The Opera Populaire

When you take the bus at the same time everyday, you inevitably got to recognise some "familiar" strangers who take the same bus at the same time with you everyday.

Saw a very sweet sight the other day. There is this young mamma who always dresses fashionably but is forever harassed by her two lively young kids, a boy and a gal. On Tue, this mamma seemed particularly stressed out, sitting with a quiet expression while her daughter cried unhappily beside her. Just then, her elder brother reached out and pulled her face close to his, cooing and trying to soothe her. When she din stop weeping, he tried all ways and means, stroking her shoulder and kissing her on her cheek till she finally smiled.

I dunno if this fashionable mamma saw this lovely sight in her anger at her daughter. But the sight touched me very much and I relished it all the way after they got down at their usual stop at Christ Church kindergarten. When I become a mother next time, I hope my children love each other that much.
