a nightmare would be a life without you

Maternal Instinct
Thursday, November 18, 2004 9:28 AM

Oh my gawd.

I never never imagined I was this good with kids.

Yeah... I know I did pretty okay during the occasional dealings with children, like entertain them, that kind of stuff. But to have them love talking to me and to know absolutely what to say, what to do, how to handle them... That is some freaky maternal instinct.

Mdm Koh commented on it before we 'closed-shop'. Said I was the teacher type.

Oh no. Uh oh.

Yah. I want eleven kids, but to take care of forty crazed insane kids is... Haha. Big no no. I waved my kindergarten teacher dream bye bye and threw them all down the toilet bowl like a couple of months ago. I just don't see myself as a role model.

I was being the teacher to all the little kids today, telling them about the plants, what was red, what was green, how the garden roof worked, what was in the gardenlite mix... Stuff like that. They kinda liked me. Haha. =) The kids were like all mine to educate because Xiao Yun and Soedar were the ones who handled the big shots (freakin' lucky I wasn't needed for the interview). I love the whole talk to kids and tell them about stuff and chopping their poor cute ink infested hands with the cute vehicle embossed chops, but heck, do this for more than a couple of days and I'll probably die. But...

I have got to admit it did feel sweet though.

I talked so much, my lips were freakin' dry and my throat was like itching.

Haha. The kids were really cute. Loved them to bits. There was even this really cute girl who wanted to chop my hand more than required because I went to her booth and didn't run away from her irritating friend. =) He wasn't that irritating, just very very hyper. Hehe. I can tahan lah. After training from my sis, what is a little bit of him manx?!

Then there was this really cute kid who made me sign her booth board, so I signed lah. I signed my bunny signature and wrote, "Don't eat sharks! Ahhhh!" (Her booth was a 'Don't Eat Sharks' booth you see).

She took a look at it, said, "HUH?", and then laughed. She was so adorable! =D

Kids like me. I like kids.

Well... Or so it seems lah. Okay...

Oh and one very crazy kid said, "Auntie! Chop my hand."

I frowned and pretended to be very angry and he freaked a bit, then I laughed and said, "WRONG! I'M YOUR MOTHER LAH!"

Then they all laughed like, WAHAHAHA, and said, "Huh! Don't want lah!"

Haha. OMG. I LOVE KIDS.

The whole tending to the booth thing was pretty okay. =) Loved explaining about the roof garden although I felt lagi tired after speaking non-stop. Most of the aunties and teachers didn't mind my tongue-tied explanations. So grateful. =X Haha. I was like, "Blargh!"

Wonderful day.

Oh right... And about Cherlynn's band concert yesterday.

Cherlynn! Your band did great! And your solo... Just two words, "Beautiful lah!"

Yesterday was just as wonderful as today. =)

Things are looking up for me. I don't feel so down anymore. That's just like a big relief for me. =) See... I'm so happy I'm smiling almost every paragraph. Blah. Haha.

Oh gawd... I just remembered... Class Chalet starts today. Heck it. Don't feel like going. I'm wondering how dearie did for his Geog and Physics... =X Anxious to know if he did okay.

I think it's about time to go thank God for my maternal instincts. I have like eleven kids to mummy ah. Need this natural way with kids more urgently than anyone else. =P Haha.

And to all you crazy taggers like Stephie:

Stephie - Awwiex. Chill it lah. She's probably gonna do it again so... Just chill. =) Don't go kicking her virgin ass lah. I don't want you like banned from coming back to Singapore! Wow. And yea... You, possibly PN and wei sheng are probably the only ones left on Planet Earth to tahan me. But ah... You and PN haven't experienced my recent suanful behavior, took a turn for the worse since like September? Yeah... But I'm glad you're still around and reading my blardy blog!!! =) Well... Lots of love Stephie. Don't go kicking too many peoples' asses. Chill!

PN - Oh right! You're a Taurus too hor! Haha. I'm surprised you like watching the flow of water. =) Never knew.

**carrie** loves Wei Sheng
