Weekends are spent doing some volunteer work for Mendaki Kids Camp. Waking up at 545am isn't something you wanna do on weekends. I really wanna do the camp but each morning, i pathetically ended up asking myself "why do i have to do this?" lol! But after shower, with eyes wide open & feeling fresh, rest assured those corrupted thoughts were washed away as well. HEE!A visit to S'pore Discovery Ctr with the kids. My 2nd visit after 10years. HAHA! Kids as usual. Talking crap is at the top of their to-do list. Frankly speaking, my group was okay in general but i don't quite like it when it comes to cheering & speaking out. They are just not energetic. With me beginning to feel sleepy & seeing those un-energetic kids after COUNTLESS ENCOURAGEMENTS, they only made me feel more tired. During their outdoor activity, where they have to cheer before the games started, we tell them beforehand to shout. But when its time, they shouted like a weakling & i was tying one of their blindfold while they did their cheer..so i was like asking them to shout. THAT SCENE was captured on video & THAT VIDEO was shown to the kids on sunday. For that, i was called MAK TIRI aka STEPMOTHER for being too fierce. Thanks. HAH!
and here they are. the group who can talk crap with us calling me CAT but when asked to shout..all become a weakling. wth.
And for some reason, other than wan, alfie & wak, ika, me & ruzaidah was like the oldest there among all the girls? but i think others thought we are just 18. lol.

Speaking of kids...i've been sympathizing one of my nephew lately. When kids do some stuffs & the adults just scold them, has it ever occur to them why the kids did those things? For one reason, i think they want care & attention. When my very first niece was a toddler who had just learnt to speak, due to frequent scoldings she got, i remembered her saying to me her mum doesn't love her.
My 1st bro's 2nd child, Iqbal(4+) was born 2 months premature. He seem smart & always full of questions. He has an elder sister(9), baby brother, the japanese looking one, Iyad(going 2 this july) & 5mths old baby bro & he is very close to my 2nd bro daughter. Nadia(5+).
But all along, he was always the one who gave in. The other time, both my bros came, he wanted to play his PSP, Nadia saw it and wanted to play, but because he can always play it at home, i ask him to let Nadia play. The next thing he said was "semua orang tak sayang Iqbal.."(everybody doesn't love him..). Awww...that was heartbreaking. The recent one, when my 1st bro came with the children, his sister wanted to use my laptop & he said he wanted to play too. So I said let kakak play first then he will play later. He said "asik kak nana aje first.."(always kak nana first..). Oh man, thats even heartbreaking. I mean seriously i notice he ALWAYS has to give in to everybody - when he play with Nadia, when he play with his sister, when playing with Iyad. There was some time ago, both my bro came, my nieces wanna use my laptop, he waited for his turn until he fell asleep until they went home. So, it's no wonder he feel that way.
I knew how he feel ok. I remember when i was a kid, i felt the same prejudism too. Everytime there's free stuffs when you buy something, my sister always got it first. Then, if let say, like my parents bought something for us say clothes...and the clothes only left one on display & the other brand new, she would take the brand new and i always get the used one. And if like our parents wanna buy us something, but there's only one item, initially she would wanna take it but when she realize there's only one item and my parents gonna buy another one elsewhere, she would let me take the initial one and she take the latest more brand new one. Actually, its been like that even until now. So conclusion is frustrating. and i hope she go and get a bf quick and get married first before i do so i can live in peace. haha! But for my nephew, i think the next time, i should start making him feel he is loved. ^_^
