Ugly act of a Singaporean family.

More than academic results of As and distinction, the responsibility and role of us adults is to instill the correct moral values and ethics in our younger generation, especially the very young ones from kindergarten and primary school. They have a super absorbant brain compared to adults and they learn things fast...the good and the bad.

Today is mums birthday and we headed to 1036 at Sembawang road to celebrate her birthday with a sumptuous dinner treat. Beside us are 2 generation of family having their dinner of delicious fresh seafood cuisine. They paid the bill and left earlier than us but no without leaving a big mess food waste and a pack of plastic white stuff on the table. On closer inspection... USED DIAPERS!!!!

So I guess the parents decided to give the baby a diapers change near the dinner table. Ok, maybe I accept that action for there is not diaper changing station at 1036 Semawang restaurant because its too ulu. A untidy dinner table after meal???? Ok .... I seen that a hundred times so its a norm. But a diaper on the table??? This is outrageous. What is the parents trying to teach the younger kids around the table? That you can leave your poo and pee on the table??? I think we adult should be conscience that kids emulate what we do till it become their character.

Some Singaporean likes to stereotype China Chinese as noisy and husband stealer while the Bangla worker as dirty. Ironically it is a Chinese worker making sure the tables are properly cleared for the next group of customer despite the unsightly diaper on the table. We gave our waitress a piece of the Goodwood Park cake as a token of appreciation for getting candles and plastic knife for us (I forgot to bring candles) and making the dinner a pleasent experience with great customer service. Than I observed that she actually brought the cake into the kitchen and shared with the rest of the staff, each one of them taking a bite of the delicious cake. They are a mix of Malaysian, Singaporean and China worker. I think sometime we can learn more from our foreign counterparts of value and ethics than through our own people.
