a lil lesson on responsibility.
so this morning, my sister heads out of the house first and i take my dad's car to church.
just before we left our carpark, i read my sister's message bout remembering to bring the skirts for the dance in the afternoon.
and I assumed it was in the bag i was carrying, without checking all.
heads to church, only t find that it isnt inside at all.
i'm blur like that you see,
of course i dont panic because um, it normally kicks in after the realization and by then it's too late and also because, I didnt feel like i was totally at fault since there was a miscommunication between my maid and I, which also equates to I kinda blamed her for telling me my sister took it alr.
so during service, I was very distracted obviously, tryin na think of all the ways to get the skirts
and mind you, asking my parents t do it for me after serv would be out of the question because, there just aint time.
and this brilliant idea comes in and I decide to, go all the way home from expo and get it myself, since I yea, didnt check when my sister reminded me.
-walked though 5 expo halls,
-took the train to aljunied
-walked home to get the skirts,
then took the train back and walked thru 5 expo halls again.
all in 1hour.
why i share this, is because earlier on, I wanted t call my dad to ask my maid to do the above for me instead because it was "the easy way out", and he replies, "It's your own thing, take responsibility or forget it."
in that message alone it kinda woke me up because,
it slapped me mentally that the world doesnt revolve around me, plus
how many times I blame my maid for not being able to find things around at home because I misplaced it, and how many times, tantrums i throw at her for my own folly and the many times i take her for granted.
talk about respect.
and for the next three weeks, she's gonna go back to home to indonesia and i'll def miss her!
not because there's gna be no one to do the littlest things for me anymore(even though it's partly the truth), but i think i'm gna treasure her even more when she gets back.
i'm sure,
