And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

Only a couple of days ago I was walking from the bus stop to the office because I had absent-mindedly left my wallet behind, when I noticed this rather large family walking towards the overhead bridge, seemingly towards Queensway Shopping Centre. They were all females, not that it really matters in this instance.
The elderly matriach looked about 50, several younger children ranging from say... 8-14, and an older one, about 24. Trailing behind them was this tiny 3 year old, holding a small packet of chocolate milk. I was walking behind them, thinking about how cute the little girl was, as she took little steps, with that packet of milk, saying something really fast in Malay I didn't understand.
Then the 24 year old, possibly her mother, turned to her and yelled, "Just drink your milk and keep your mouth shut!" I stood there stunned for a second. It sounded like they didn't want the child. Now, it's not in my place to judge on how well a mother, or even a sister parents a child, but this was bordering on ridiculous. Why? The 24 year old turned back to walk with the rest of the family, in quick paces, with the tiny little girl lagging behind, not being able to multitask, like walk and drink her milk at the same time like most adults could. I mean, please. They probably just learned how to pee on their own, and in a proper place.
So the little girl was a good four or five metres away from the rest of the family, trying to hurry her little legs towards them. I just stood there and watched for a while, thinking to myself, what happened if someone had just stopped and grabbed her and ran off? Half the family was already walking up the steps to the overhead bridge, and none of them ever turned around to see how she was doing.
Instead, the 24 year old turned again to face the child to say, in a loud, annoyed tone, "Cepat, lah!" (Faster, lah!) This time, I was extremely angry with the woman for some reason. I stared hard at her, and when she noticed me, I merely shook my head and continued to walk towards the office.
If someone had indeed kidnapped the child, I would probably be the first witness. I'd probably give my statement to the police, in front of the possibly teary family, and say that it was not the kidnappers' fault, but their own, highlighting their own negligence.
But it didn't happen, so I let it go as that.
Then I happened to be in the living room with my dad watching one of those most amazing videos caught on tape or something like that, one with the animal theme. One man actually died trying to defend his co-worker from a circus elephant on a rampage. My dad actually said this. "Why are these people so stupid? Everyone knows that a human life is more important than an animal's life."
I'm no vegetarian, but the way he said it made my blood boil. Who is he to decide whose life is more important than another's? To hell with that, who is ANYONE to decide something like that?
Nevermind. I'm going to bed.

You might be living in my neighbourhood, or some other town or country far away. I don't know. And neither do you, at this point.
Wherever you are, I know I'll find you... if you don't find me first.
It's just a matter of time.
