I had to work this morning...Covered an event at our client's place. They were holding a presentation ceremony, and the event was to be featured in this coming issue of newsletter. The people involved were Primary School kids, ITE students and undergraduates from our various Unis. Speaking to little kids and I had to adopt this cutesy manner to "clique" with them, but interviewing the undergrads was better altogether. It was more like chatting to them, though of course, I was feverishly scribbling all over my notebook.
There was this one particular male undergrad. He came with his mother, and he caught my attention. Before you get the wrong impression, I certainly don't mean looks. The recipients were allcated seats and therefore, had a confirmed seat. The family members who went along, however, had no seats due to overwhelming response, and thus had to stand. He didn't sit down like the other kids there..instead he ushered his mom to his seat first (though his mom declined). Sigh, such filial piety...Small gesture, but speaks volume. I approached him for a short interview, with his mom, and he agreed immediately. In fact, he persuaded his mom to agree to be interviewed. Some other kids I had come across didn't have their own opinions, and when I asked for an interview, they would look across to their parents to say yes or no. Anyways, he revealed that he will go into tradings first (he is studying Business Administration), but he has plans to be an entrepreneur. Big dreams...
That's just how some people can be...They are filled with big dreams, they know what they want to do, and they certainly aren't afraid to pursue their dreams. I, for one, have dreams, but I'm uncertain as to whether I can fulfil them. Such is the difference *ha* I certainly admire him for that. And he seemed genuinely protective of his family, and cares and loves his family. I can somehow sense such vibes coming from people...though of coz I could be wrong. Anyways, such nice traits certainly attract me. Haha....but of coz, he's only 22 for goodness sake!
Hmm, and something interesting happened while I was there. Heehee..But I shan't reveal it. Let me busk in the short-term happiness first..I may just tell you in a few days' time what it is all about..Haha...
My brother left for Melbourne just now in the evening, so for the next one week I'm probably gonna be bored stiff...Because normally by the time I get home, my niece would b asleep (cannot play with her). Most of the time, my brother would be the one surfing the net still, or talking to his gf (recent phenomenon). No matter what, he would either make some small talk after that, or we would engage in some harmless bicker. Oh well, I guess I have to get used to being alone again, because his boss would be sending him overseas rather frequently. Anyways, I have "survived" on my own while my brother was still pursuing his studies overseas and after my second sister got married. Hmm...I shall see if he "got heart" and get me any presents anot..hahaha
