"Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat."
-Henry Emerson Fosdick

okay, tag me if anything! :D

Okaaaaay, its 2freaking17am & im not asleep, why? Cos i took an afternoon nap sleep. Yes yes, enjoying the conducive, lullaby-ing angin sepoi-sepoi (cool breeze) & all. (Okay, have to up my indon a bit cos it was kinda rusty, i dont wanna sound like some slang-ish angmoh struggling to speak her native tongue when i go back next year).


Anywaaaay, i owed miss leexinhuii a post on my *ahem* traumatising babysitting experience, which was well, traumatising.


& Soooo.


*INHALES*. Ohwells, my two relatives frm overseas (aged 4 and 7) came to stay over at my house two weeks back & I basically morphed into SuperNanny. Trust me, I add a whole new meaning to the word Super cos i babysit 3 kids at one go (including kiddo). Even SuperNanny has the parents to help her manage the children ok! Im not saying that they're hideously hyper-active & horrid, they're gorgeous really, its just that they're... owells, kids.


Ookay, SuperNanny tip #765 : NEVER BRING THEM TO THE MOVIE ESP IF YOU ARE INEXPERIENCED.


Buut, yess, sadly no one told me supernanny tip #765, so i suggested watching enchanted. YEZZZ. I thought it'd be perrrrfect, fairy tales theme & all. It was ALREADY weird on the way up to the 4th lvl, because i am surrounded by three kids and i have one girl to one hand and i could have sworn people are blatantly staring at me. Likeeee so uncomfortable ok! Prolly its cos im like, so small (and short fine fine) etc. Gosh.


Anyhow, we got the perfect seats (centre, back) & we've got popcorn PLUS the girls look like they're going for a camp cos they carried a ransack of their fav drinks (YES, THEY MUST DRINK FRM THE HORRID BARNEY BOTTLED DRINK), and snacks and tonnes of tissue and whathaveyous. Im just scared they wanna pee halfway (or worse! PEED) cos the 4-yr-old is not wearing pampers.


When the show starts, the 7 year-old (Sister A) starts grabbing me and :

Her: Im scared.
Me: Uhhh. Right. Just hold my hand lah.
Her: Why is Singapore's theatre so dark??
Me: HEH???


Ookay. That was only the prelude. I sat in between the two girls, and five minutes into the show, the 4 yr old (Sister B) started whining that she's bored, while A kept asking me so many questions, like, why is the Princess' name Giselle. & im not exactly good at multi-tasking, so it was hard to A) entertain A's questions, B) trying to calm B down so tt she doesnt start complaining, and lets just forget abt C) watching the show. Thank goodness for my little kiddo (who is 8) & DOESNT GIVE ME ANY TROUBLE AT ALL, i love youuuuu sooo muccchhhhhh.


And then, B asked me every other minute when the show will end, while A kept pulling my shirt everytime the wicked stepmother / witch appeared. My top was practically an off-shoulder by the end of the movie. B looked extremely restless and she wanted to sleep to pass the time away, so i let her rest on my lap. It was basically THAT horrid throughout the whole movie, and the movie culminated into its climax at the exact same timing as my babysitting stint. B's EARRINGS GOT STUCK TO MY TOP. So there I was, during the climax of the movie, i.e the witch turning into the dragon scene, panicking as B broke into tears. And its not the sobbing kinda tears, its the BAWLING, SCREAMING kinda tears. Gosh. And as I felt the hole in my top getting bigger as B VIOLENTLY tugged herself away from me, with A pulling my sleeve BECAUSE the dragon (she claimed) was scary, the bitches sitting behind me were being totally unsympathetic to my predicament with their constant SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH. HEART. ATTACK. I. TELL. YOU. (wait till you all have children, then people will SHHHHH at you.) And then, B's bawlings got louder and it was freaking in the dark so i cant untangle her earrings from my top and after a few futile attempts, i carried her outside the theatre (in a v awkward position cos I do not want to aggravate her pain). In my distress, the earring might have untangle itself from my top cos by the time I reached outside she stopped crying. & insisted I brought her back in. OHMYGOODNESS. Whaaat a daaay.

Soooo, you might have guessed how i feel when the movie finally ended & the feeling when I stepped outside th theatre was undescribable. It was like ... embracing humanity. The awesome thing is that the two girls chattered happily to their mum abt how the movie wazzz, AND B even mentioned her fave parts of the movie AND I WAZZZ LIKEEEE I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO SLEEEEEEP. Oh, at least no complaints abt me lah horrzz.
