from the heavens to earth indeed.

from the heavens to the earth indeed.

this is dedicated to all the kiddos in mummy's kindergarten. just a dedication, doesnt have to be practical. haha.

well, today finally changed my opinions about these little imps called kids. not totally but almost. after so long! haha. as you all know, i was pretty sick yesterday. today isnt that top-notch still, but at least i am normal. but these little things demonstrated real sweetness! for example, i was coughing and this little boy called jun yu looked at me with his big round eyes and asked "what happened". when i said stuff like "teacher is sick", he gave me a kiss and a tissue. haha. i know. aww. and later in class, the kids all could tell i wasnt that normal, since i wasnt that bubbly and hyper towards them. of course it helped that i coughed alittle. couldnt help it; barfing worn me down and i wasnt in the bloody mood to jump around like a bunny. so they were surprisingly quiet and attentive, and the time passed so easily and smoothly. later at childcare aka the afternoon session, i finally get to sleep with the kids after all the bathing and feeding them, of course the worst part too: homework-doing. and while we were all lying down, i took my usual space beside the same little tissue-giving boy, jun yu, since he's the youngest, only about 2 going 3. well, i was patting him and he ran his little hand up and down my lower arm, like patting me too. let me tell you, at that moment, i totally forgave all the torture that these little things have been given me the past few aeons. and when they all slept, i was just staring at them and i got to say, everybody has nice, long eyelashes. they are all so beautiful. haha. i know, i must be delirious. but at that moment, i actually thought to myself "it would be nice to have children" (but touchwood, not now lah!). so yah, that's enlightenment for me. i was touched indeed. in that lazy afternoon, with the air conditioner blurring and soft classical music playing in the background (yah, muzak during afternoon naps. what life.), i believed with all my heart that they are angels without wings. untainted; waiting to be colored. innocent. true. <3

so yah, those who think kids are annoying and yucky or whatever. just wait for that moment, when you get the 180 degrees change to your opinion or just simply alttle doubtful of yourself. i will still dislike them sometimes, but i wont deny that they are another wonder of the world. haha. arent we all?
will try to post their pics up soon.

ta-ta.

xoxo.
