Leave me alone, just don’t LOVE me no more..

I love to jog in the playground in the evenings (or sometimes in the mornings). I’ll do my best to arrange my time so that I can jog at least two to three times weekly. Even a brisk walk will do, as long as Ethan and I are able to get some fresh air and sunshine. Working out makes me feel sexy within :D But there’s ONE thing I dislike about exercising in the playground…

LOVE grass! I totally HATE them! Look at my socks!

Well, LOVE grass used to be my MAJOR concern going to the playground but what happened a couple of days ago really made me mad. I was chaperoning Ethan and my neighbour’s 3 kids playing sand on the playground. Remember I blogged about them loving the sand there? Read about it here if you don’t.

As the kids were happily playing, came this bunch of jokers started kicking ball. They stood like 50 feet apart and started to take turns to kick the ball hard and far towards each other. I told them politely not to kick the ball there as the little kids are playing sand there but they did not budge. Before I manage to remove the kids, this idiot man kicked the ball and in high speed the ball strayed and hit Ethan and my neighbour’s kid on the head!

I lost my cool whatsoever and shouted at them. I shouted for him to buzz off. I felt dizzy, dunno because too angry or because I’m afraid to know how bad the ball had hit the kids. It got worse when the guy answered, “Saya tendang bola mesti boleh kena itu budak-lah!” Wah-lau-wei! I screamed my lungs off at him shouting, “Mana boleh tendang bola kat sini? Sini playground-lah! Budak kecik main punya! You mau tendang, tendang kat padang bola bawah sana! Sekarang bola kena budak punya kepala macam mana?!”

Loosely translated to – he said, “I kicked the ball of course will hit the kids!” to which I screamed, “Where can you kick the ball here? Here is a playground, for kids to play! If you want to kick, go to the football field further down the road! Now the ball has hit the kids, what you gonna do?!”

I wanted to cry dy but I did not. Instead I just stared at him until his friends told him to buck off. I was trembling inside not because I was afraid, but because I was very angry! I went home feeling down. Totally unhappy with what had just happened.

I wish Darling was there with me that time. I wish my neighbour was there too…

Today, I did not go to the playground. I don’t know when I’ll go again.. :(

These are hooligans !! No respect for whatsoever…. Anyway, not worth fighting with them, remove the kids when u see them as the kids may get hurt, though you are not on the wrong.

I can understand your frustation. There was one situation happened on me in the playground at my area. I brought my girls to the playground for the swing. When we reached there, all the swings were occupied, We stood silently waiting for our turn. Then I saw one boy left the swing. Before I could go and take the swing for my girls, the kid's bigger sister took over the swing from him. When I said bigger, she is really bigger. From her size, she is like a mother of 6 kids, From her look, she is around 17 or 18. Then, I went to her and told her off in English, "I guess you are too old for this swing, please let the younger kids have the chance to use this swing." Then, she was embarassed and left finally. Before she left, she said, "Allah!" I think I was very good and kind to her already, I should say, " I guess you are too heavy and too old for the swing." I hate people spoilt the facility in playground.

When I'm really furious and raise my voice at strangers, my voice will shake too (although it's not that I wanna cry or I'm scared). When I scream at Chloe with the same degree of anger, tenang je… why like that ar?
