New Found Fren

We = Me and Qin Hui went prawning at Bishan today. He promised to catch at least 20 which will constitute my lunch for tomorrow.

Was not a good start. But after 30minutes or so, it went well.

A group consisting of 3 kids were playing around our area. Being me, naturally i became fast friends with them.

A boy in the group caught my attention. Perhaps its my sixth sense again, that I feel he is lonely, lonely for family attention.

Chatting with him was easy. He talked alot. We let him have a go at prawning a few times. The look on his face when he caught some, were pure indulgence of a child's innocent smile.

Seemingly, I asked his friend in the group if his parents were around. She was another talkative young kid. The boy named Wen Cong, came from a divorced family. He stays with his dad now. His mother visits him every 2 wks.

Because his dad was always gambling, and doesnt hold a proper job, the girl's mother brought him along everywhere they go.

Hearing the story naturally further softens my heart towards this little boy. Its always the kids who suffer in these cases.

He definitely wants to be able to lead a normal life, to be able to feel motherly love and parental love. I cannot comment further.

I gave him my number to call me if he needs help or just to chat.

I dont care if others think I am crazy. I just feel that being a friend to this boy may help lessen the pain he feels deep down for the lack of love around home.

I hope all goes well for him.
