This Wonderful Thing Called 'Life'

Allister and Elston eating laksa and telling me about 'The Hunger Games' and 'Algae' and packing for Malaysia.

Boys from class 1.3 calling me before I'm near enough to greet them.

Isaac Ling asking me, "Ms Avelyn, do you remember my name?" and breaking out into the brightest smile when I said, "You're Isaac, right?" and smiling again when I remember Zhi Rui's name.

Random boys asking for canned drinks and packets of chips to be opened.

Funny variations of 'Ms Avelyn',

He Zheng Yuan calling his mum to get permission to borrow twenty cents for a popsicle.

Gabriel asking me, "Do you know where I'm from?"

Ryan Lim, whom I recognized when I thought I wasn't going to, eating prata.



They are the reasons why I go to work.
