marry her or not(giggles)?"
Him (sad) : "I also don't know, (pause for a while)But when I Old she passed away then how?"
I almost spat out the bee hoon that I was enjoying very much. Kids and the things they say... And that is not the end..
Friends: "huh? Then you want or not? If yes then I help you tell her ok?(giggles)"
Him (scratching his head, frowning hard): I don't know..
Him (round face lit up, pointing to the girl in front of him):
AH! I know, I marry you lor!
If I wasn't in the position of a teacher, I would have laughed and rolled on the floor.
Children, they are so naive. I hate to think about how their life would be when they grow up, when troubles start to come, when problems cannot be solved simply by 'marrying another person'. They still have so much to learn... They melt my heart.
