On one hand, I really wanna work cuz I need the money. On the other hand, I'm glad whenever I'm not called up for work cuz it's really tiring. Barely 3 days at work, and I feel like I've been working for an entire month. Plus I need a whole day just to recover, so I'm grateful I don't have to work everyday.

Although it might seem like anyone can take care of kids, I really feel like I've learnt alot. This job really teaches you to build up your patience, sometimes stretching it to breaking point. And it's not only just patience with misbehaving kids (or when 3 of them start talking to you all at the same time), it's with their parents too. You really need to learn to smile in the face of fire, especially when you know the other party is being really unreasonable and stupid. At least with kids, they'll listen to you after you explain nicely to them. These adults won't budge till they get their way.

Some Singaporeans need to understand that just because they've paid for the service, it doesn't give them the right to command people to cater to their every whim and fancy, sometimes at the expense of others. At the end of the day, these people may have been able to get what they want, but all they've really succeeded in doing is make a fool of themselves among both staff and the other kids alike. I've never seen such ugly and selfish behaviour in my life, and unfortunately, I suspect there's more to come. Argh.

Therefore I conclude I don't have enough patience to survive the service industry haha. It also makes me better appreciate other service staff when I go out, and I try to be nicer to them haha.

Anyway I think it's true that kids are a reflection of their parents. Besides the really ugly behaviour I've seen, there are the really nice ones on the other end of the spectrum. Them and their parents. There was this 8 year old girl with the biggest heart I've seen, and who's far more mature for her age. She's the kind who will offer help to someone older than her, and who's even willing to give up her spot in a queue to another kid she just met. If I ever have a kid in the future, I really hope he/she will turn out to be like her haha.

I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world where the sunsets are all
Breathtaking
