It's been long since I have done a proper blogging, my computer is occupied with other task and so just too bad that it's getting old and slow.
Never mind about that, there is one incident that I wanted to blog about a couple of weeks ago and I never had the time.
I was strolling about in Ang Mo Kio central that particular day which I can't remember what I was doing there. As you guys knows that recently I snack a lot, I was queueing up at this pastry shop to buy some waffles home and there is this lady queueing up in front of me carrying a lil' girl about 3 years old.
What attract my attention was not them, though I don't really like the way the lady teach the girl things but it's not my kid so I can't do anything to it. It was this old lady who came near to her, suddenly shouted "Siti! You better carry careful!!" Till then then I saw this maid standing at the side carrying a baby less than 6 months old.
Broken English, never mind, still can communicate, what amazed me the most is the following. Since it has already been quite some days so I can't remember what exactly she said, it was something like,
"We are kind enough to give you bread to eat!"
"If you still day dream we don't give you bread!"
.......
Bread? Only bread? You mean you are giving another girl who is about the same age as your daughter nothing but bread? And that is consider "kind"?!
Can I just say that I can't blame that more and more cases of maid trying to kill the employer or adding "spice" to food are occuring, please tell me, ain't them human too??? They have to do all the chores all day long and at the end of the day, bread is all they get? Where is the humanity that the society all along stressed on? What if your daughter, your mother, your sisters or even your granddaughters were in her shoes, will you still say such things?
Quite pissed off and I gave the old lady a glance and she saw, then she keep quiet. Hey, doesn't mean that you are old you can do all these, this is more like basic human respect to life! Not that I don't respect old people, I still do! I still love to see those Ah Ma-s at work and talk to them, but I think there should be a limit on what you should say and what you shan't when you are talking to someone who is of a "lower social status"*I can't find better terms* than you if you really want to call that.
