my footprints

my little girls' dinner went really SLOW today. somehow or other, they just couldn't eat at their usual pace. especially chantelle & charlene. after 30mins, i gave up nagging at them and began to feed instead. so there i was "shoving" their dinner into their mouths, feeling exasperated at their refusals to swallow & chew. whats more, they seemed to have amazing storage space in their mouths. just like hamsters la! arrghh.

me: chantelle! chew chew chew!
chantelle: *frowns & pouts*
me: ms xuan wants to go home already. can you eat faster?
chantelle: why? i don't want ms xuan to go home!
me: what? if ms xuan don't go home, where does ms xuan go?
chantelle: go my house! can sleep in my house!
me: are you sure daddy & mummy allow? is there space for me to sleep?
chantelle: yes yes! when daddy picks me up, we can go to my house together!

me: so where does ms xuan sleep in your house?
chantelle: oh can sleep in the study room! daddy & mummy have one room. chantelle got one room. and got one more study room, nobody sleep there.
me: what?! are you sure? got mattress or not?
chantelle: got got! i can help to clean the room then you can sleep there already!
me:?!

chantelle: oh but ms xuan, you must remember to bring your bolster, pillow and blanket! if not you go my house then you cannot sleep cos you will miss home!
me: *faints*
chantelle: but don't need to be scared. i will take care of you and pat pat you until you sleep okayys?
me: *double faints*

*anyways, it just seemed to me like i'm "fated" to have anything to do with a particular colleague. not that i believe in fate, but it just really makes me think that God really is testing me by always placing things between me and her. really frustrating but well, its a learning experience too. maybe its really "fate" from God.

besides, i realised that my boss isn't an easy person to put up with. her expectations, demands, temperamental changes and ever-drastic-changing out-of-the-box ideas. i guess not everyone can put up with her. but i know that there's only one reason why i can. and that simple reason is really simple. because we share the same FAITH. i thank God for this too, because the past 6 months haven't been easy.

well, i foresee newer challenges and stressful moments ahead. especially when the changes of the new classes & teachers start next week already. i do pray that this very same faith, will see me through with the grace of God.
yes and amen.
