The thing about Kids

Spent my sunday morning at Wild Wild Wet, it was an event under Explorer Kids, a kids membership club based in Downtown East under NTUC club..

The event in question? Junior Beach Babes and Surf Dudes 2006.. What happens is kids sign up for the contest and the deserving ten get to display their talents to the crowd, the basic package would include a "catwalk" down the aisle followed by some display of.. competency.. haha..

And so, some kids impressed.. and so were.. erm.. thank you for participating. The way kids are brought up these days, you can see how some are really groom and taught to have showmanship and be comfortable standing out in a crowd.

Others, are just too shy to interact, too stiff to move, too relunctant to show everyone what they can do behind closed doors.. It makes me wonder, how will my kids grow up in future? Should kids be nurtured to be active and outgoing? To be able to start proud in a crowd and flaunt what they have in a contest such as today's? Or will my kid be the quiet one who would cry if i challenge to put him/her on a stage to compete?

Kudos to the ones who clearly lack the exposure and experience and yet dared to take the stage, abeit the distinctive lack of showmanship was there for all to see.. All in all, it was an entertaining morning will plenty of laughs and fun, together, a glimpse of how our young can be at such a age, a great and exciting future awaits them..

meanwhile.. look who was there too

Kids, the future is yours
