Kids!

I dont know why but I really fond to kids. Somehow, by only looking at their innocents faces, I can find peace. I love kids, that a fact I won't deny but another fact hidden is, I'm a bit picky. One thing I notice, I really get along easily with second child. Never the first or worse even the last child. Perhaps because I was the only child from my biological parents and when mom get married again I became the eldest and maybe because the fact is I was suppose to become a second born but unfortunately mother had miscarriage with her first pregnancy. I guess is all the reason that had shaped my picky side of kids. I often want to have a brother but when mom remarried I ended up having 4 step brothers. I believed that is the very reason why I acted like a boy and become a little rough on the edge, well actually so much roughness surrounding me. I hate cooking and my biggest weakness is, SEWING! I poke my thumbs with needle for so many times and I have few visible mark on my right thumb. (will get a snap later at home).

Sorry for my ugly arrow and circle, I only use trackpad :)

Anyhow, this entry wasn't really about me, I would like to blog about the Japaness lady I met at the laundry this noon. She brought along her 3 naughty sons. Married to a Malay guy and very fluent in Malay Language, I thought (by a glimpse) she was an Indonesian, but the moment she scold her sons and ask them sit neatly, I was mesmerize with the words! First thought crossed my mind, "never judge by just a glimpse". Her sons were so naughty I decided to help her keeping the boys in one spot by luring them to my iPad (yeah I sounds some bragging-ness here, hehe), luckily the previous night I downloaded whole bunch of apps for kids. Finally I manage to get the boys sit quietly and taught them some ABC, 123, as well as animals and foods. One that really caught my attention was the second son. He is so cute and macho but I think the very reason is because of my elder sister sense. His mother can't seems to control her kids but I managed to hold the naughtiest one to his chair till his mother done with the laundry.

When I was about the leave the laundry shop (a DIY laundry shop) their mother thanked me so much and asked how I managed to keep them together when she as a mother fail to do so, told her my secret, "the most powerful weapon to lure kids nowadays is, electronic gadgets" and I grinned. She nodded her head twice and her sons presented me the most beautiful smiles. The second sons (I guess roughly aged between 3 to 4) keep on looking at me and it makes me go back to him to bid him "sayonara" meaning Good Bye in English. He hold my hand, nodded his head once and said "arigato, onne-chan" (Thank you, bis sister). Nothing can describe my feeling at that moment.

Even though it was just a short meeting, I somehow feels that I will, one day will meet the sweet little boy again along with his other brother and sweet lovingly mother. Will upload the boy pictures soon.

He is a cutie!

With his elder brother
