Parental Guidance.

LOL. Don’t worry. Not that I need my parents to watch a movie now. It’s just that I took the wheel for the first time. Driving my dad’s car, we manage to go to Sungei Kadut to get some vegetables. But before that, early in the morning, I followed my dad, mum and grandpa to a temple in Bedok and the cemetery at Lim Chu Kang.

Well, not a present sight at first, because it’s still quite weird when you are actually being surrounded by hundreds of the dead, watching you as they prey on the offerings that you “offered”. Apparently, I was there for Qing Ming, praying later in the festival because Cantonese people have more time to do so. Don’t ask me why but it’s just the case. What’s more, I had my camera and I was snapping everywhere. Luckily I only snapped at my ancestors and great-grandparents. Photos can be found on my Facebook account. Warning – Not for the Weak. Haha.

While driving, I had my dad beside me, scolding me and reprimanding me for every wrong action I did to his car. But then again, if I don’t heed his advice, I will not learn and will eventually bring disaster to the car. But seriously, I do sometimes hate the fact that I have someone beside me nagging at me all the time. Kinda irritating and in the mind, would just stop the car at the road side, get out of the car, shout back at the person and just say: “Why don’t YOU drive?” LOL. But I’m rather determined. I won’t want to give up valuable experience and training from a person who has driven a car for at least 35 years.

In terms of that, I do believe the type of attitude and behaviour of the child is definitely due to the upbringing from the parents. Definitely, if the parent is not around the child to teach him/her the right things from the wrong, then the child will be like another rebellious kid that will not contribute much to the society, let alone the family. But it’s also due to the fact that parents are busy with work to support the income of the family, that’s why sometimes the kids might just end up in the wrong person’s care.

And judging from the fact that I have seen many rebellious kids in my life, I realised that as they grew older, their thinking matures earlier than most, and it sometimes do make his friends a little childish. The rebellious ones will then start to think logically and wouldn’t want to do extra if they know that it’s pointless or so. Because of that, they actually develop in a smarter person. Then they will actually achieve something in the working world.

The children of the near future are definitely getting smarter because they are born with technology at their fingertips. Like the computer, the telephone, handphone etc. People as young as 11 might be even owning one handphone. And kids as young as 3 years old are already sitting at work desk using computers, playing games as if there’s no school tomorrow.

Hopefully I do not have kids that way. Or else I will be suffering from heart attacks everytime. Haha.

Woah.

Apparently, I had a few occurrences that made me wake up from my deep slumber after a night of hectic clubbing.

The first thing was that I woke up at 2:30pm to find the whole house empty. As in, all my family members are out. This is rather weird and shocking because I normally wake up to find AT LEAST my mum at home. But then I was really quite wrong. Maybe I’m too used to waking up, finding someone at home. Oh well.

Then while heading out to meet David for dinner at Liquid’s Cafe, I was rather caught up with my IPhone, searching for songs and then someone SMS-ed and I had to reply. But while I was about to cross the road, a bus just came zooming past my face. I was really stunned as one step further, I might end up either being severed like some slaughtered farm animal or injured as if I had gone to war and stepped on a landmine.

While in the train bound to Sembawang, some teenage girl entered the train and stand in front of me, with her ear-piece stuck to her ear, speaking to some friend I guess. But with her phone face facing my direction, I couldn’t help but look at the glaring light and saw 2 words – Xue Li. LOL!. My friend actually, just that it might not be her. This world has too many Xueli-s I guess. But then, who knows, it might be her after all. Haha.

And while being rightfully obsessed with my own music, the bus driver suddenly jammed its brakes. Why? All because the taxi in front stopped to pick 3 Bangalas who flagged for it. Damn. He jammed the brakes so hard, my phone almost slipped off my hands. That’s a bit crappy really. The worse of all, that crappy taxi actually stopped after a zebra crossing. Dumb Fuck.

On the way back, I had this incident on the bus again. Like this young lady who walked to the door, searched for her wallet in her bag, walked back to her seat, then alighted. Then this old lady and middle age woman were still looking for her wallet and they did manage to find it. Frantically, this old woman actually asked to alight and she ran all the way back just in search for that lady. Fascinatingly speaking, we still do have some good samaritans in this country. =)

And yes, I do not know why but I do have a problem with public transport today. On the way back home in the train again, I, as obviously searching for songs on my IPhone again, was being struck on the hand by a coke bottle. I do not know who the heck did it, but it hit my hand. Empty bottle at least. If not I would turn around and whack that person really. Eventually that bottle no one could really care and it rolled around like an abandoned toilet roll in the busy toilet. LOL.

Had enough of bull crap for today. It’s just half a day. And I have to be up early tomorrow. Sheesh.
