kids are so innocent… during my taekwondo training this morning, i asked the kids wat they want to be when they grew up…
one boy said “i wan to be a policeman, because can play catching with thieves”
one girl “i want to be teacher because can punish students”
“i want ot be doctor!!!” and so on…
when one of the kids asked, “kor kor, so what you wan to be when you finished school?”
this question makes me startled for awhile… damn it… i dont even know what i want to be!!!
“why are you thinking for so long??” they asked…
“i want to a scientist!! because i wan to invents lots of wonderful things for you kids to play!!” (i just anyhow crapped one answer)
quite sad about it… a question which a kid can answer immdiately whereas me as an adult have to take some time to think about it…
after my taekwondo training, i head off to work in jurong east swimming pool. i was assigned to station at the children’s pool. i love childrens… although they are naughty at times, but i feel that they are wonderful. they will come over to tell u all sorts of funny things which u cant even think of. they will be quarrelling at one moment and swear not to friend each other, but the next moment u’ll see them playing happily together again. this doesnt happen in adults. for adults, a small quarrell might cause both party not to talk for 10 years….
when we are childrens, we want to grow up fast. when we had grown up, we wished to be like childrens again. how ironic…
