Handover ceremony
Lately, I have learnt how to be late. People who know me personally will know that I am a very, very time conscious person. Actually I wanted to be on time but someone reminded me to be late so I was late for half an hour. I was feeling guilty while I was walking to school. Upon reaching there, my guiltiness was gone and turned into regretful because I realised that I could have reached there even later. = / I swear that I have not changed at all. To me, it is one of my strengths so why should I have changed? I will be on time if I have to i.e. people to respect me and not to be late too.
At first, I was a little worried and therefore wondered whom I could sit with. But, to my relief, I saw Paula and Ervin. So, obviously, I sat with them. = D I had a good time talking with them that I was reluctant to leave my seat for some briefing for my duty later. = x
My duty was to be a prize presenter which I have not done before. I think it was rather fine. = )
Anyway, I think that today’s scene was a little sad that it made me feel emotional and felt like crying especially when I was watching the video. Chu Er was brave enough because she held her tears back. = D I seriously think that I am not suitable to attend this kind of event because I always feel like crying! = (
After which, I had a chat with some of the seniors. Like one of them mentioned, time passed by real fast. I was in Year one while he was in Year two when I knew him and he was in my first mentoring camp group – Beaubexton! It is so unbelievable. Well, I knew some of them through that camp too and they have already graduated! I am already missing some of them especially during mentoring camps and outings. = ( I guess because I feel so attached to them. Hope to see them soon. =)
In the evening when I was having my dinner, I saw an incident which instantly reminded me of some heartbreaking incidents and felt like crying too.
Someone’s crying immediately caught my attention followed by a woman’s loud and stern voice so I turned around to have a look. Then, I realised it was a mother beating her child. I overheard her saying something like I told you not to sit on the floor or something. In any way, I think it was a minor mistake and really, the way she hit and treated her child was like he had done a grave mistake. That scene definitely attracted the attention of a lot of people. I know it surely felt very sad, angry and embarrassing to get hit in the public like that. Isn’t her child her product of love? Why is she treating him like that? I really do not understand some parents at all. Why are they like this? WHY? Are they crazy, forgetful or what?
I swear that I would not treat my child/children like how she did if I ever had any.
I wish that I will never be reminded of those dreadful incidents again, can I?
