For the past 2 days, I've been out on home visits in the evenings. Nothing beats seeing your cases in their natural setting. You'll be amazed, or amused, depending on what you see.

Yesterday I was very amazed at a 9 yr old's ability to serve me a cup of grape soft drink in a pretty glass without having received instructions from her mom. Then, I became amused when her 5 yr old brother, stretched himself across the length of the coffeetable, to slurp my drink! And the mom didn't say anything about that too. Being polite, I gulped the soda down without breathing. But not before I asked the boy repeatedly if he wanted the drink, coz if he did, I'd gladly let him have it.

Today, I was very amused at the antics of a 4 yr old cute girl, who stirred her drink repeatedly before slurping it using her spoon. Plain water, drunk from a metal tablespoon. These are things only a kid can do, and getaway with. Imagine an adult doing that. Oi, takde keje lain ke nak buat?! Tu file bertimbun, pergi clear dulu!

See, besides seeing what your clients do, you get to see what their siblings do too & get to fulfil your many tasks! You kill many many birds with one stone. That's what I like about home visits.

Except when they take place late at night, and at ulu places even cab drivers don't dare to venture. Like the one coming right up tomorrow evening. Malam Jumaat lagi. Let's see if this one makes me amazed or amused.
