Sacrifice?

It's Badminton Day again! 2nd last day to play since the school is going to change management. Many stories floating around and I am now not sure which is the correct version. Either there is a change of principal and he does not want the school to be open for public use. Or the school premises has been taken over by another organisation and no longer functioning as a school. If the latter is the case, then we'll have to approach the new organisation to know if we can continue a new package with them. One more time to play on Monday then. What other activities after???

After much deliberation and a million KFC advertisements showing on TV, we decided to go for our usual hobby and KFC takeaway for dinner hahahaha. These days spending a lot of time watching Justice Bao on TV, 3 episode per night. So we see a lot of the KFC commercial. Anyway, some of the new stuff are pretty nice this time, though I cannot understand why they only see original recipe chickens, or perhaps chicks to be more appropriate. KFChick. The size of the chicken is......hmmmm, not surprising if you mistake a chicken piece for "Hot Wings"!!!

Carreffour was pretty eventful today. They changed the layout of the fruits section. Bought watermelon again. Hahahaha. Nice and refreshing in a Shanghai summer, especially from the fridge! Yummy! While packing our stuff into plastic bags (self brought because they do not provide bags for you here....), I notice a small girl dragging a mini luggage bag. It's one of those scenes where kids like to drag their own small bags for fun or for their toys. However, she was stopped by the security who started asking her what is in her bag. She started crying and screaming and wailing for her mum. I thought she was frightened by the security, but what happened next was amazing. Two ladies inside Carreffour started running!!! The ran towards the escalator inside to try and get to the upper level. That is when I realised they were making used of the girl to steal stuff through her bag. So now they are deserting her and making the great escape! Security was shouting for colleagues to go upstairs to stop them... not sure what happened because we did not stay to watch how everything unfold.

Th girl was sacrificed by the mum... how can she run and leave the child behind??? This is going to be a scar in the kid's life. I hope she does not grow up thinking such bad influence is the norm. Sigh... everyday more and more things unfold that makes me wonder how it can all happen in the first place. Some of the issues are just unbelievable, senseless and ethically wrong. I wonder how it can even come up as a point of discussion on forums, in courts or in the newspapers. What principles are people exposed to when they are growing up these days?
