Straight Journey to The Straits Kitchen?

Went to Straits Kitchen @ Hyatt Hotel for lunch. It was meant as an appreciation for all staff :)

Me, Zai & Rizal were told to close our youth centre by 11:30 and proceed to Dhoby Ghaut MRT and wait for the next instruction. As usual, we were late; we left the center only at 12pm.

After dismissing all the students,we took a taxi to Dhoby Ghaut. Barely five mins later, Zai received a call from one of the youths, saying that a verbal fight just broke between 2 boys and they were shouting like mad. Damn. We were so terkilan as it had been only 5 mins since we left them, and now they were creating trouble.

Rizal also received a call from the public, complaining about the boys fighting under the void deck. The person intended to call the police, and Rizal did not stop him. Meanwhile, I tried to call some other boys and they seem to be wanting to keep things secret and assured me that everything was under control; when actually 3 police cars had already arrived in the void deck to gather the boys' statement.

We were all worried for the students. Me and Zai felt like patah balik to the Centre but was stopped by Rizal. He said that things will be ok and that sometimes we should stop mothering these boys and let them face the consequences of their actions. Haiz...dah namanya perempuan kaan...kanciong lah sikit... :p

Upon reaching Hyatt Hotel, we told Pak Usop what's happening back in the Centre. He told us to forget about work matters for a while and enjoy our lunch...mknn memang power beb~ apa taknya..$70/per head :p

A'lillah, none of the boys (or girls, for this matter! haiz...yg perempuan pon kena...pdhal they were just at the wrong place in the wrong time) were taken by the police. The police simply screened they ICs, and since none of them had any pending cases, all were released...phew!

This is the challenge when you have over 50 orang 'anak-anak' yang nak dijaga...

Apapun, I still LOVE my girls and boys....really I do... *heart fills with warmth and serenity*
