I used to have time to observe and then think over the things I see

I just have way too many things to do these days and they are mostly school-related.As much as I want to just not care about them,I know I just can't........

Then again,one of the other reasons I just couldn't bring myself to be serious about the things around me anymore is because watching or reading news would either annoy the shit outta me or it would just ruin my day.

For example,my mum and I were at the bank tonight and when we stepped out,a boy gave us salam.He's only 14 and he's from a school all the way in Port Dickson.He was there trying to sell us some balm in order to help him get money for his school or something.When my mum asked,he said his teacher was coming to get him and he has school in the morning.I don't know about my mum but I felt really sorry for the poor kid.

I often wonder what I could do to prevent kids from having to do such things regardless if they are orphans (or not).I just think it's completely unfair for the kids.And then,I saw some kids doing some street dance thingy on TV while I was at Aunty Intan's.Kids who probably have nothing else better to do.Ok,dancing in public places is harmless.But I do wonder if that is all they ever do coz I've seen some kids younger than those on that show who are working so hard to earn a living.

I don't like watching kids having to do things they aren't supposed to do like begging or doing odd jobs when they are supposed to be in school.Why are there still kids out there living at a minimum and having to pay a price for something which is not their fault to begin with?Most kids don't have a choice but to work I suppose while other kids just give up either coz they already have what they need or simply because they just don't care.
