Being a senior makes you feel that you can do anything, perform anything fine, straighten all curls and put right all wrongs. It just makes you feel you are omnipotent, simply because you are older and more experienced with that one extra year of living. And it is even a greater humour when I live a life with my sister at home, oblivious of our childish language and actions when we communicate. I cannot help wondering whether I look like a senior or not, a senior to be revered as an omnipotent superwoman who can do anything and put everything right. Paradoxically, the answer is yes and no.
Whenever I go to the laundry room, rummage in the pantry fridge, roam to the underground canteen, or sit in front of a computer, I can be sure that some juniors are around merrily waiting to put something right----and fortunately they get me.
"When can I iron my school uniform?" "What was the Malay auntie mumbling?" "Can we download QQ?" "How come my fingerprint did not work?" "I forgot the way to the MRT!" "Which computer can type Chinese?" "Can you help me print these music notes out?"......
Until~~~
"When will you bring us out to play??"
That was an interesting question, because recently I am thinking about it but stumble in front of a full timetable. Cutural Potpourri is coming in three week's time, which means that CCA training will be more and more intense, plus that I am involved in the choreograghy work, the following two weeks I will be like a rotating ball. What spins me faster is the intense remedial, surely a burden added to my holiday, though I am sure that we all painfully need it. Besides, I have to busy editing school brochure for the upcoming Open House and working on the school history project. Now I am greatly heartened that I have finished setting paper for Chinese Cultural History and my sister have got her new spectacles. What awaiting us will be bringing our broken Acer to Sim Lim, tidying up our "storage room", getting some non-fictions in Orchard, and----
Bringing our juniors to some fun places to play.
This holiday will be busy for sure, maybe makes me a bit dizzy and dreamy at the same time. However it is still of great fun watching things grow, especially watching things grow under your care, and you make yourself feel like a gardener, like Mary, Dickon and Colin living in the secret garden, the one which is alive for ever and ever and ever.
That makes all the hardwork counts. And it is fun at the same time, when you see yourself from them, as if growing all over again.
