Yesterday made me realised how shielded i was from the harsh reality of life. It made me realised there are really many unfortunate ones around that i really didn't believe it existed. There was this incident that made me really traumatised and a little upset although i didn't verbalise or show it.
While we were walking out of 'A', we heard a scream followed by a girl somewhere our age jumping up and down with the mum looking really helpless. Soon, they heeded to 'E ' and she broke loose, trying to escape from the clutches of e nurses. There came the words ' Dont catch me! Dont catch me! ' She didn't want to return to the ' enclosed'. She doesn't want to leave her parents and grandma or even her little brother. She knows exactly where she is heading towards. It's just like hell for any normal beings: the 18 levels of hell. There came her grandma that really made me feel worse. She was old and frail, with lushy white hair and was walking with great difficulty. I could sense worry from her eyes and hands holding unto her grand-daughter, bringing her into the ' E'. I bet, she must have really struggled alot and pained her so much to have to do it personally. p.s: it was the first time i really seen it myself.
Chatted at Madjack for really long last night, in lieu of Belle's birthday celebration. We talked about alot. Our childhood, our parents, money and many other incident we witnessed and experienced at work. It dawned on me. I was really so shielded. I never was caned before. I could swear at home. The only time my dad hit me was when i was holding unto my bolster so hard totally reluctant to go to school in my primary days. Even as i was in primary 2, i forged my mum's signature and my dad was called to school. I was never hitted. Even when i had to spend my afternoons doing detention cause i was late pratically everyday, they never scolded me. Maybe if she did, i would be a different person from now. I would be more sensible and less naive about everything. But would i be this optimistic still?
I'm so afraid. So afraid i will not be able to take failures. able to face the harsh reality of life when i go to work. Perhaps my decision of not taking psychology was right. Antz was right that i wont be able to take it.
I hope in time to come, i'll be a stronger person. Someone who will be able to help the less fortunate with all i can.
It's time to plan ahead.
Thanks for yesterday, 4th June 2009. I realised how life really is.
